SureView Systems and Calipsa announced the integration of their cloud-based flagship technologies. The integration of Calipsa’s software with SureView’s next-generation physical security information management (PSIM) platform improves the ability of security command centers to manage and respond to video alarm events.

Calipsa’s false alarm reduction software easily integrates with
the SureView PSIM platform and quickly deploys with no on-premises hardware
required. Once a video alarm is triggered on a connected camera, a SureView
server sends video to a Calipsa server, where algorithms look for human and
vehicle movement before returning genuine alarms. Filtering up to 95% of false
alarms significantly reduces the chance of SOC operators missing or being
delayed in their response to an actual event. The filtering process takes about
a second to complete.
