Eagle Eye Networks — the global leader in cloud video surveillance — has raised $40 million of Series E funding from Accel to continue its growth and expand its technology leadership. And Eagle Eye is utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) on its true cloud platform to dramatically reshape video surveillance and improve safety, security, operations, and customer service for businesses around the world.
The video surveillance systems of today typically have multiple security features like motion detection and standard analytics. And these systems require either monotonous monitoring or a meticulous manual review after each triggered event to extract useful information. Plus business operations analytics are still in early development.
The Eagle Eye Cloud Video Management System (VMS) is a smart cloud video surveillance solution, purpose-built to help businesses improve safety, security, operations, and customer service while saving money. And tens of thousands of companies in more than 90 countries around the globe have moved their video surveillance to the cloud with Eagle Eye VMS. Customers such as multi-family residences, smart cities, schools, hospitals, hotels, logistics, restaurants, and retail shops depend on Eagle Eye for actionable business intelligence and proactive security.
Eagle Eye Cloud VMS offers comprehensive central management, cloud reliability and redundancy, cost savings, and an open API video platform that provides a number of third-party integrations. And customers tap into Eagle Eye’s cyber-secure design and extensive video encryption to protect their data and privacy. The Eagle Eye Cloud VMS works with thousands of industry cameras and it does not require customers to “rip and replace” their existing infrastructure.
Eagle Eye Networks — together with its partner Brivo — provide a seamless solution for cloud video surveillance and facility access control. And Brivo is the worldwide leader in cloud facility access control. The Eagle Eye API allows for seamless integration with partners like Brivo and others making Eagle Eye Cloud VMS the only platform robust enough to power the future of video surveillance.
