Aimetis Symphony™ Wins Frost & Sullivan Global Video Analytics Product of the Year Award

Global Video Analytics Product of the Year is actually a bit of a misnomer. The award is really for the unique combination of video management and video analytics that Aimetis Symphony™ offers. That, in addition to the accuracy of the analytic algorithms and its proven use in the field is what clinched the award.
