The explosion of video data is making the review of video a never-ending story, unless an effective technology is applied. The beauty of the VIDEO SYNOPSIS® solution is that it literally makes a long story short. It does this without the loss of context or content. You can always easily return to the original video and be sure you are seeing everything that happened on camera. Anyone needing to review hours of video can do it in a few minutes. It’s a powerful tool that enables smarter, quicker and more accurate investigation, freeing up a lot of time to deal with other tasks.
The VIDEO SYNOPSIS technology works by separating between static background and dynamic moving events. The events are extracted, tagged and data-based.

Furthermore, events can be sorted and displayed according to a range of different attributes, such as color, size, speed, direction and other parameters and classifications.
