The Challenge
When this client came to Proficio, they were already housing their webcam data in Amazon Web Services (AWS). Cloud security was a priority, so they needed to have around the clock protection to ensure their data was secure but didn’t have the resources to monitor their networks 24/7 while also managing a cloud infrastructure, which is often time consuming and overwhelming for a security team. This posed the issue of acquiring additional support to leverage these security controls and maximize the value of their AWS setup for the company.
About The Customer
Popular home automation company provides solutions to create smarter – and safer – homes for their customers through wireless surveillance cameras, doorbells, and lighting. Being a market leader in the smart home IoT category, their focus on product designs, wireless connectivity, radio frequency (RF) engineering, cloud infrastructure, and Al-capabilities has set them apart from their competitors. Releasing their first security camera in 2014, they have shipped over 7.5 million devices and have over 1.9 million registered users. Being responsible for protecting millions across the globe they prioritize privacy and innovation to better protect their customers.
The Solution
They used AWS Cloudtrail, VPC Flow, and AWS Guard Duty to provide seamless control over their video storage and security. The cloud allowed them to reduce and mitigate risk, while also removing the requirements for on-premises data centers; however, they needed a partner to enable continuous monitoring of security events. With a quick on-boarding, this client took advantage of Proficio’s AWS-specific use cases to catch suspicious activity in real-time, which keeps their data – and their customers videos – secure.

Improving Vending Machine Profitability with the Internet of Things (IoT)
The vending industry is undergoing a sea change, taking advantage of new technologies to go beyond just delivering snacks to creating a new retail location. Intelligent vending machines can be found in many public locations as well as company facilities, selling different types of goods and services, including even computer accessories, gold bars, tickets, and office supplies. With increasing sophistication, they may also provide time- and location-based data pertaining to sales, inventory, and customer preferences. But at the end of the day, vending machine operators know greater profitability is driven by higher sales and lower operating costs.

Smart City Public Safety
Amyx+ worked with a local government authority to develop an Internet of Things-enabled public safety strategy. In the current state, vigilance meant manually scanning through potentially hundreds of analog surveillance videos feeds. Manual, costly and ineffective, the local agency desired to transition from analog to digital CCTV, apply computer vision and other technologies to automatically detect potential crime in progress, expedite and streamline emergency calls and integrate with personal wearables to ensure the safety of their citizens.
