An active shooter is on the loose. An airport checkpoint<br />
has just been breached. Police are frantically searching<br />
for a lost child amid a crowded location. A suspicious<br />
bag is left behind in a busy transit station. In each <strong>of</strong><br />
these situations, time is <strong>of</strong> the essence. Surveillance video<br />
can provide clues to finding a suspect, but will you<br />
be able to pinpoint the exact video you need in time?<br />
Here’s where NICE Suspect Search can help. Suspect<br />
Search is a patent-pending video analytics technology<br />
that helps you quickly locate and retrace the movements<br />
<strong>of</strong> a person <strong>of</strong> interest within a video surveillance network.<br />
It can scan an hour <strong>of</strong> video in less than a minute,<br />
automatically filtering out 95 percent <strong>of</strong> irrelevant images.<br />
Suspect searches can be initiated using a recorded<br />
image, an uploaded full body photo, or a suspect composite.<br />
As the search reveals snapshots <strong>of</strong> the suspect<br />
56<br />
over time across different cameras, it evolves into a<br />
history <strong>of</strong> their movements before and potentially after<br />
the incident. Timely situational awareness is critical so<br />
snapshots are presented on an actual map. This answers<br />
questions like how did the suspect get here? Where did<br />
he go? Did he meet up with anyone or was he alone?<br />
And is he still on premise? Suspect Search revolutionizes<br />
video forensics, both for real-time use and for after-thefact<br />
investigations. <strong>Digital</strong>ly stamped images, video, and<br />
location information associated with each search can<br />
easily be shared with police departments and district<br />
attorneys for forensic investigations.
