Remark Accelerates the Digital Transformation for “Smart Cities” in Partnership With Systems Integrator, the DSSL Group

Remark Holdings, Inc., a leading provider of AI-driven video analytics for security and operational efficiency announced its partnership with the DSSL Group. The partnership supports the delivery of Remark’s Smart Safety Platform (SSP) to smart city projects.

Remark’s SSP for smart cities delivers a positive change to the dynamics and delivery of public sector services by providing increased safety in public spaces, buildings, assets and a more efficient place overall with a dashboard that supports increased situational awareness for security and law enforcement teams with real-time event alerts, advanced attribution video search features, traffic analytics, and anomaly detection.

With the right video analytic features, authorities can take proactive measures to boost the safety of residents, accelerate incident investigations, automate parking lots, trigger automated workflows, and streamline reporting with predictive analytics for future planning.

Key features within Remark’s Smart Safety Platform includes:

• Traffic monitoring, including incident detection and automatic license plate recognition.
• Advanced attribution search, to identify a person or event of interest.
• Behavioral detection, e.g., violence, loitering.
• Crowd intelligence, e.g., intrusion detection, perimeter monitoring.
• Object detection, e.g., fly-tipping (i.e.,illegal dumping), abandoned luggage, fire and smoke, weapon detection.

Aaron Stephens, Managing Director at DSSL Group comments, “in creating ‘Smart and Safe Cities’ we need to provide our clients with feature-rich analytics, such as license plate recognition, people tracking and behavioral analysis. We partnered with Remark because they are camera agnostics and have the technology to seamlessly integrate with our hardware.”

“We reviewed a number of video analytic solutions, and it was clear that Remark’s Smart Safety Platform addressed a number of the critical challenges faced by local authorities; for example, intrusion detection, visual boundary violation, unauthorized users in parking spaces, crowd intelligence with density analytics for pedestrians and traffic. The volume of events was previously hard to differentiate and filter manually, but SSP proved to be the solution that empowers security teams to act quicker and plan more efficiently.

As we advance, we look forward to delivering data analytic reports for foot traffic and crowd density within towns and green spaces, allowing local authorities to make accurate decisions with their budgets in the future,” Mr. Stephens further commented.

“Being able to capture and identify objects, people, and vehicles is critical in creating ‘Smart Cities.’ Our video analytics solution, SSP, has several key features, such as the crowd-intelligence module used to detect gatherings or count people with real-time event alerts. Oftentimes a suspicious gathering leads to a violation or crime, so by detecting questionable situations, we can work to prevent a misdemeanor from happening,” Mark Rainbow, Senior Business Development Manager within Remark comments, “another example is that, with our loitering-detection module, authorities can identify someone walking with suspicious intent, perhaps on the perimeter of an event venue, and set to recognize the amount of time someone has been loitering. Our object-detection module can detect anything from left luggage, fly-tipping, animal, vehicle, person, weapon, fire, and smoke to automatic license plate recognition for access control, to name a few. DSSL Group can choose the modules they need on a client-by-client basis, so they don’t have to buy the full suite of modules within the Smart Safety Platform, just those of interest, making it an affordable solution.”
