OpenEye's Top Stories of the Year

Check out our 2022 highlights!

This was a big year for OpenEye as we experienced growth, launched a line of analytics-enabled cameras, introduced new features or enhanced existing ones, and shared how our cloud platform has helped our customers.

Analytics-Enabled Camera Lineup

Throughout the year, OpenEye released a series of cameras with person, vehicle and line-crossing analytics. They range from a 2MP mini turret to an 8MP outdoor dome camera. All are NDAA compliant.

Remote Client Clip Sharing

Users can share video clips from a remote client in OWS. The feature is included on the Command Station desktop client and OpenEye Mobile app for iOS. OWS streamlines the process by moving it to the cloud, making it faster and more secure than using physical media.

Smart Motion

OWS Smart Motion, in limited release, reduces false alerts and increases days of recorded video. Using analytics to detect motion patterns associated with persons and vehicles, Smart Motion ignores reflections, shadows, trees and other objects in an environment which can cause false motion events.

Bay Credit Union Case Study

Bay Credit Union wanted a way to easily view and manage its video surveillance system across its branches. Learn how OpenEye Web Services helped Bay Credit Union improve its operational efficiency through health monitoring and alerts, event searches and centralized user management.

Hellam Township Investigates Crime Using OWS

Giving law enforcement access to video from a variety of locations quickly when there is an incident is crucial. The police in Hellam Township, Pennsylvania, investigate crime using OWS. Features they find useful include remote access, thumbnail reports, and clip export and sharing.

Select Systems Grocery Case Study

OpenEye enabled a major U.S. grocery chain to manage its system more remotely and simplify operations by increasing staff access to video. The chain chose the OWS platform because OpenEye listened to their feedback and developed several new features to address their needs.

Organized Retail Crime Significantly Impacts Operations

Organized retail crime (ORC) has had a significant impact on retailers across the U.S. It costs businesses an average of $700,000 per $1 billion in sales, according to a 2020 study by the National Retail Federation. OpenEye offers several solutions to help prevent or provide evidence for such criminal activity, including cloud-based video surveillance and point-of-sale integration.

The Ongoing Value of Video Surveillance as a Service

Subscription-based service models are increasing in the security industry. What organizations want is a system that is always current rather than a product that can quickly become out of date or is not functional when it matters most. With VSaaS, a business can have confidence that the software managing its surveillance system is always updated to the latest version, which means it maintains the highest level of cybersecurity, feature sets and functionality.

Ednetics

Ednetics is an IT systems integrator who primarily serves K-12 schools. With safety being a primary concern, OpenEye’s platform enables schools to send push notifications if there is an incident or lockdown.

NAVCO

Employee-owned NAVCO provides access control, video, alarms and more to mid-size and large businesses, from grocery stores to banks. OWS enables the company to monitor system health and proactively diagnose problems before sending a service technician.
