City of Seattle Selects Cernium Corporation’s Security Video Analysis Solution to Protect Downtown Locations

Reston, VA – January 30, 2007 – Downtown Seattle’s Civic campus will now be safer, thanks to a video surveillance implementation by Cernium Corporation, a leading pioneer of video analytics solutions. Perceptrak, Cernium’s video analysis and behavioral recognition software, will analyze video from security cameras in Seattle’s downtown civic campus and enable continuous assessments of the urban landscape.

Cernium’s advanced technology will analyze video from security cameras to identify potential security threats and alert the security department when they occur. For example, when a person loiters in an area during odd hours or a vehicle stops suddenly in front of a building, Perceptrak will issue alerts via onscreen audio/visual notifications and text/email messages, enhancing response time, as well as log a video of the incident for future review.

“Cernium’s video analytics solution is the perfect fit for the needs of Seattle’s downtown civic campus,” said Mark Premo, Northwest regional account manager for Cernium Corporation. “A flexible, scalable and cost-effective solution was needed that could provide not only added security to the downtown civic campus, but also a forensic capability. Perceptrak served all those needs and was easily installed with no disruption to security operations.”
