Archerfish intelligent video monitoring

The book 1984 was prescient in its anticipation of a society where everything and everyone was on camera. The book’s dystopian view left this capability in the hands of the government, with “big brother” watching you wherever you are.

Thanks to Archerfish, you can be the “big brother” in your own life with its concept of mobile video intelligence. The basic concept is this:

• Set up video cameras in the places you wish to monitor (your home, front porch, business, etc.).
• Intelligent software processes the video and looks for patterns or changes (such as a person entering the scene).
• It then notifies you, sending a message and even video to your mobile device.

Applications include finding out when your kids get home, watching for deliveries, general security and otherwise keeping an eye on anything you want to keep an eye on without having to constantly watch the video yourself.
