SureView Systems, the globally renowned open response platform provider for running security operations and Calipsa, a market-renowned provider of deep-learning powered video analytics for false alarm reduction, have announced the integration of their cloud-based flagship technologies.

The integration of Calipsa’s software with SureView’s next-generation physical security information management (PSIM) platform improves the ability of security command centres to manage and respond to video alarm events.

Calipsa – SureView Systems partnership

Calipsa’s false alarm reduction software easily integrates with the SureView PSIM platform and quickly deploys with no on-premises hardware required. Once a video alarm is triggered on a connected camera, a SureView server sends video to a Calipsa server, where algorithms look for human and vehicle movement before returning genuine alarms.

Filtering up to 95% of false alarms significantly reduces the chance of SOC operators missing or being delayed in their response to an actual event. The filtering process takes about a second to complete.

False alarm reduction technology - PSIM platform integration

Brian Baker, the Chief Revenue Officer for Calipsa, said the integration of false alarm reduction technology into the PSIM platforms is an example of SureView’s dedication to protecting its customer’s people and assets.

Brian Baker stated, “SureView's PSIM platforms automatically filter and prioritise input from multiple disparate security and related systems, to present the SOC with alarms and events requiring immediate attention. The addition of our software vastly reduces false alarms, enabling operators to respond more effectively and efficiently, without unnecessary delays.

Reduction in false alarms helps SOCs

The number of video alarms in a typical SOC can overwhelm even the best-trained staff"

Simon Morgan, the Chief Product Manager of SureView Systems, said the integration of Calipsa false alarm software is a valuable enhancement for users of SureView’s next-generation PSIM platforms.

Simon Morgan stated, “The number of video alarms in a typical SOC can overwhelm even the best-trained staff. This partnership with Calipsa virtually eliminates nuisance alarms and the many operational bottlenecks they cause. End-users may deploy the Calipsa software right out of the box with our PSIM platform.

Technology integration

Calipsa’s artificial intelligence-based false alarm reduction software uses deep-learning technology to automatically identify humans and vehicles, while ignoring alarms generated by weather, blowing foliage or stray animals.

SureView’s open, easy-to-use PSIM platform uses AI to help SOCs improve security outcomes, by providing operators with the data and procedures required, in order to resolve alarm situations shown on a single display. The PSIM platform is available in a Software as a Service (SaaS) model, enabling end users to subscribe to additional services, as security needs change.
