GIT launches BriefCam Syndex in SA

April 2014 Surveillance

Graphic Image Technologies (GIT) has recently announced the availability of BriefCam Syndex, an enhancement to the original BriefCam VS Forensics video synopsis solutions. BriefCam Syndex includes a host of new functionality that enables users to extract valuable information from video with even more efficient review for better decision-making and faster action.

“The availability of BriefCam Syndex will benefit users locally with the enhanced search capabilities which allow users to further refine searches, ensuring even more efficiency and saving time and money. The search options now allow users to sieve through hours of footage by narrowing down searches with the incorporation of additional filtering criteria,” says Laurence Smith, executive at GIT.

In addition to offering a powerful set of tools for fast video review, BriefCam Syndex augments the basic video synopsis by allowing users to search video according to attributes that they define such as size, colour, speed, direction and location within the frame. All parameters are under the user’s control including the order of objects displayed in the video synopsis.

BriefCam Syndex is offered as a standalone product, or an integrated or embedded part of the video management system (VMS) environment.

“For example, law enforcement are looking for a hijacked vehicle and the only information available is the colour of the vehicle and the direction that it travelled in. BriefCam Syndex allows for the filtering of the footage including the ability to remove clutter i.e. anything other than a vehicle and search for a red vehicle driving in a northerly direction. This ensures that only red objects headed north will be featured on the footage, narrowing the time frame to search,” he adds.

BriefCam Syndex is a next-generation product range based on video synopsis technology. Video synopsis is the simultaneous presentation of objects, events and activities that occurred at different times. Users can pinpoint events of interest, reach targets quickly and take action as required.

Like all search engines, BriefCam Syndex ranks the video synopsis results in order by probability, from highest to lowest, ensuring that the most relevant events of interest are presented first.

“Since launching sales in mid-2010, BriefCam products have been used successfully by law enforcement and investigative agencies worldwide,” says BriefCam CEO & President Dror Irani. “The BriefCam Syndex product line is a major step forward in our effort to meet customer needs and stems from the vast experience we’ve gained during that time.

“The new product opens BriefCam up to new markets and uses beyond security as it also serves as a productivity enhancement tool. It enables users to extract value and actionable information from video that had previously gone unwatched due to time and cost constraints. With BriefCam, video can now easily be accessed, searched and reviewed, with rapid video review facilitating proactive modes of use.”

BriefCam Syndex is geared towards a range of user groups and market verticals with a variety of versions that are tailored to these specific markets.

* BriefCam Syndex FS enables law enforcement, security officers, and others responsible for the post-event review and investigation of large quantities of video files, to review hours in just minutes.

* BriefCam Syndex FS+ is intended for law enforcement and/or security officer teams – multiple users responsible for the post-event review of large quantities of video files for investigative purposes, as an individual, group or collaborative effort.

* BriefCam Syndex EP is ideal for small to medium-sized enterprises already invested in a VMS environment with up to 200 video cameras and a small team of video investigators engaged in post-event and/or real-time video review.

* BriefCam Syndex EP+ is a scalable solution intended for use by large enterprises with more than 100 cameras, able to support an unlimited number of cameras and investigators.

Irani says, “Video contains potentially valuable data. Until now, most recorded video was unwatched and eventually dumped along with that information because the existing tools for reviewing video were impractical. Your cameras and recording equipment are already in place. Why not exploit them?

“Our ultimate goal is to help turn seemingly useless video into useful and actionable information that supports better decision making and faster action.”
