Now, let’s take a closer look at VALT with this video overview.

Project Overview

VALT is a video surveillance system that currently generates $9.7 million in revenue. It supports 2,500 IP cameras and serves 25,000 users daily across 650 organizations in the United States.

Key features of VALT include pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) capabilities, push-to-talk functionality, camera position presets, and scheduled recordings. Users can also add notes and time stamps, customize permissions, and export video transcriptions as PDF reports.

Motion detection function

The motion detection feature automatically triggers video recording. VALT also includes a word search function that makes it easy to find specific moments in a video. Simply type a word, and the system will highlight every instance where it was spoken.

In addition to traditional cameras, VALT allows users to connect smartphones and tablets as surveillance devices via its BEAM app.
