Snap Network Surveillance

Established in September 2009 and based in Adelaide, South Australia, Snap's core technology has been commercialized from world-leading research in large-scale video surveillance undertaken between 2005 and 2009 in the Australian Centre for Visual Technologies (ACVT). Snap has taken the unique approach of focusing on a camera network as a whole, rather than applying computer vision techniques to individual cameras in isolation. This results in software with the ability to automatically learn the relationships between cameras across the network, and to apply this knowledge of the network topology in generating a simple, robust and intuitive video pursuit tool for security operators. Snap Force Multiplier (FMx) was first released in 2012 and was named Best Product at ASIAL's Security 2012 trade show. It complements the standard functionality of modern Video Management Systems and helps deliver more value from security systems - making operators more productive in managing video evidence, and more effective at live incident tracking. Led by our Chief Technology Officer, Dr Henry Detmold, the Snap engineering team continues to develop the product and expand support for Video Management Systems, which currently include Milestone XProtect, Honeywell's DVM500, Genetec Security Center, Avigilon Control Center and DVTel Latitude NVMS.
