Results are automatically enriched with contextual insights such as nearby activity, information about what happened before and after an incident, or locating people with similar appearances. These new capabilities make it easier for any operator to know which camera feed to review, rather than spending extra time trying to track down the right footage across a large deployment or switch between multiple tools to piece together an incident.

Built on an open architecture, Security Center SaaS works with one of the industry’s largest ecosystems of cameras and devices. This gives organizations the freedom to choose the hardware that fits their needs, without being tied to a single vendor. By tapping into the rich metadata generated by various makes and models of cameras, operators can use the system’s advanced search capabilities to quickly surface more accurate and contextual information.
