Kipod has a built-in engine for behavior recognition,
face recognition, number plate reading and audio
recognition. All search queries can be executed
across thousands of computers within a private
cloud using a web browser or mobile app. No bulky
desktop application is required.

1st generation – local control room in each location. Very
expensive staffing, difficult to ensure monitoring standards (response time, protocols etc).
2nd generation – centralized control room for multiple
locations. Much more efficient, but cannot be scaled to
serve large cities and large number of users.
3rd generation – virtual control room for multiple locations.
Authorized users from local government, police, intelligence agencies can connect from anywhere to monitor
locations of interest or search for events in video. Kipod
fits this category by providing access to searchable video
to thousands of users.
