About Anthony Caputo

I have an extensive diverse background in both creative thinking and visualization and logical thinking as an executive and technology consultant. I am a visual storyteller in the process of solution design and architecture; a unique communicator that makes the process of envisioning and presenting sophisticated complex technological solutions far more effective; from the executive level to the engineer. Creative thinking is the process of coming up with new ideas or new approaches, while Logical Thinking provides a method of developing the vision into reality. In my history of building businesses, I became the liaison between the vision, and/or visionary and the investment interest, building and presenting sophisticated processes and technologies as a visual story that depicts how to achieve the valued outcome and goal. I’ve been a senior technical consultant since 1998, with the past eleven-years working in solution architectures for large complex systems that includes many moving hardware and software components, encapsulating them to meet the desired objectives. Many of my solutions include wide area deployments that include wireless, video security, AI/ML development and process validation for public transportation, education, utilities, manufacturing, government and most recently for global amusement parks.I’ve been working with digital video since 1995, with experience in video analytics; extracting intelligence metadata from video for additional value to these multifaceted systems. As a published author, I wrote McGraw-Hill’s Build Your Own Server and Elsevier’s best-selling Digital Video Surveillance and Security, now in its second edition. I’ve also presented at conferences on video analytics, network security and my multi-dimensional view for troubleshooting city-wide networked video for the International Security Conference and Exposition (ISC), in Las Vegas, and also provided the Keynote Speech "The Future of CCTV" at CCTV World Conference in Sydney Australia.

  • Ibm
    Ibm Sdcoe Solution Architect - Digital Video Surveillance And Security Specialist
    Ibm Nov 2009 - Jun 2012
    Armonk, New York, Ny, Us
    I was the Digital Video Surveillance and Security and Wireless Networked Architect for the SDCoE, brought into the larger, more complex projects for homeland security, municipals, transportation, education, healthcare, distribution and manufacturing. Researched, developed and design dozens of complex projects for multiple institutions and organizations.Healthcare - Patient MonitoringI was brought into a healthcare provider to evaluate the technical requirements for an opportunity. There were a large number of staff in attendance, including the IT Director, who informed us that the previous five vendors stated that what they need could not be done. I, of course, saw this as a challenge. The top floors of the facility included high-risk patients. They required 24/7 monitoring of these high-risk patients to minimize liability. This monitoring needed to be done off-site at a central command and control monitoring installation by trained healthcare operators. The operators must have the ability to talk to the patient and call the nurse from the nursing station. The Nurse Call Station was a legacy system with no SDK. Integration would have been a lengthy, expensive process, if at all possible. The IT Director reiterated it wasn’t possible, based on the research from the previous five vendors.I suggested using cameras with two-way audio for remote communications with the patients, and using the i/o ports of the camera to trigger the bathroom emergency pull switch to call the nurse to that specific room. Bewildered and apprehensive, they demanded a demo to prove it could work. I created a prototype in my lab and used Milestone Xprotect as the video management system software, adding “Talk” and “Call Nurse” overlay buttons onto the live video feed for the operators, and presented the prototype to the group. The Nurses called me MacGyver. It was successfully deployed by the delivery team, and offered to other healthcare providers.

    I provided system analysis, security system integration, project management, and wireless expertise for the development, design and deployment of a Homeland Security Video System for the City of Chicago, Chicago Public Schools, Chicago Transit Authority and Navy Pier, Chicago, Illinois.Public High School Pilot Program The project included the analysis, evaluation, design and implementation of a physically security system that provided security personnel and school administrators, along with a centralized school security office, with two primary requirements: 1) Facial identification at 30-40 feet, and 2) Near 100% corridor coverage.Historically, they were able to see a person-of-interest, but not be able to recognize them due to the limited resolution and frame rates of the existing cameras and limitation of the video management system software. Provided an evaluation and design, using megapixel cameras and increased coverage, along with video management system configuration that dramatically increased the effectiveness and efficiency of the physical security system. The success of the implementation lead to the integration into 14 more schools.Real world statistics of the effectiveness and efficiencies include:79 percent decrease in arrests (over 140 in 2009)59 percent drop in misconduct reportsReduced onsite Police officersIdentification and arrest of burglary suspectsFrom July to November 2011, 16 arrests saved hundreds of thousands of dollars in assetsIncreased test scores67% reduction in index crimes Six percent increase in attendanceVideo analysis reduced from 8+ hours to minutesFalse Fire Alarms from eight per year to zeroThe system I designed was added as the new standard for all new public schools.
