“Calipsa’s market-leading video False Alarm Filtering platform is now analyzing more than four-million video alarms daily and recently surpassed the milestone of one-billion alarms processed, with a 99.95% accuracy rate,” Baker said. “We are only at the beginning of the journey. The powerful team, product roadmap and strong investor backing have the formula for exponential growth and long-term success. I am both thrilled and honored to be joining Calipsa at such an important inflection point in its young history.”
