Agent Video Intelligence (Agent Vi™), the leading global provider of video analytics solutions, and Huawei, a leading global information and communications technology (ICT) solutions provider, announced today the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding for the establishment of a new partnership between the companies. The two companies will join forces on the development and marketing of innovative video cloud solutions for the Safe City market. The MOU signing ceremony was held at the Interpol exhibition in Singapore, as part of Huawei’s Collaborative Public Safety Forum event.

Mr. Itsik Kattan, Agent Vi’s CEO, commented that “The partnership between Agent Vi and Huawei will combine our respective expertise to jointly create solutions for safer and smarter cities. Through this cooperation, municipal customers will be able to access the most innovative and advanced technologies, allowing them to better serve and protect their citizens.”

Commenting on the cooperation with Agent Vi, Fan Siyong, President of Huawei’s Public Sector, said: “Huawei is delighted to partner with Agent Vi to innovate in the area of video cloud. Leveraging industry-leading ICT solutions and an ever-growing collaborative public safety ecosystem, Huawei, together with Agent Vi, aims to enable the public safety industry to respond quickly and accurately to safety threats, ensuring social stability for all.”

Earlier this year, Agent Vi announced the launch of innoVi for Smart Cities, a comprehensive cloud-based video analytics Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), targeted at municipalities and cities. Employing Deep Learning algorithms that continuously monitor video feeds captured by the city’s surveillance cameras, innoVi for Smart Cities transforms the enormous number of cameras deployed across cities into smart IoT devices that become the core of the city’s ability to improve security, safety, and incident response city-wide. innoVi empowers authorities to uncover otherwise hidden incidents, insights and information, and allows true leveraging of the municipal surveillance infrastructure.
