The AI-Powered Search Engine for Security & Surveillance Video is Here: Meet Ella
LAS VEGAS-()-PEPCOM at CES 2018 - IC Realtime, a leader in digital surveillance and security technology announces today the introduction of Ella, a new cloud-based deep-learning search engine that augments surveillance systems with natural language search capabilities across recorded video footage. Ella uses both algorithmic and deep learning tools to give any surveillance or security camera the ability to recognize objects, colors, people, vehicles, animals and more. Ella was designed with the technology backbone of Camio, a startup founded by ex-Googlers who realized there could be a way to apply search to streaming video feeds. The average surveillance camera sees less than two minutes of interesting video each day despite streaming and recording 24/7. On top of that, traditional systems only allow the user to search for events by date, time, and camera type and to return very broad results that still require sifting, often taking hours of time. Ella instead does the work for users to highlight the interesting events and to enable fast searches of their surveillance & security footage for the events they want to see and share. From the moment Ella comes online and is connected, it begins learning and tagging objects the cameras sees. Hardware agnostic, Ella also solves the issue of limited bandwidth for any HD streaming camera or NVR. Rather than push every second of recorded video to the cloud, Ella features interest-based video compression. Based on machine learning algorithms that recognize patterns of motion in each camera scene to recognize what is interesting within each scene, Ella will only record in HD when it recognizes something important.
Ella works with both existing DIY and professionally installed surveillance and security cameras and is comprised of an on-premise video gateway device and the cloud platform subscription. Ella subscription pricing starts at $6.99 per month and increases with storage and analysis features needed for the particular scope of each project. With an expansive product portfolio of surveillance solutions, IC Realtime innovates, distributes, and supports global video technology. Through a partnership with technology platform Camio, ICR created Ella, a cloud-based deep learning solution that augments surveillance cameras with natural language search capabilities.
Americans' Attitudes About Privacy, Security and Surveillance
Key legal decisions about the legitimacy of surveillance or tracking programs have hinged on the question of whether Americans think it is reasonable in certain situations to assume that they will be under observation, or if they expect that their activities will not be monitored. Adding to earlier Pew Research reports that have documented low levels of trust in sectors that Americans associate with data collection and monitoring, the new findings show Americans also have exceedingly low levels of confidence in the privacy and security of the records that are maintained by a variety of institutions in the digital age. Majorities of Americans expect that a wide array of organizations should have limits on the length of time that they can retain records of their activities and communications. 69% of adults say they are not confident that records of their activity maintained by the social media sites they use will remain private and secure. 66% of adults say they are not confident that records of their activity maintained by search engine providers will remain private and secure. At the time of the mid-2014 survey, the vast majority of respondents - 91% - had not made any changes to their internet or cellphone use to avoid having their activities tracked or noticed. Most want limits on the length of time that records of their activity can be retained. There is considerable variance on their views depending on the kind of organization that retains the records of the activity. 50% of adults think that online advertisers who place ads on the websites they visit should not save records or archives of their activity for any length of time. 55% of Americans support the idea of online anonymity for certain activities, but many are undecided on the issue. In the current survey, the majority of adults said that people should have the ability to use the internet completely anonymously for certain kinds of online activities. Men are more likely than women to think people should be able to engage in certain online activities anonymously, but support for internet anonymity does not vary by age.
