BriefCam is an intelligent video analytics platform developed to optimize forensic investigations, deliver operational insights, and improve efficiency in Video Surveillance Systems.
Features and Capabilities
The BriefCam platform is composed of three main modules:
- Review;
- Respond;
- Research;
Review
The REVIEW module enables post-event forensic investigations and synopsis-based video analysis powered by deep learning technology, which is many times faster than standard video review.
It allows precise and adjustable location of subjects of interest through appearance similarity for people, vehicles, and activities; facial recognition; license plate recognition; and a wide range of person and vehicle attributes as search criteria, using highly accurate metadata-based searches.
Using REVIEW, users can locate objects and events of interest to advance investigations and significantly accelerate response times.
This solution supports effective case management, allowing investigators to organize video assets, flag objects of interest, summarize case findings, and export reports while collaborating dynamically with other users.
With REVIEW, hours of video can be reviewed in minutes, and search results can be refined through tolerance, density, speed, direction, and sorting control filters.
Forensic Search
Video Synopsis®
REVIEW enables:
- Map views and comprehensive cross-camera search and filtering capabilities to enhance investigations and case management.
- Visual layers presenting activity, dwell time, common paths, and background changes as easy-to-read heat maps, providing better scene understanding.
- BriefCam’s patented VIDEO SYNOPSIS® solution, which simultaneously presents objects that appeared at different times in the video, resulting in a drastically shorter video segment that fully preserves the viewer’s ability to analyze the scene.
Respond
The RESPOND module enables alert-based response actions with real-time and situational awareness-based intelligent alerts for live video streams from VMS platforms.
It uses facial and license plate watchlists, along with count-based rules with totals per time period or simultaneous activity, sending notifications to the VMS, messaging systems, or other integrated systems and services.
Real-Time Alerts
Proactive Event Response
Watchlist Management
Visitor and Customer Engagement Optimization
With BriefCam RESPOND, real-time alerts can be triggered based on complex combinations of object classification and recognition filters, increasing situational awareness and delivering critical, time-sensitive intelligence.
RESPOND empowers teams to react to events as they occur, from proactive protection of people and property to improved visitor or customer engagement.
BriefCam enables greater responsiveness, real-time decision-making, and an effective balance between sensitivity, precision, and efficiency through alert rule configuration, facial and license plate watchlist management, and alert notifications to messaging services and VMS alarm areas.
Research
Surveillance Data Visualization
Data Analysis and Business Intelligence
Third-Party Data Integration
Report Generation and Export
The RESEARCH module offers quantitative analysis capabilities to provide actionable insights for business intelligence and operational efficiency, including customizable dashboards with detailed KPI analysis, behavioral trends, object movement, demographic segmentation, and people-object interaction.
It also features an extensible library of sector-specific analytical tools, enabling visual correlation between video metadata and third-party data displayed in dashboard widgets for effective visual correlation.
Discover patterns, drive strategic decision-making, and optimize operational and business practices by aggregating video data into a fully integrated, highly customizable business intelligence platform.
BriefCam RESEARCH visualizes object movement, demographic segmentations, behavioral trends, concentration areas, and object interactions. It offers interactive, intuitive, and easy-to-use dashboards for data analysis, along with tools for automatic generation and prioritization of relevant data points and charts.
With business intelligence, video analytics can be seamlessly correlated with third-party data sources such as point-of-sale, time management, and access control systems, providing a single, informed view of the environment.
Data can also be exported to external business intelligence databases for further analysis and correlation.
System Architecture
BriefCam has a modular architecture that can be easily integrated with video management systems (VMS) such as Milestone XProtect, Genetec, Avigilon, and others, to provide an additional layer of analytics on top of already-captured video data.
It operates as a complementary system, processing recorded videos and transforming them into structured data.
