The system is an open framework for event-based surveillance that includes advanced indexing and analytics technologies.  It is fully customizable and will support Axis entire line of network cameras and video servers.  Axis network cameras and video servers are currently being used in several pilot projects IBM has installed for enterprise-level customers in several industries. The pilots focus on security for situation awareness -- providing centralized monitoring, real-time alerts across multiple geographic locations and intelligent video analytics.
The IBM system is also tying the Axis network cameras and video servers to other customer applications, such as point-of-sale software for the retail environment. This will enable Axis network video to become a more integrated tool for loss prevention and inventory management.
