Arteco Vision Systems (AVS), subsidiary of Italian-based Arteco SpA, recently launched the first English version of their popular European intelligent digital video surveillance system. The company was founded in St. Louis, MO to coincide with the May 2005 product launch and is currently in the selection process for exclusive dealer/integrator agreements.
With nearly 20 years of experience in the field of command and control systems for automation, Arteco is an industry leader in intelligent video surveillance in the European market. The System uses a proprietary algorithm to identify anomalies within a digital image such as movement or temperature change within a controlled space. This powerful analysis allows the system to count and recognize objects, people and situations. Historically, video surveillance has been used to help identify suspects after a violation has occurred. Arteco’s intelligent surveillance works to pre-empt the violation through applications that alert the security staff to suspicious or erratic behavior such as unauthorized entry, an abandoned object, a removed object, lingering person, and vehicle moving violations.
The SPY-BOX system dramatically reduces human error caused by fatigue or boredom that results from monitoring many video screens over long hours by alerting security personnel only when a violation is occurring. The product has been successfully implemented to protect national monuments, museum artifacts, highway safety, and hospital patients in the European Union.
“We believe the world is a different place than it was five years ago, potential threats have become more sophisticated and our products continue to evolve to meet this sophistication,” said Giorgio Bucci, Arteco Vision Systems’ President.
“We are currently in negotiations with several integrators interested in adding the SPY-SYSTEM to enhance their product-line with a proven intelligent surveillance solution.”
