Mexico. viisights, developer of behavioral recognition systems for real-time video intelligence, has been chosen by the city of León, Mexico, to improve the city's safety and help prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus.
Applied to the existing videos in one of the most populated cities in the country by the national integrator MER Group Mexico, whose SMART M platform will be installed in the C4 police and integrated with viisights systems, Wise will be used to identify suspicious behavior, violent activity, weapon detection, crowd behavior, perimeter protection, monitoring of traffic and environmental changes such as smoke or fire. The newly applied technology will help increase public safety, enable faster responses to violent and suspicious activity, and improve traffic control and crowd behavior across the city.
"We are proud to help improve the lives of citizens in yet another city with our innovative behavioral analysis technology," said Asaf Birenzvieg, CEO of viisights. "Our mission has always been to improve security by providing valuable and actionable information, and the city of Leon will undoubtedly be a better place to live as a result."
viisights' advanced behavioral analysis technology, powered by neural networks, can differentiate between human behaviors like hugging and fighting, and even determine whether face coverings are worn with astounding accuracy.
"We will implement intelligent behavior analysis of viisights in hundreds of existing cameras already deployed throughout the city, which will be transmitted to the Smart-M platform installed in León C4," said Segev Hostik, CEO of Mer Group Mexico. "The ability to add such an innovative analytics solution capable of automatically detecting potential threats and emergencies to existing video infrastructure provides tremendous security, protection and cost advantages while enabling the City of León to leverage previous investments in surveillance technologies."
viisights' behavioral recognition technology is optimized to minimize false alerts and their related costs, while maximizing security and protection, providing a new level of video intelligence for predictive analytics, incident prevention, response management, and risk mitigation. The company further explains that by analyzing only the general patterns of behavior of individuals, groups, vehicles and traffic flows, viisights technology does not identify faces or license plates to protect personal privacy.
