Envysion of Louisville, Colo., has broadened its managed offerings to include Web-based video collaboration features that corporations can use to make video clips available to selected viewers.

"With this video collaboration, you could make clips available for training, for instance," says Matt Steinfort, president and CEO of the firm, which was founded in 2006 and has about 40 customers. The new service offers a YouTube-like experience, except that videos can be restricted to user groups by defining corporate roles, he says.

Envysion also announced that it achieved Payment Card Industry compliance this month after PCI-qualified security assessor Verizon conducted a four-month review of its facilities, including its Denver-based data center. "We had to change some of the ways we delivered our service by using some data-security protocols," Steinfort says.

Envysion's flagship managed video service includes the installation of surveillance cameras in such businesses as retail stores. Envysion handles the video networking, and content is made available to authorized customer personnel via Web-based delivery.

Envysion works to detect theft by correlating sales data generated electronically through cash registers and bar-coding with video-surveillance recordings of activity.

"Cashiers, for instance, sometimes use different transaction types to get cash through things like fake refunds," Steinfort says. Envysion's exception-based reporting, programmed around business rules, can provide video related to suspected theft events.

Envysion's service starts at $160 per month.
