Kipod Cluster

Synes company, the resident Skolkovo specializing in the field of video analytics announced in November, 2014 a new product — Kipod Cluster for ensuring physical security and corporate management. The cluster server allows the organizations to cut down expenses on monitoring of objects and to carry out operational improvement due to scalable implementation of video analytics, reported CNews in Synes.

For problems of physical security of the video analyst of Kipod Cluster implements quick search in archive on an object type (the person, the machine, the person, number of the car) and to behavior type (the movement, a stop) in the set area of a frame and also will automatically recognize such emergency situations as accumulation of people, the fire, loitering of people in time off.

For tasks of management of the Kipod Cluster organization creates photo albums and reports on events in the place of business process. For example, in shop, on a building or oil and gas well pad. "The convenient web interface and the web focused API allow to expand a circle of users of Kipod Cluster beyond the scope of problems of security — Nikolay Ptitsyn, the CEO of Synes told. — The video analytics becomes a source of objective data for owners and heads of business, control services of quality and work with personnel. Any employee of the organization without the software installation, even on a low-speed communication channel can work with the application. It is as simple to send the link to any moment of video as any plot on YouTube".

The computing cluster allows telecom operators to build cloud services of video analytics. "The cloud computing architecture is a basis for scaling of a system of video analytics in 'The safe city' and large retail — Kirill Skudnev, the adviser to the deputy CEO of MGTS noted. — The video analytics is the resource-intensive service requiring effective balancing of loading between computers of a computing cluster. The cloud computing architecture increases fault tolerance of a system and reduces operating costs of the operator of service".

The Kipod Cluster servers can be installed or on a centralized basis in data center, or is distributed — on remote objects of the enterprise. Processing of video is made on the virtualized or selected computing resources. At any Kipod Cluster configurations provides centralized operation and monitoring of all hardware-software a system component.

With the cluster Kipod Cluster server the web application of the dispatching center Kipod Station, mobile application of Kipod Mobile and a workplace of security service of Kipod Desktop which are also developed by Synes are integrated.
