Company to Accelerate Global Expansion and Artificial Intelligence Investment for its Cloud Video Surveillance Platform<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

AUSTIN, TX <\/strong>\u2013 Eagle Eye Networks, the global leader in cloud video surveillance, has raised $40 million of Series E funding from venture capital firm Accel (Facebook, Spotify, DocuSign) to continue its growth and expand its technology leadership. Eagle Eye is leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) on its true cloud platform to dramatically reshape video surveillance and improve safety, security, operations, and customer service for businesses around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today\u2019s video surveillance systems have multiple security features, such as motion detection and standard analytics. However, these systems require either monotonous monitoring or a meticulous manual review after each triggered event to extract useful information. Similarly, business operations analytics are still in early development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere is a tremendous opportunity to leverage AI and alter the very nature of video surveillance,\u201d said Dean Drako, Founder and CEO of Eagle Eye Networks. \u201cEagle Eye Networks now has the means and the technology to enable cloud video surveillance to transform how companies manage security and business operations, in the same way self-driving and electric cars are transforming transportation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUltimately, smart cloud video surveillance with appropriate privacy and cybersecurity protections will make business and communities much safer, for example: detecting dangers such as weapons, erratic driving, active robberies, and traffic accidents. Furthermore,\u201d continued Drako, \u201cbusinesses will analyze their customer service and retail operations to provide a significantly better customer experience, and manufacturers will provide higher quality products, in a safer and more timely manner with video AI.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sameer Gandhi, Partner at Accel  added, \u201cEagle Eye Networks pioneered the video surveillance industry\u2019s move to the cloud, and AI applications will drive the industry\u2019s next transformation. Eagle Eye is in the pole position to make this happen. Its true cloud technology puts Eagle Eye in a unique position to instantly deploy new analytics breakthroughs. Dean Drako\u2019s track record, proven with Eagle Eye and previously as founder of  Barracuda Networks, speaks for itself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn more than two decades in the video surveillance industry, I have heard people talk about revolutionizing the market and taking it to the next level, but only Eagle Eye Networks has truly delivered on that promise,\u201d added John E. Mack III, Executive Vice President, Co-Head of Investment Banking at Imperial Capital. \u201cWhile Eagle Eye Networks vision as the first cloud native solution was compelling previously, the changes 2020 brought about through business disruption related to COVID-19 make Eagle Eye\u2019s products and services even more desirable. Eagle Eye\u2019s focus on the customer and commitment to innovation create a foundation that makes its cloud and AI enhanced offerings for video surveillance a focus for security specific executives and the C-suite alike.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
