Hertz Implements Video Analytics From ioimage At Israeli Operations Center

  • Oct 06, 2008
ioimage recently announced that Hertz Corp. has successfully implemented ioimage video analytics. Hertz installed ioimage appliances to protect its operations center in Israel to reduce losses due to theft that is reaching close to $1 million a year.

A comprehensive network video solution including ioimage intelligent cameras, encoders and command center software, was installed to prevent theft of vehicles and auto parts and deter unauthorized persons from entering restricted zones. The system monitors the entire 20,000 square meter perimeter surrounding Hertz' garage, sales center and offices around the clock. It is also securing sensitive indoor areas such as the entrance to the main building after hours.

The Hertz security system was comprised of active infrared detectors, an inductive fence, DVR and CCTV cameras. ioimage retrofitted the site with a series of multi-channel intelligent encoders, IP cameras and a command center providing centralized management and system-wide command and control.

According to Nir Tamim, security officer at Hertz, the new system has surpassed the company's expectations.

"The benefits are numerous," Tamim said. “The system has already proven itself by detecting several security breaches. It has also enabled us to cut down on the number of night guards.We are impressed with how easy it is to use, and the significant reduction we've had in false alarms."

"We are pleased to have been able to provide Hertz with a best-of-breed system that meets all of their security requirements," said Dvir Doron, ioimage VP Marketing. "ioimage is committed to enabling global organizations comply with rigid security policies and enhance their security systems with video analytics by providing flexible and effective solutions."

It did something that no analog system could: transmit video over a standard IP network. Read Now

  • 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.
