Flir FX Security Camera Turns Hours of Footage into Shorter Clips
Traditional home security cameras are valuable, but they also yield hour after hour of footage owners have to wade through when they're looking for specific information. Oregon-based Flir says it has the solution to that problem. Its new FX Wi-Fi camera uses intelligent motion tracking to create a simultaneous replay of everything it has captured throughout the day so that users can easily review that footage in just minutes.
Flir makes professional-grade thermal and other imaging products, but has recently been focusing on developing consumer-level products, such as its Flir One smartphone accessory.
The Flir FX uses server-side image processing technology called RapidRecap to generate a summary of what its camera has recorded throughout the day. The summary combines all of the day’s automatically-detected activity into a much shorter clip, or several clips if a lot of activity has been recorded. Everything includes overlaid time stamps showing when each event occurred.
