ObjectVideo signs OEM partnership with Dowshu

Dowshu's 32- and 64-channel digital video recorders will feature ObjectVideo OnBoard video analytics. ObjectVideo OnBoard technology is expected to enable Dowshu to increase the value and effectiveness of its solutions by embedding video analytics into a wide variety of devices, including Dowshu's Intelligent DVRs. ObjectVideo claims that the new product set will allow Dowshu DVRs to automate many day-to-day tasks, eliminating the need for constant camera monitoring by security staff. Users will now be able to gather business intelligence in retail and other sectors and be alerted to potential hazards or threats in secure areas. Brian Eckert, vice president of sales and marketing at ObjectVideo, said: "Dowshu's reach into retail, commercial, industrial and public/civil markets in the UK and Ireland is incredibly strong. Enhancing its robust DVR series with ObjectVideo technology provides them a market leading offering. By partnering with Dowshu, we are reinforcing our worldwide leadership in intelligent video solutions."
