Envysion provides a web-based video management service that enables organizations with multiple locations to use remote video to improve performance and profitability. Envysion Video is an enterprise-level solution that transforms traditional surveillance video into a strategic management tool that enables increases in efficiency, quality, brand consistency and the bottom line.
Envysion Video solves two main problems. The first is how to make video of multiple locations accessible to people throughout an organization. Envysion Video allows authorized users to view, search and share live and recorded video of any number of locations via a single password-protected web interface. Users can watch, analyze and improve whatever aspect of the organization they are involved with, whether it is security and loss prevention, operations, marketing, training or human resources.
The second is how to enable users to quickly find specific video. By integrating video with a customer’s point of sale (POS) or other event-based business data, Envysion enables users to click on events in a report (such as "voids" or sales of a certain product) and immediately see the associated video. Users can also create custom reports and receive automatic alerts when business rules that they define have been broken.
