Open Application Store to launch International Security Journal
Security and Safety Things GmbH is returning to ISC West 2020 and can showcase its new open Application Store, featuring a lot more than 40 ready-to-use applications for security cameras, with another 30 apps currently under development. The AI-enabled apps could be flexibly combined to allow customers and systems integrators to create custom solutions for specific applications and offer developers and solution providers the opportunity to monetise their solutions. The brand new platform is going to be highlighted in the Security and Safety Things booth #20060 at ISC West 2020, to become held 18-20 March in the Sands Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nev.
The applications in the Application Store, provided by third party developers, offer actionable insights and situational intelligence to facility and site managers, in addition to operators in a number of different verticals using AI and other sophisticated video analytics. These apps run on IP cameras using Security and Safety Things' open operating-system in line with the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). This open IoT platform harnessing both an application store as well as an open OS leverages the processing and analytic power of modern IP cameras and offers a plug-and-play approach.
“Our IoT ecosystem supplies a standardised platform for innovative applications that are built on advanced AI technology upon our open operating-system, which helps them to run on multiple camera brands,” said Hartmut Schaper, Chief Executive Officer, Safety and security Things. “The ecosystem is placed to inspire innovation and empower developers to quickly turn their ideas into items that create value in the security industry and beyond. At the same time, end users and systems integrators will benefit from both increased speed of innovation and the added flexibility of combining and adapting cameras and applications through the full lifecycle.”
More than 15 developers and their unique applications, including high-speed license plate recognition, privacy compliance solutions and drone threat detection, is going to be shown at the Security and Safety Things' booth, together with seven camera manufacturers exhibiting their open OS cameras running live third-party applications. The applying Store will be demonstrated using large, interactive displays to depict the ecosystem's deployment inside a marketplace setting.
Developers include CVEDIA and its app for drone threat detection and classification for use in airport or stadium settings. Neurala is going to be showcasing its app for object recognition and classification. Use cases include quality control and machine navigation.
Other applications displayed through the booth include queue detection in a snack kiosk demonstration and safety clothing detection at a mock construction site.
In accessory for the Application Store, Security and Safety Things' ecosystem provides a Device Management Portal for integrators, letting them manage their cameras and applications in addition to providing information about the plethora of innovative solutions available within the ecosystem. A tool Management Tool further permits the deployment of applications to offline cameras.
Also partnering with Safety and security Things on its booth may be the Open Security and Safety Alliance (OSSA). OSSA is really a standardisation initiative whose goal would be to bring together like-minded organisations, while creating a framework to supply standards and specifications for common components in the industry. Security and Safety Things is working closely with OSSA to determine an open industry standard platform and ecosystem.
