Bitmovin and Forsight bring high-quality video streaming to the forefront of enterprise security
It is imperative that construction and industrial companies maintain safe and secure job sites, and this can be achieved by implementing robust safety measures. Incidents can occur at any time, so constant monitoring is essential to maintain a secure work environment and to deter theft of valuable equipment. To effectively mitigate safety risks and security threats, investment in advanced technology is necessary, with high-quality video surveillance being the cornerstone of these systems.
Forsight revolutionizes industrial operations with its smart, dependable camera monitoring solutions. These cutting-edge solutions allow companies to keep a watchful eye on safety and security measures at any job site, in real time, from anywhere on the globe. A standout feature of Forsight’s product is its advanced object detection, done multiple times per second on Edge AI, swiftly detecting security risks and safety concerns. Forsight also requires seamless, synchronized playback from multiple live feeds, ensuring a comprehensive view of each site. With these requirements in mind, Forsight sought a partner that could provide improved stream quality along with ease of use.
Securing high-quality streams
Forsight requires many players to be running at the same time in a synchronized manner; achieving this with their previous player was complex and time-consuming. Furthermore, Forsight’s developer team required significant technical support in using the previous player for specific stream setups and achieving faster join times and reduced seek times.
When evaluating new vendors, Forsight was impressed by Bitmovin’s heritage of innovation in video streaming and found the Bitmovin Player to be the most advanced on the market that significantly outperformed other solutions. The Bitmovin Player is feature rich and comes with dedicated SDKs, empowering Forsight’s developers to easily deploy and customize it to suit their needs.
Delivering a seamless security experience.
After choosing the Bitmovin Player, Forsight’s developers were able to easily integrate it into their existing workflows using the reference code provided by Bitmovin. Once the Player was up and running, the Bitmovin team were on hand to advise on optimizing the streams, and helped Forsight to achieve better playback start times and seek use cases. Since then, Forsight has been able to add additional functionality to the Bitmovin Player that suits their specific use cases and ensures its camera monitoring solution delivers video footage in the best quality imaginable. As a testament to the quality of the Bitmovin Player, the usage of Forsight’s offering has increased over 100% since the collaboration began.
“Construction and industrial clients need to be able to monitor their job sites 24/7 to safeguard employees and equipment, which is challenging when there are often multiple locations scattered across different time zones,” said Ariel Applbaum, CEO of Forsight, “To ensure our customers can have peace of mind with our intelligent camera monitoring solutions, it’s essential that it is accompanied by high-quality video streams from multiple feeds and camera types to ensure employees, vehicles and potential thieves are instantly identifiable. The Bitmovin Player plays a central role in helping to keep our employees and job sites safe.”
