RECON When every second counts.

Surveillance video analytics in real time for TSO

RECON transforms video into intelligence

Designed to deliver fast, actionable intelligence from live video streams, RECON empowers investigators to detect threats, identify targets, and accelerate decision-making in real time, whether in covert operations or live monitoring scenarios.

Live analysis is CPU-bound and scales with core count, at roughly 0.8 cores per 1080p stream. Talk to us about what that means for the number of streams a given machine will hold.

Featured highlights

  • Live alerts

    Events raised as they happen, with the clip attached so the decision is made visually, not on description.

  • Face detection and recognition

  • Vehicle attribute detection

  • Connect to Oculus and Audius devices

  • Object classification

  • Rule-based triggering

    Zones, directions, dwell and object type combine into rules that fit the operation, not the other way round.

  • OCR for ANPR/LPR extraction

    Read plates and text in real time and trigger on a watchlist match of full or partial licence plates.

  • Mobile push notifications

    The officer in the vehicle gets the same alert as the ops room, on the phone already in their pocket.

  • Streaming via RTSP(S)

From stream to alert, in three steps

One layered analytic chain, from the camera already deployed to the phone already in the officer's pocket.

  1. Connect

    Connect streams via RTSP or directly connect to the Covidence product range.

  2. Trigger

    A layered analytic approach enables you to set triggers for simple motion detection to advanced attribute search focused on persons or vehicles of interest. By providing a layered approach you get reliable analytics that work based on your deployment scenario. Deployable on CPU or GPU, you decide.

  3. Receive an alert

    Get notification of alerts in the ops room or on the go. Review clips quickly and create lifestyle profiles on the go by simply tagging and creating profiles.
