BriefCam Now Available Through BGW Technologies Empowers Surveillance Systems With Faster Smarter Searches.

BriefCam Now Available Through BGW Technologies – BGW Technologies has added BriefCam, an advanced AI video analytics platform, to its range.

“We are extremely excited to announce that we are now offering BriefCam to our customers,” said Peter Ha, product manager at BGW Technologies.

“It’s one of those products that changes the way people work the moment they get their hands on it, and it fits perfectly with the kind of partner we’ve become — one that’s focused on helping installers and integrators do their best work on every job.“

“For anyone who hasn’t come across it yet, BriefCam takes hours of camera footage and lets you make sense of it in minutes,” Ha explained.

“Picture a motorway and imagine 24 hours of footage, with tens of thousands of vehicles going past. With BriefCam you can tell the system you’re looking for red cars, and it will work through that entire day and hand back every single match, each timestamped, each a click away from the original video, all in just under an hour.”

Another powerful piece of functionality is BriefCam Video Synopsis.

“This is the feature that tends to stop people mid-sentence when they view it,” Ha said. “Imagine 90 minutes of recorded footage that captures 3500 vehicles. BriefCam layers them over each another into a single 6-minute clip.

Video Synopsis

Ninety minutes of traffic, played back as one six-minute clip

Objects recorded hours apart are laid over each other and shown together. Each one keeps the timestamp it was actually captured at, and a click returns you to that moment in the original recording.

“Every vehicle is there, every vehicle keeps its own timestamp, and a click takes you straight back to the moment it actually happened. An hour and a half of watching becomes 6 minutes.”

“When people see that demonstrated and you can watch them do the maths on their own site. It’s truly mind-blowing.“

“As you can imagine, the filtering goes well beyond colour, you can instruct it to search for people, vehicles and objects – which can be filtered by size, direction of travel, speed, position on the roadway, time of day, or any combination of these attributes. What used to tie up a team for an afternoon could take one person a coffee break, now,” Ha smiled.

Try the idea

Describe what you are after. The system does the watching.

This is the part that changes how an operator spends their afternoon. Stack the filters below the way you would in a real search and watch the field of detected objects narrow.

Illustrative sample only. In BriefCam the same filters run across every object detected in the recording, and each result links back to the frame it came from.

"BriefCam is watching live as well," Ha added. "It can alert you the moment something of interest happens; the right vehicle, the wrong direction, someone where they shouldn't be, rather than you finding out about it 2 days later when someone finally gets around to reviewing the footage."

“The beauty is that it turns everyday camera activity into information you can use. Anything you can imagine can be analysed; how many people came through, when the busy periods were, where the crowds gathered, how long people stayed, this is a serious security tool."

"The other thing worth mentioning is the Milestone connection. BriefCam works hand in hand with Milestone's video management platform, which a lot of our customers already know and trust - this isn't a case of ripping things out and starting again, it's adding serious capability to systems people already have."

“That makes it an easy conversation to have with a customer,” said Ha.

“And that's why BriefCam sits so well with us at BGW Technologies. We don't just sell boxes. Our job is to make sure the installers and integrators who buy from us succeed on their own jobs and grow their own businesses. BriefCam is a product that helps them do exactly that, making it a natural fit."

"Important, too, when you bring BriefCam to a job through BGW Technologies, you're not just getting a licence and a log-in," Ha said.

"You're getting a partner who knows the product, knows how it works alongside Milestone, and is there on the phone when the job gets tricky. Our technical team can help you design the right solution, scope it properly and avoid the costly surprises that come with unfamiliar technology."

“Because education is at the heart of what we do, we'll help you and your team build the confidence to sell it, install it and support it well,” Ha said.

“That's the difference between a supplier and a success partner — and it's why BriefCam through BGW Technologies is the smarter way to bring smarter video to your customers. We've got you on every job."

Key Benefits And Features

Key benefits and features

The footage was always there. Finding what mattered in it was the problem.

BriefCam reads recorded and live video as objects rather than hours, so an afternoon of scrubbing becomes a query. Here is what that changes on a job.

Figures are the worked examples given by Peter Ha, product manager at BGW Technologies. Real-world performance depends on camera coverage, scene complexity and how the system is scoped.
