VideoIQ offers an electronic guarding system called SmartGuard that aims to improve security and reduce costs in Africa. SmartGuard uses video analytics to detect people and vehicles, instantly alerting the user to threats. It is designed as an all-in-one security camera system that does not require additional hardware, bandwidth, software, licenses or servers. SmartGuard analyzes video directly on the camera unit to reduce false alarms and can be remotely accessed to control devices and communicate via audio. The system provides a lower-cost alternative to hiring security guards.
