Smart security system designed and developed in Australia
Dr Rustom Kanga, Founder and CEO of iOmniscient, delivered a presentation to a joint institutions meeting in Sydney on the company’s patented technologies providing the world leading advanced Artificial Intelligence based Video Analysis systems. Its customers include China’s fast train system and range from city surveillance systems in Khazakstan to pipeline protection systems in Mexico; from airports in Abu Dhabi to museums in Sydney.
Dr Kanga explained that most large CCTV installations, there is no monitoring of the surveillance footage which is just recorded for action post-events. iOmniscient has developed Artificial Intelligence technology that allows the operator to be advised when an unusual event takes place (e.g. someone falling down on camera 20, someone abandoning a bag in a crowd on camera 200, a wanted person appearing on camera 600 and tracked on cameras 610 and 700).
The presentation included numerous examples of applications which are enabled by the patented technology including use in crowded places where it can identify individuals of interest. It can also be used for crowd counting and for traffic management.

iOmniscient won Sydney Division and national Engineering Excellence Awards in 2010 for the safety system used by some of China’s high speed trains.
iOmniscient has been adopted worldwide for sophisticated security systems: one is left wondering (again) why customers and in particular Australian government customers are not using this great technology more!!
