A new video analytic technology launched recently is suitable for real-world scenarios where monitoring conditions are challenging.

Face Recognition video analytic is ideally suited for securing facilities that require an additional layer of protection for access control as well as real-time detection of persons of interest.

It was released by Aimetis Corp., a global leader in intelligent video management software (VMS). The technology seamlessly integrates with the Aimetis Symphony video management software. Searching for individuals can also be augmented by leveraging Face Recognition with Aimetis Symphony.

The technology supplies reliable facial reading designed for real-world security applications, regardless of changes in camera viewpoint, expression, facial hair, glasses, or poor lighting conditions.

According to the company’s website, security teams across all industries now have a tool that offers two-factor authentication for access control. Retailers and casinos can also protect property from repeat thieves through alert notifications, by placing pictures of known thieves on the block list.

The technology serves for combatting terrorism at airports, train stations, and other critical infrastructure locations by placing known terror suspects on a predetermined block list.

Face Recognition is designed to look past common differences viewpoint, expression, and lighting conditions to recognize the underlying shape of a face. The focus on the 3D shape of a face strengthens the analytic against challenges such as changes in facial hair and glasses.

“After listening to our customers, we understand the importance of having Face Recognition delivered as a native video analytic with Aimetis Symphony 7,” said Justin Schorn, Vice President of Product Management at Aimetis, as reported by PRWeb. “By having one platform that tracks, identifies, and registers persons of interest, security operators no longer need to switch back and forth between applications. Symphony leverages Face Recognition in many aspects of the product, including search, real-time alarming, and reporting.”
