These enhancements further enable customers to rapidly transform video into actionable intelligence.

"In order to extract the value from their video surveillance investments, it is critical for enterprises and public safety agencies to adopt a comprehensive approach to video analytics as part of their overall surveillance strategy," said Trevor Matz, BriefCam President and CEO.

BriefCam v5.4 exponentially increases on-demand video processing efficiency and performance, delivering over 100% faster throughput than previous versions, while simultaneously improving accuracy for in-the-wild class and attribute classification. New key features include:

BriefCam REVIEW | Accelerate Investigations: Robust multi-camera search capabilities identify men, women, children, vehicles, and lighting changes with speed and precision. Offering 27 classes and attributes, in addition to face recognition, appearance similarity, color, size, speed, path, direction, and dwell time, providing an ever increasing and powerful set of distinct search combinations.

BriefCam RESPOND | Attain Situational Awareness: Define dynamic rules for count-based alerts that trigger notifications for a specified number of objects or a concurrent number of objects in a predefined period of time. Accelerate time to target with one-click case creation based on an alert, and rapidly review all daily alert events with a video synopsis in minutes.

BriefCam RESEARCH | Derive Operational Intelligence: Rapidly create and customize interactive, intuitive dashboards with chart suggestions that auto-generate reports and Insight Advisor that prioritizes relevant data points. Leverage visual layers to expose object interactions, dwell time, paths, and activity heatmaps. Dynamically build operational intelligence dashboards from both uploaded video files and VMS-based video data.

BriefCam works seamlessly with third-party products, providing partners and end-users alike with freedom of choice, while delivering a disruptive, scalable and easy to use video content analytics platform.
