About

About Cognitec Cognitec is the only company worldwide that has worked exclusively on face recognition technology since its inception in 2002. With business locations in Dresden, Boston and Sydney, the company is proud to maintain a market-leading position as a reliable, experienced provider of biometric technologies. Cognitec’s portfolio includes products for facial image database search, recorded video investigation, real-time video screening and people analytics, border control, and biometric photo capture. Cognitec’s FaceVACS-VideoScan solution delivers intelligent face recognition technology, sending watch list alerts and visitor notifications within seconds. The technology detects and extracts people’s faces in live video streams or video footage, stores video snippets for each appearance, and constantly compares them to each other and to images in databases. In addition, the software uses anonymous facial analysis to count individuals, generate demographical information, track people movement in time and space, detect frequent visitors and crowds, and much more. It works with a number of industry-leading HD video cameras, and includes the REST API for easy integration into other video technologies.
