(2009) i-LIDS® Certification for Vi-System (Ver 3.3 SP1) as an “approved primary detection system for operational alert use in sterile zone monitoring applications”
Agent Vi’s Vi-System (Ver 3.3 SP1) is one of a very small number of analytics solutions that have received the highest possible i-LIDS® certification as a Primary Detection System for operational alert use in sterile zone monitoring applications. The i-LIDS® program is operated by the UK Home Office and is the only independent certification process which tests performance of video analytics products for specific applications. Vi-System received the highest possible grade as a “Primary Detection System”, certifying that it can be relied upon as the sole detection system, with no need for additional detection layers.
(2007) Detektor International Award for Innovative Achievement in CCTV Products
The award was bestowed to Agent Vi for developing a technology that meets the low bandwidth requirements of closed circuit television (CCTV) surveillance networks while supporting extremely large numbers of distributed cameras at the lowest industry cost. Lennart Alexandrie, Editor-in-Chief of Detektor Magazine and chairman of the Panel of Judges for the Detektor International Award, commented that “through retaining the strengths of both edge and server based intelligent analytics, the Agent Vi System avoids the individual limitations of each technology principle. This outstanding scalable solution for enterprise-type installations is truly an achievement of importance.”
(2006) Frost & Sullivan Award for Product Innovation in the Video Analytics Market
The award is bestowed annually to the company whose technological innovation, research efforts and sound business strategy have been successful in moving the video analytics industry forward. Agent Vi was named the award’s 2006 recipient based on Agent Vi’s exemplary-best practice in product development and market acceptance for its next generation IPoIP™ (Image Processing over IP) video analytics platform. Frost & Sullivan Industry Analyst Jason Halverson commented that the “distributed image processing architecture enables IPoIP to retain the strengths of both the ‘local' and ‘server' architectures, but without their limitations. The IPoIP feature that differentiates it from the competition in operational cost savings is its ability to update algorithms to all the devices on the network with a single download. Other systems typically require massive upgrades involving manual updates at each device, making this feature a significant cost saver.”
