BriefCam, a developer and provider of Video Synopsis systems for reviewing, analyzing and indexing of surveillance camera content, was awarded the IFSEC Security Industry Award 2010. BriefCam won against five other contenders in the category of "CCTV System Product of the Year".

Video Synopsis is BriefCam's major innovation, a proprietary image-processing technology that creates synopses of original full-length surveillance videos. BriefCam provides a complete representation of all events occurring during hours of video footage in a condensed clip as short as a few minutes in length.
The synopsis is made possible by simultaneously presenting multiple objects and activities that have occurred at different times. Video Synopsis enables the rapid review and indexing of captured video footage -- with an index to the original source video; live video feed online and archival video footage offline -- for on-the-spot event tracking, forensic investigation and evidence discovery.

In his speech at the dinner, James Kelly, chief executive of the British Security Industry Association, said: "All of the winners are to be congratulated on their achievements and should be justly proud of the contribution that they are making to our industry." Widely regarded as the industry's premier event, the IFSEC Security Industry Awards is both a celebration and an acknowledgement of excellence of the products and technological innovations influencing and shaping the industry and security professionals. The IFSEC Security Industry Awards black-tie gala dinner is considered the social event for the entire industry.
