IBM / EVS / YOLO





EVS Deep Integration with the IBM POWER11 Ecosystem


 



Equitus as an IBM ISV, Equitus leverages IBM Power Systems (including IBM Power10 and Power11 architectures and AI hardware accelerators like Spyre) to run intensive neural network models directly at the point of ingestion.

EVS can also link visual insights into Equitus's broader Knowledge Graph Neural Network (KGNN), allowing video analytics to be correlated with unstructured text, open-source intelligence (OSINT), and sensor data for holistic situational awareness.


Equitus Video Sentinel (EVS) is a tactical imagery intelligence and intelligent video analytics platform built by Equitus, an IBM Independent Software Vendor (ISV). Originally engineered out of defense and combat operations, EVS converts raw visual data into structured, actionable intelligence across defense, public safety, transportation, and critical infrastructure environments.


EVS delivers value through several core technical capabilities and operational benefits:

  • Real-Time Automated Threat Detection: EVS continuously monitors live camera feeds to automatically detect perimeter intrusions, loitering, item removal, unauthorized access, and behavioral anomalies without requiring constant human oversight.

  • Object & Behavior Classification: The platform classifies objects, vehicles, and individuals across varied visual conditions, extracting rich metadata such as movement behavior, color, size, and motion trajectories.

  • Tactical Forensic Search: Instead of manually reviewing hours of footage, operators can perform metadata-based video archive searches—filtering by specific attributes (e.g., clothing color, vehicle type, direction of travel) to generate leads in seconds.

  • Edge & On-Premises Compute (Zero-Cloud Reliance): Built to run natively on edge infrastructure (such as IBM Power hardware), EVS provides real-time inference in tactical, low-bandwidth, or disconnected environments where cloud-based video analytics are unfeasible or pose security risks.

  • Interoperability & VMS Integration: EVS integrates directly with existing Video Management Systems (VMS) and standard camera networks, turning legacy video installations into AI-driven surveillance networks without needing to replace existing hardware investments.
