Envysion regularly visits our customers, providing training and receiving feedback about how to improve Envysion video. A new customer of Envysion Insight last week had a great story to share. An area manager had just explained to his employees the full system capabilities and how they will be used. One of his stores saw immediate [...]

Based on the underwhelming response, one may be tempted to conclude that there aren’t any. Just upside opportunity, right? In an attempt to start a dialogue on this, let me share [...]
Image via Wikipedia I was reminded today of the number of applications and the massive numbers of downloads of iPhone applications out there. As of this writing nearly 1 billion downloads of iPhone apps have occurred. That sure is a lot. It also reminds me of a great quote from Sci-Fi author Kurt Vonnegut: “It [...]

Remember those images where if you “defocus” your eyes just right you can see a 3D image jumping out at you on the page? These “stereograms” A new imaging chip from Stanford University uses a similar principle to capture an image which includes depth information. It sounds like they are looking at digital photography, but [...]
I’ll caveat this by stating the Today Show is not my top source for hard hitting news. However, they featured a news story this morning that illustrated the power of video surveillance in a residential setting. Would it be possible for these guys to plead not guilty?
