Ella brings smart searching to home security cameras

Her name is Ella and she promises to bring smart searching to your home security cameras. Ella is an AI-powered search engine, developed by IC Realtime, that augments residential and commercial surveillance systems with natural language search capabilities. The average continuously recording security camera captures less than two minutes of noteworthy footage in a 24-hour period, IC Realtime CEO Matt Sailor said during an embargoed briefing last week. Scrubbing through a day's worth of video just to retrieve that data is a tedious time-suck. Even with the time- and date-sorting parameters typically offered by most consumer cameras, reviewing video can be arduous.
