The solution is designed to enhance traditional security video feeds by correlating RF signals with video images.
"From our standpoint, the RF-video correlation offering is a unique and powerful tool to help businesses identify persons of interest and to improve security and safety," commented Frank Hallett, Locality Systems' CTO. "We believe this solution is breaking new ground, and we will continue to innovate with the additional sensor fusion Inpixon(INPX) has planned."
