Cernium Corp., developer of video analytics-enabled products, recently announced it has launched a certification program for Perceptrak, now integrated with Milestone XProtect Enterprise. The program will certify integrators and value-added resellers to sell, design and provide technical support for Perceptrak for XProtect Enterprise.

"Analytics is quickly becoming an essential capability as video surveillance systems expand to higher and higher camera counts," said Melissa Blake, Perceptrak product manager for Cernium. "Perceptrak provides essential information about video content that allows administrators and end users to focus and respond only to relevant situations that require attention. Perceptrak for XProtect Enterprise gives users two powerful products in one seamless solution that enables a data-driven approach to video management, distribution, monitoring, storage and query. We are extremely pleased to offer certification training that will result in additional revenue opportunities for our channel partners."

Launched at ISC West in April 2008, Perceptrak for XProtect Enterprise is available for immediate delivery. It is an open-standards software add in that operates on COTS hardware for maximum design flexibility and seamlessly integrates with the Milestone video management system. Offering tremendous value to both channel partners and end users alike, Perceptrak is ideal both as an add in to existing Milestone systems and as an essential capability for new installations.

"The demand for powerful, easy-to-manage video surveillance capabilities is constantly growing," said Mark S. Wilson, marketing director, Americas, with Milestone. "Milestone's open platform enabled Perceptrak to seamlessly integrate with Milestone's powerful XProtect Enterprise video management system, giving users a flexible, affordable solution to address mission-critical video surveillance needs."

The certification program for Perceptrak for XProtect Enterprise will be offered through Security Consultants International, LLC (SCI), an industry training organization for IP-video security solutions. SCI was selected based on their experience in the industry and experience delivering the Milestone training and certification program.

"We are very happy to have partnered with Cernium on the Perceptrak for XProtect Enterprise training and certification program," said Keven Marier, managing member with SCI. "SCI specializes in training and consulting security professionals in the proper use and application of video security technology, and we are looking forward to educating the industry on how to best integrate Perceptrak for XProtect Enterprise into their operations."

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
