Favorite Video Analytics 2016

Author: John Honovich, Published on Feb 22, 2016

Video analytics are security professional's choice for the next big thing.

Despite that, our Video Analytics Market Guide and Favorites 2014 showed that adoption was still poor and only one vendor had significant support.

Now, in our 2016 guide, 150 integrators told us who their favorite analytics were and what they were using.

Inside this report, we examine integrator's choices and share color commentary on why integrators choose what they did.
