THRIVE Intelligence debuts offsite event-based video security

by Shane Henson — September 14, 2012—Through new security offerings from THRIVE Intelligence, building owners and managers now have a way to ensure their buildings receive the 24-hour surveillance needed to help keep both people and property safe. The company recently debuted its video security-as-a-service offering, which integrates event-based video monitoring, edge-based analytics, audio intervention, Global Positioning System (GPS) tracking, and other alarm-monitoring services. THRIVE 360, the company’s flagship combination of technologies, analytics, and real-time monitoring, comes together in THRIVE’S national central command center, located in the Dallas/Ft. Worth metroplex.

Powered by advanced analytics, THRIVE 360 is an end-to-end video surveillance solution that not only watches, but also proactively intervenes and acts when there is an event. With the edge-based analytics, previously passive security cameras are transformed into active intelligence tools. Security rule—the events that trigger an alarm, and protocols—the actions to be taken when a security breach occurs, are determined and entered into the THRIVE Intelligence system according to each customer’s specifications.

When an alarm or event occurs, it is immediately reviewed by personnel located in the heart of THRIVE’S service offering, the company’s 24,000-square-foot, purpose-built command center. This facility, which has full disaster recovery capabilities, provides monitoring 24 hours a day, seven days per week. Personnel monitoring the video are highly trained, licensed Security Intervention Specialists and are supervised by law enforcement professionals, says THRIVE Intelligence.

Live footage of events can be streamed directly to customers and law enforcement officers en route via a smartphone, tablet or computer. In addition, incident reports and non-event footage in storage are provided with the service.
