New release provides expanded accountability and customization features for enterprise customers
Vancouver, BC, March 23, 2020--(T-Net)--Avigilon, a Motorola Solutions company (NYSE: MSI), a global leader in responsible video analytics, has announced the newest addition to its video security and analytics portfolio, Avigilon Control Center (ACC) 7.6.
ACC™ 7.6 is the company's most recent video management software release, enabling enterprise customers to better monitor their facilities through new AI-powered facial recognition features and analytics.
The new video management capabilities in ACC 7.6 include robust controls to govern the retention and accessibility of watch list data, the ability to create and manage multiple watch lists from within ACC and the option to upload reference images to a watch list.
--------------------------------------------
Editors Note: Vancouver-based Avigilon was acquired by Motorola for $1 Billion US in March 2018.
--------------------------------------------
These features are built into the solution natively, meaning that the technology is developed and owned by Motorola Solutions as opposed to a third-party vendor.
In addition, the new facial recognition capabilities do not make consequential decisions or initiate actions on their own. The data that are entered and saved in the watch lists are managed and maintained by the enterprise customers employing the technology.
"When leveraged responsibly, facial recognition is an incredibly powerful tool that can assist in numerous ways, including helping enterprise organizations make better informed decisions that empower them to respond to events proactively," said John Kedzierski, senior vice president, Video Security Solutions, Motorola Solutions. "For our enterprise customers, we believe potential facial recognition matches should always be assessed and verified by a trained specialist who can then determine whether further investigation or action is necessary."
For example, with the heightened vigilance across school campuses, district officials are able to employ the technology to ensure that anyone deemed a threat to the students and staff on campus has their photo added to the system. When there is a face match made against the watch list, the school's security operators receive a notification so that they can take proactive measures to assess the situation and ensure the safety of students and staff.
In addition to new watch list and facial recognition capabilities, ACC 7.6 features Unusual Activity Detection analytics that provide site-wide intelligence with the ability to recognize out-of-ordinary activity such as unusual speed of movement or location of people or vehicles. This edge-based intelligence distinguishes between typical and abnormal events by continuously learning what usual activity might be for a scene over time. For example, if there is an individual running through a crowded mall, a security guard could be alerted in Focus of Attention to locate where the individual is and take measures to understand the situation.
