iOmniscient is a pioneer in video analytics that has been developing solutions since 1994. They provide intelligent video analytics, video management systems, and automated response platforms to analyze video from railways and other industries. Their solutions can detect issues like abandoned objects, intrusions, and overcrowding even in very crowded scenes using patented non-motion detection technology. iOmniscient works with rail systems around the world to provide security, safety, and operations solutions through intelligent video analysis.

15. Why does a surveillance system need
intelligence?
Studies show that CCTV systems, including DVR’s are limited
without added intelligence
Just watching 2 monitors:
After 10 minutes, the operator misses 45% of the action.
After 22 minutes, the operator misses 95% of the action.
This data is for a relatively empty scene. How can an operator keep
track of all the action in a busy scene?
Hence the need for intelligence to effectively detect,
especially in crowded and complex environments
16. The TOTAL Solution
Eyes Brain Response
IQ Series ASAP
Cameras Solution System
17. Types of Intelligence
Detection
Requires wide angle far view
Identification
Requires close-up view
18. How do you measure surveillance intelligence?
Everyone claims INTELLIGENCE
We have rated intelligence in the
surveillance industry, using the human IQ
rating
Average of the population is IQ-100
