Description
Viisights develops behavioral video analytics powered by artificial intelligence. One of their products, Wise, is designed to analyze real-time video feeds to detect and interpret human behaviors. Viisights has been reportedly used in monitoring refugees in Greece as part of the EU-funded Centaur surveillance system. This system, which includes tools from other Israeli companies, has been criticized for creating "prison-like" conditions for refugees. The refugee camps, such as the one on the island of Samos, have been described as "testing grounds" for surveillance technologies later deployed elsewhere in Europe. Viisights' behavioral video analytics are also used by Israel's Ministry of Public Security and in smart city initiatives, such as in the city of Eilat, to detect and analyze events in real-time. The company's Wise platform has been integrated with Cognyte's Symphia solutions, to improve the capabilities of both systems for behavioral video recognition. Cognyte is a prominent Israeli vendor of surveillance products.
