Prescient Group to introduce iSentry AI
Prescient Group, LLC, New York and Charlottesville, Virginia, and Washington, DC, the sole US provider of iSentry, a groundbreaking artificial intelligence-based video surveillance technology, this week is introducing the innovative iSentry software at the 15th World Congress of Intelligent Transport Systems convention at booth # 556 of the Javits Convention Center (November 16-20).
The iSentry launch in North America promises to be a new paradigm in artificial intelligence security surveillance technology. Proactive rather than forensic, iSentry is “the most technologically advanced proactive security software in the industry today,” according to Prescient Group LLC co-founder and President Charles Barber.
The iSentry program actively “learns” normal behaviors and then is able to distill suspicious or out of the ordinary behavior and then immediately takes responsive action as predetermined by the client.
According to Prescient Group LLC co-founder and Chairman Kendall Chen: “The iSentry advanced intelligence-based technology works to protect business and industry from multiple harm and security concerns. This should be of extraordinary interest to the World Congress of Intelligent Transport Systems audience, specifically with highway or rail transportation and container box/ shipping and maritime interests; as well as in the defense sector; homeland security; the power generation sector; hospitality; business in general and hospitals.”
How iSentry works: iSentry learns normal behavior by observation and detects unusual activity. Using advanced artificial (AI) software, the iSentry software is able to learn the activity patterns of the things and people in the camera’s view; and how to filter out normal activity and detect unusual activity. iSentry’s “black screen” technology dramatically increases video surveillance efficiencies, utilizing a client’s existing closed circuit television infrastructure. The iSentry technology maintains a black screen until it identifies unusual or suspicious behavior is identified. Therefore, only “of interest” video is displayed. Concurrently, pre-programmed responses, pre-determined by the client,

such as email notifications, claxon alerts, lockdowns, and notification of building and regional security personnel, are already underway.
Mr. Barber and Mr. Chen note that the iSentry technology has the power to accomplish five things that few other systems can:
*Detect unusual activity: iSentry can filter out over 95% of so-called normal motion video and only present unusual activity to operators. It provides excellent and unrivalled situational awareness and the ability to achieve an effective, immediate response
*Multiple camera analysis and management: iSentry accommodates large numbers of cameras by scheduling interesting video, allowing the operator to shift priorities without missing critical incidents.
*Active pan/ tilt/ zoom camera control: iSentry can autonomously command the PTZ camera to zoom in and track the target. This ensures detailed images are captured, all without human detection.
*Ultra long video archive: iSentry relegates low-interest video to be saved in a lower resolution or quality, reducing disc storage space by 90%
*Reliable outdoor left-object detection: iSentry can reliably detect small objects left in busy outdoor areas, even during most all weather conditions, rain, hail or shine.
