At the recent ISC West 2019 conference, UNICOM Government exhibited a Video Surveillance Solution that uses intelligent video analytics to generate valuable, business-oriented data from security video. This solution unveils a world of business opportunities hidden within necessary security technologies.
“We look at video as an asset. We are creating value and operational intelligence out of a traditional security-based technology. We are extracting value from an operational, marketing, sales, and entertainment standpoint,” explains Jon Kelly, Senior Solutions Architect at UNICOM Government.
Generating the Data
UNICOM layers its own video analytics software onto security-based video surveillance solutions, providing a plethora of highly actionable, real-time data. This data can be used to improve operational efficiency, gain customer insight, and enhance event security. All of which generate direct profit for the venue.
By tracking the flow of people inside venues, operational teams can immediately see where additional resources or products are needed and better serve their customers. Using applied video analytics and facial recognition technologies, event venues can better understand who attends their events and can target marketing campaigns more effectively during and after events. Object recognition capabilities can help security teams identify if someone is trying to hide something or is carrying an object that could be used as a weapon, proactively securing the venue.
Highly-Scalable and Nimble
By using a NetApp® E-Series video surveillance storage solution in a FlexPod® configuration with Cisco UCS Servers, UNICOM enables customers to view and analyze video data from hundreds or thousands of cameras in real-time. The ultra-dense, easily scalable solution is cost effective and provides a tremendous capacity in a very small footprint, catering to venues with limited space.
“Most importantly, E-Series’ extreme efficiency makes it future-proof. It is easy for event venues to build on top of it. And they can rest easy knowing that it is going to last a long time,” Kelly notes.
