ACTi's dedication to develop and integrate innovative end to end solutions contributes to the partnership with iOmniscient. iOmniscient is able to provide unique video analytics capability to support ACTi's extensive IP surveillance solutions.

"This dedication towards technology innovation and providing complete end to end solutions to mean that ACTi is well suited to partner with iOmniscient" says Dr Rustom Kanga, CEO of iOmniscient. "iOmniscient is dedicated to providing innovative solutions for their customers needs. This is a belief shared by ACTi"

iOmniscient and ACTi have successfully integrated IQ-Hawk, a world first convergent technology capable of detection and identification within one camera with ACTi's range of megapixel cameras. ACTi's megapixel camera range provides clearer and better picture quality at an affordable cost.

"ACTi is very excited to work with iOmniscient and to provide a complete surveillance solution with video intelligence for the customers," said Frank Li, ACTi's solution development director. "iOmniscient is a well-known video intelligence company and through this new integration of ACTi's full Megapixel product line and iOmniscient's video intelligence solution, customers can enjoy the best video performance with intelligent video analysis. ACTi provides complete product line including IP cameras and video servers to cover all segments ranging from entry-level to high end level of the security market. This new integration will greatly assist system integrators and distributors to provide superior solutions to their clients and win more business at better profit margins."

iOmniscient's IQ Hawk technology combines detection and identification capabilities, in one camera. Traditional PTZ cameras which attempt to zoom in on people or vehicles involved in an incident are easy to defeat by seasoned criminals and terrorists because they can be distracted with decoys. They can only ever zoom in on one person at a time. IQ-Hawk can detect any number of incidents occurring at the same time and identify all the people and vehicles involved, according to the company.

IQ Hawk also provides a major savings to its users. "The IQ Hawk system has a unique patent pending method for optimizing bandwidth and storage usage, which allows the system to operate very effectively", says Ivy Li, managing director for iOmniscient. "There can be a 200 times potential savings in storage and bandwidth for a 5 mega-pixel camera. This means that if your storage previously cost USD 200, with IQ-Hawk it would only cost only USD 1."
