Video AI on the Edge

 









Equitus Video Sentinel (EVS) is an intelligent, edge-native video analytics platform designed to convert existing camera networks into real-time threat-detection systems.

EVS executes high-performance deep learning analytics at the edge without needing cloud connectivity or discrete GPUs , by Operating fully on-premises using IBM infrastructure (running natively on IBM Power10/11 servers with Matrix Math Accelerator technology),

Technical Core: Why On-Prem & IBM Compatibility Matters

  • Zero Cloud Dependency: Raw video feeds and generated metadata never leave the secure local network, eliminating bandwidth bottlenecks and exposure to cloud breach risks.


  • GPU-Free AI Execution: By leveraging native IBM Power MMA (Matrix Math Accelerator) processing, EVS delivers real-time computer vision without relying on costly, high-power GPU clusters.


  • Edge & Hybrid Scalability: Native support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and OpenShift allows EVS to deploy flexibly across single edge sites, air-gapped field posts, or distributed enterprise servers.


  • Legacy Compatibility: Ingests both digital and analog video streams, supercharging existing CCTV investments rather than requiring hardware overhauls.


Utility for Military & Defense Enterprises


+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|                         MILITARY & DEFENSE USE                          |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Air-Gapped Operation  --> Works in SCIFs, forward bases & zero-cloud    |
| Operational Speed     --> <60s alert delivery on perimeter breaches     |
| Forensic Indexing     --> Auto-indexes frames into searchable metadata  |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+


  1. Air-Gapped & Mission-Critical Security: Defense operations (such as SCIFs, border checkpoints, forward operating bases, and tactical command centers) cannot risk streaming surveillance data over public clouds. EVS maintains 100% data sovereignty on-prem.

  2. Perimeter Threat Detection: Automated computer vision flags anomalies—such as unauthorized personnel entering restricted areas, loitering, abandoned packages, or vehicle intrusions—with sub-minute alert delivery times.

  3. Forensic Video Retrieval: Automatically indexes every frame with metadata (size, color, motion behavior), turning thousands of hours of passive video into searchable battlefield intelligence in seconds.

  4. Force Multiplier for Security Operators: Increases coverage density to over 50 cameras per operator (compared to the industry baseline of 9–16), allowing smaller security detachments to monitor wider perimeters 24/7 without cognitive fatigue.



Utility for Commercial Enterprises & Critical Infrastructure

Commercial sectors—including energy grids, manufacturing, transportation hubs, healthcare systems, and smart cities—gain distinct operational and compliance advantages:


1. Regulatory Compliance Out-of-the-Box

EVS is architected to satisfy strict regulatory and audit mandates that forbid third-party data transmission, including:


  • NERC CIP (Power Grid & Energy Infrastructure)

  • CJIS (Law Enforcement & Criminal Justice Information)

  • CFATS (Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards)

  • HIPAA (Healthcare Facilities)


2. Operational Cost Reduction


  • 90% Reduction in False Alarms: Filters out environmental noise (weather, shadow movements, animals) to ensure security personnel respond only to genuine incidents.

  • Infrastructure Capital Savings: Eliminates the capital expenditure of buying expensive discrete GPUs and avoids continuous cloud bandwidth and storage egress fees.


3. Asset Protection & Safety


Monitors industrial floors and logistics centers for safety hazards, unauthorized equipment access, inventory removal, and facility protocol violations in real time.
