LOUISVILLE, Ky., Sept. 9, 2008 – Honeywell (NYSE: HON) today introduced Rapid
Eye™ Active Alert®, a new digital video recorder (DVR) that includes embedded
video analytics designed to improve surveillance capabilities. Rapid Eye Active
Alert allows users to employ video analytics, which helps security personnel be
more efficient by analyzing and classifying behaviors captured on camera,
without the need for additional workstations or severs to support analytics
software.
“Today’s security market demands highly sophisticated technologies, and video
analytics continues to gain widespread appeal,” said Jordan Shishmanov, product
manager for Honeywell. “Rapid Eye Active Alert processes data quickly to allow
security operators to make better decisions. It’s an ideal solution for security
operators looking to expand functionality without investing in additional
equipment.”
The unit, which can capture 480 images per second, utilizes a Linux-based
operating system for high performance and reliability with stable and secure
operation. In a security industry first, users can install analytics on up to
eight channels, choosing from an assortment of Honeywell’s intelligent video
analytics suite – Active Alert®, People Counter, or Smart Impressions® – on a
channel-by-channel basis. Because the video analytics can look for more than 35
different events, users can customize their system to handle specialized
detection needs.
Video analytics helps prevent missed detections and false alarms. It
automatically detects, classifies and tracks incidents in real time and uses
advanced algorithms to identify and analyze objects and behaviors. Additionally,
powerful search tools instantly search each camera view to locate video and
enable users to define individualized event and alarm settings.
Honeywell will demonstrate Rapid Eye Active Alert at ASIS International 2008.
