Avocado Security has announced that its security and business intelligence (BI) optimisation technology is strengthening campus safety measures for educational facilities looking to gain analysis and insight from the images generated by their security cameras.

According to the company, its new technology delivers BI with security images by taking the video images from surveillance cameras and translating them into usable business data and statistics.

Kevin Shahbazi, CEO of Avocado Security, said: Avocado Security focuses on delivering ‘Business Continuity and Operational Intelligence’ by taking untapped, unmanaged security information, dormant in video files, and converting them into consistent and reliable business intelligence.”

Avocado said that detailed security information about one location, or even multiple locations, can be shared across departments with school executives and high-level administrators, along with security personnel, providing them with ongoing information about the operational intelligence of their entire organisation.

The new technology, which is reportedly device (DVR) agnostic, can convert video images from the existing security equipment that comes from one vendor or from multiple equipment vendors and translate those images into usable data.
