Yesterday Rob Hagens and I attended the Colorado Inventor Showcase where we exhibited and were up for an award. We did not win but it was interesting to see all of the inventions that were present. The exhibits ranged from a smart toilet seat/lid that automatically closes to a very cool wind turbine for home [...]
The discussion around “Should You Use Software-Only Video Management Systems” at ipmarketvideo.info got me thinking about a feature we’ve been talking about over here at Envysion for a couple of years now, the “Downloadable NVR”.
A downloadable NVR appliance may offer a valuable mix of “software only” and appliance hardware. Given the number of software appliances [...]

The DARPA project called VIRAT is a relatively new project for a video analytics search engine. This type of research could very well lead to video [...]
The day is finally upon us. What seemed to be one of the longest campaigns in recent memory comes down to the wire as our nation decides the next leader of the free world.
Last evening, NBC aired a prime time SNL special featuring campaign skits from the past several years. One skit featured Obama dressed as [...]
We just recently (Oct 30) pushed a new feature of Envysion Video — online trouble ticketing support. There is now a link on our page that allows a user to automatically generate a trouble ticket into our Network Operations Center.
It’s always interesting to develop a feature like this. The most difficult decision was to decide [...]
