ATLANTA, April 9, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Honeywell
(NYSE: HON) today announced a first-of-its-kind technology
integration with Intel that will enable new artificial intelligence
(AI) capabilities in its MAXPRO® connected security
platform. The new security platform, which will support MAXPRO
Network Video Recorders (NVR) and Video Management Systems (VMS),
will incorporate Intel® Vision products that enable
advanced analytics, deep learning and facial recognition
capabilities. These greatly enhanced security solutions will drive
cost and time savings by significantly reducing false alarms and
will meet compliance requirements such as General Data Protection
Regulation (GDPR) through identity anonymization.

"Ensuring the security of commercial buildings and the safety of
those within them has always been Honeywell's top priority," said
Pete Lau, President, Commercial
Security, Honeywell. "With emerging technology like analytics,
facial recognition and deep learning, Honeywell and Intel are
connecting buildings and protecting people like never before."
Advances in security and surveillance technology have increased
demand for high-definition video and imaging offered by Internet
Protocol (IP) cameras. The video surveillance global market is
estimated to exceed $68 billion by
2023. At the same time, the technology to properly process the
surge in vision data has lagged. End users require a solution that
combines both building security and IT systems to address the
challenge.
The integration of Intel Vision Products into the Honeywell
MAXPRO NVR and VMS products will result in solutions that enhance
site security and operator productivity. These integrated,
customizable products will accelerate the processing time of each
video stream and increase the number of cameras that can stream in
real time through a single device. The adoption of
Intel® Vision Accelerator Design products will provide
Honeywell's security offerings with advanced AI capabilities with
computational efficiency, allowing them to analyze video data with
improved detection accuracy.
"With rapid advances in AI technology fueled by the
influx of enormous amounts of visual data, our customers are
presented with powerful new opportunities in multiple areas
including edge video analytics and security," said Jonathan Ballon, Vice President, Intel Internet
of Things Group. "The Honeywell MAXPRO solution, powered by
Intel Vision Products, allows customers to process and analyze
visual data in near real-time to make decisions faster, drive
faster time to results and help ensure secure buildings, campus
environments and banking institutions."
Beyond the software and hardware integrations, the partnership
will also leverage the Intel® Distribution of
OpenVINO™ toolkit, which fast tracks the development of
computer vision and deep learning inference into vision
applications. Through the toolkit, end users can accelerate
computer vision performance, shorten vision solution development,
and streamline deep learning inference and deployment.
The toolkit's deep learning capabilities will support
Honeywell's Face Recognition analytics, providing another layer of
detail in the software that allows it to learn faces of known
entities in an organization. The software is also capable of
removing face recognition data it doesn't recognize in compliance
with GDPR requirements.
Honeywell will join the Intel IoT Solutions Alliance (ISA) and
participate in Intel IoT RFP Ready Kits. A global organization
comprised of more than 250 technology companies, ISA is dedicated
to the development of scalable IoT and machine internet solutions.
Intel IoT RFP Ready Kits are focused technology offerings that
solve a class of market problems, have been deployed and tested in
the field, and provide bundled hardware, software and support. The
technology is designed to grow with customer requirements.
Honeywell MAXPRO and Face Recognition are among a suite of
vision security solutions alongside Xtralis LoiterTrace, an image
analysis tool that identifies and tracks suspicious activity, and
Xtralis IntrusionTrace, a video analytics program for real-time
intrusion detection. The solutions suite is ideal for high traffic,
sensitive environments including enterprise campuses,
pharmaceutical companies, and banking and financial
institutions.
