Cernium Partners with Commercial Security Leader Sonitrol
Companies to pilot enhanced alarm verification solution
RESTON, Va., Sept. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Cernium Corporation, the leading
developer of real-time video behavior recognition software, announced today
that it has partnered with Sonitrol, the leading provider of verified
electronic security solutions, to evaluate an analytics-enabled solution
for enhanced alarm verification in a market test. The technology solution
combines Cernium's revolutionary P-Core(TM) video analytics engine with
existing closed-circuit television (CCTV) to enhance incident
authentication and dramatically reduce false alarms.
"Sonitrol's verified audio and video technology has helped police
apprehend over 158,000 suspects since 1977, and we have the lowest false
dispatch rate in the industry," said Gregg Groenemann, Vice President of
Marketing for Sonitrol. "Incorporating video analytics to enhance the
verification capabilities in our SonaVision monitored video solution is a
logical step for Sonitrol. Everything we have seen of Cernium's P-Core
solution has been impressive so we are excited about evaluating their
technology."
P-Core technology makes surveillance cameras "smart," allowing them to
differentiate between common false alarm triggers such as blowing leaves
and a real alarm threat such as the presence of a person. P-Core can also
recognize certain patterns of behavior, including lurking individuals,
people in restricted areas, and slow-moving or stopped vehicles. Deployed
in conjunction with a monitoring service such as Sonitrol's, the technology
can help determine whether an alarm warrants immediate attention or is
false based on the behaviors taking place.
"With verified response laws becoming increasingly prevalent across the
nation, monitoring services need fast, accurate capabilities to distinguish
situations that require immediate intervention from those that don't," said
Phil Robertson, Cernium's Vice President of Corporate Development, "Using a
combination of video monitoring and analytics to view a location and see
what type of activity is occurring goes a long way towards ensuring a fast
response and helping to reduce false alarms."
To see Cernium's intelligent video solutions in action, visit booth
1675 at ASIS International 2007 in Las Vegas, Nev. from September 24 - 27,
2007.
