BAY CITY, Mich. — DICE Corp. announces a new video and IoT analytics partner program to provide central stations and integrators with the option to combine AI-enabled analytics technologies with the company’s interactive and video services in Matrix Interactive.
Matrix Interactive is a Cloud-based event management software with interactive video, analytics and artificial intelligence. The Matrix engine uses several third-party technologies embedded into the platform. Configuration of areas of interest is done in Matrix to add flexibility such as scheduling to the partner’s analytics, according to the announcement.
Matrix Interactive is an open and generic platform. DICE partners can integrate the software with other company’s analytics, allowing monitoring stations and command centers to add new levels of security, as well as advanced interactive and video services.
“Actually, we have hundreds of technology partners and many thousands of products that interface with Matrix,” explains Avi Lupo, co-president of DICE Corp. “The world is changing, and it is essential to have an open platform that supports any technology partner and not through APIs, which is limiting.”
The DICE open platform opens the gateway into central stations and command centers with the ability to provide new interactive video monitoring services, the announcement states. For integrators, this means there is no need to change the analytic company they are currently using to take advantage of these new services, but instead have the flexibility to pick and choose, and even add other analytic technologies from a variety of partners.
“With Matrix Interactive, the industry is not limited in choosing an analytic technology today,” says Lupo. “We are choosing our partners carefully. The integration with the high-end analytics from our premium partners provides new benefits and resources designed to bring more options to our growing Matrix Interactive ecosystem as the security industry races to keep pace with what we call the ‘new alarm industry.’”
The event flow of video and IoT devices takes advantage of both Matrix Interactive and each partner’s unique analytic technology. IP cameras and devices are easily configured within Matrix Interactive. Upon an event, the event is first sent to DICE’s server Cloud, Gate Keeper, which eliminates the amount of traffic to the partners.
The pertinent events are then sent to the appropriate partner, which then analyzes the event in real time and then sends back the verified alarm to Matrix to then send to the central station operator. Matrix Interactive utilizes an event system flow like an alarm system, using virtual video zones. Subscribers can even arm and disarm the video zone.
The growing list of video and IoT analytic premium partners includes Actuate, Calipsa, Cawamo, Corsight, IronYun, M2M, Rhombs, Sentry AI and Speco.
