IndigoVision, a leader in live networked video technology, has announced that it has signed an additional license with the US Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center, San Diego (SSC San Diego) to deliver its advanced motion detection technology for homeland security and mobile robot applications. This follows on from an initial license deal signed in March 2002 that enabled SSC San Diego to incorporate miniaturized versions of IndigoVision s live networked video cameras into defense applications.
IndigoVision has customized its motion detection technology for the development of tactical surveillance and security applications to support military mission execution and force protection. This new license enhances the existing VideoBridge-enabled robots used by SSC San Diego by enabling them to detect motion outdoors. IndigoVision s technology greatly reduces error rates and false alarms with sophisticated filtering. Cameras can be pre-programmed to override changes in light and natural weather, as well as subtleties like tide and tree movements.
Robin Laird, head of the Adaptive Systems Branch commented: IndigoVision s products provide the flexibility to offer video, two-way audio, triggers and motion detection over a wireless network in a miniature package the size of a credit card. Its sophisticated motion detection, fast event retrieval and smooth integration with existing security systems greatly reduce costs and development time.
