Iveda Launches Next-Gen 4G Body Camera with AI Capabilities
Iveda,
the worldwide provider of IvedaA intelligent
video search technology, Sentir video
surveillance products, IvedaPinpoint and
IvedaHome IoT
(Internet of Things) platforms with smart devices, today announced the launch
of the next-generation of VEMO, an AI body camera. VEMO is integrated with
IvedaAI intelligent video search technology, featuring face recognition,
license plate recognition, object search and other AI functions.
Iveda has executed a reseller
agreement with Clearview Asset Protection which specializes in selling to law
enforcement and the military.
“We’re excited to partner with
Iveda,” said Lance Thomas, founder and president of ClearView Asset Protection.
“For such an advanced technology, VEMO is easy to set up and user friendly.
It’s effortless to integrate with the solutions we provide our domestic and
international customers.”
Using 4G, VEMO streams live video to
headquarters and doubles as a walkie talkie with push-to-talk feature (PTT).
PTT allows communication from the bodycam to headquarters or to other VEMO
devices in the same group. VEMO is WiFi enabled which is ideal for city-wide
deployments. This saves the city cellular data cost where WiFi infrastructure exists.
VEMO will be 5G ready when the network is widely available.
The new VEMO has received
endorsements from public safety organizations.
“Iveda’s technology has practical
applications beneficial in our initial and continuing professional education
for criminal justice practitioners, first responders, public safety
professionals and the general public,” commented Scott Henry, director of
Mansfield University Public Safety Training.
Iveda recently joined The Emergency
Response Training and Certification Association (ERTCA) to develop new
standardized applications for the public safety industry, along with more than
twenty other ERTCA member organizations.
Eric Porterfield, CEO of ERTCA said
“Iveda’s body camera with real-time AI video search capabilities is like having
another set of eyes in the field.”
VEMO’s integration with IvedaAI makes
it unique because VEMO can stream directly into the IvedaAI platform for
real-time video analytics to search for faces, objects or license plates in
real time.
VEMO has many practical applications
beyond law enforcement. For instance, it may be used for remote site surveys,
medical, health and safety applications. It may also be used as in-vehicle
surveillance for taxi and rideshare services.
“Our partnership with Clearview and
their affiliation with law enforcement associations give us a new sales channel
for VEMO and IvedaAI,” said David Ly, CEO of Iveda. “We’ve been collaborating
on many lucrative projects and we plan to share more in future announcements.”
According to Mordor Intelligence, a
market intelligence firm, the wearable and body-worn camera market was valued
at USD 1.62 billion in 2020 and is expected to reach USD 425 billion by 2026
during the forecast period (2021 - 2026).
