Enterprises, governments and public agencies have never before been more focused on the need for security. That's why the market for video surveillance software is expected to grow 25% to 30% annually from its total of $3B in 2008 according to New York City-based Mallon Associates, a division of CE Unterberg, Towbin. Enterprise software isn't usually what comes to mind when you think of video surveillance. It's more likely to be CCTV cameras, DVRs, and access control but these are merely passive sensors. With a growing need to actively detect threats in advance, software technologies are playing an ever greater role in analyzing and alerting at the first sign of a suspicious event. For total protection, these technologies can integrate with a variety of sensor sources such as cameras, access card readers and biometrics to provide a new breed of video surveillance solutions.

Based on advanced new video algorithms developed over three years within NEC's Computer Vision Labs in Santa Clara, California, Videint's SmartCatch® software can accurately track numerous objects and simultaneously identify multiple behaviors whether in the simplest or the most complex security enfironments, indoors or out, regardless of adverse weather or changing conditions.
