Innovi is based on Agent Vi's patented image processing architecture that distributes the image processing task between an edge device and a server. By employing Amazon Web Services’ (AWS) cloud infrastructure, no dedicated servers are required on site for video analytics. Moreover, Agent Vi’s unique architecture eliminates the need to stream video to the cloud, presenting an optimal solution for low bandwidth environments and allowing an unlimited number of cameras, located in geographically scattered locations, to be easily connected to the service.

By implementing computerised vision technology including deep learning, Innovi provides effective detection performance without requiring the lengthy fine tuning usually associated with video analytics setup.

The initial Innovi offering includes a set of features developed specifically to meet the needs of Central Monitoring Stations (CMS), allowing them to scale their monitoring operations with ease and flexibility and increase the level of security and incident response provided to their customers. Innovi is offered at an affordable pay-per-use monthly fee model, saving on the capital costs typically associated with video analytics installations.

Itsik Kattan, CEO, Agent Vi, commented "Innovi is set to revolutionize the video surveillance industry, starting with the CMS market and gradually expanding to additional verticals. Agent Vi’s patented software architecture, which enables the leveraging of cloud computing without the requirement to stream video to the cloud, allows us to easily introduce additional capabilities such as video search, business intelligence and big data applications.”

Zohar Adler, Product Manager, Agent Vi, added “Innovi will support all types of surveillance cameras, allowing CMS to rely on their existing or preferred camera models, without the need to install specific types of cameras to enjoy the benefits of video analytics. A major emphasis in the product design has been the ease of setup and use, which allows enabling a camera with Innovi within minutes, without complex configuration or calibration processes.”

Innovi is the latest innovation from Agent Vi, expanding its product line alongside the established on-premise video analytics platform, Savvi.

Agent Vi will present Innovi and Savvi at ISC West this week in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA ( on the Axis stand),  at ESX on 8-10 June in Fort Worth, Texas., USA, and at Ifsec on 21-23 June in London, UK.
