According to research, humans miss out on more than 90 percent of video activities after manual monitoring. A new solution is automating workflow and enabling the visualization of distinct events with unprecedented precision to improve public safety and overall security. The technology leverages artificial intelligence to deliver actionable insights for more agile responses. 

The Curiosity Smart Video Analytics solution launched by Sprint delivers automated alerts and advanced video analytics technology, helping to make smarter decisions, respond faster to potential emergencies, and improve efficiency while keeping people and property safe.

It is a highly adaptable and intelligent video analytics solution that integrates data, video sources and existing video assets, applying advanced analytics techniques.

The platform, based on technologies by Hitachi Vantara and Ericsson, “is enabling the transformation of critical security operations – from government to enterprises – with the power of AI and IoT to generate intelligence that can be acted upon faster and with more accuracy,” said Ivo Rook, senior vice president of IoT and product development at Sprint. 

“Enterprises are increasingly leveraging video cameras as an ‘all-contextual’ sensor that when combined with advanced analytics can deliver an array of critical insights about what’s going on in their environments, from smart cities to smart factories and beyond,” said Rich Karpinski, Research Director at 451 Research. “Municipalities in particular are investing heavily in video, with a lot of IoT-based video insight applications deployed by 42% of cities today, growing to over half, or 55% within two years, according to 451’s Voice of the Enterprise IoT survey, supporting applications such as public safety and intelligent transportation.”
