What is video analytics?
The global video analytics market was valued at $2.77 billion in 2017. Estimated to increase to a staggering $8.55 billion by 2023.
The analytics work on two levels - motion detection and pattern recognition.
- Motion - examines each pixel, detecting every movement
- Pattern - identify and monitor objects, recognizing objects that have moved, gone, or are new
Video analysis tools allow businesses to monitor in real-time and find inconsistencies in videos. The technology is used in many sectors, including…
- Identify 100% of visual mentions - your logo in videos - boy, oh boy!
- Competitive intelligence - compare the effectiveness of your video campaigns
- Find strategic business insights and drive conversions, increase engagement
- Helps determine and spend video marketing budget effectively
- Pull out audience insights - demographics, interests social activity
- Exploit visual user-generated content (UGC), both positive and negative
- Prove the ROI of sponsorships - sports events, concerts, conferences, etc.
- Protect your brand’s reputation - find fake brands, logo abuse, counterfeit merchandise
- Find and monitor influencers - unplanned influencer-generated content (IGC) is a big win
Security & banking
- License plate recognition
- Object identification
- Facial recognition
- Object detection
- Perimeter intrusion detection
Retail
- Count footfall with heatmaps
- Entrance path analytics
- Traffic cycles across day, week, year
- Visit duration/frequency
- Unique/passing traffic
- Display effectiveness
Video analytics pulls data from videos. This data is then used to trigger actions - contact security, start recording/counting, send trademark abuse alert, capitalize on user-generated content, etc.

It will play a fundamental role in digital marketing. Finally, we have 100% control over brand mentions in text, images, AND videos.
GREAT BALLS OF FIRE!

Prove the value of sponsorships
Until… well, last week… there was a distinct lack of video analytics tools that could track and measure the ROI generated from sponsorships. In 2017, 40% of sponsorship professionals said that evaluating sponsors was one of their top two challenges.
We’re talking about sponsorship spending that amounts to a whopping $50 billion plus per year!!!
That’s crazy, guys. If you can’t prove ROI, you could be throwing good money after bad.
Your brand is sponsoring a hugely important soccer game. It’s down to the last couple of minutes and it looks like there’s going to be a stupendous, deciding goal. En masse, the crowd raises their smartphones.
Yesssss!
Caught on video. Shared on social media. Found by video recognition.
