False alarm reduction enables the security team to minimise response times and increase security operations

Calipsa Pro Analytics’ four advanced tiers – Detect, Detect Pro, Protect and Investigate –provide customers with customised forensic analysis, real-time camera health checks, and false alarm filtering to weed out harmless events triggered by nuisance factors such as lighting, weather, or foliage.

Their team has chosen Calipsa’s video analytics because they see a strong value in adding to their operational business intelligence. I’m looking forward to working closely with the team to achieve great results.”
