About IntelliSee

IntelliSee was born from a vision to make the world a safer place through the ever-expanding capabilities of artificial intelligence.

Our story begins more than 15 years ago, when the University of Iowa Technology Institute was selected to conduct leading-edge research on behalf of the U.S. Department of Defense to improve the safety and performance of soldiers through AI. As a result of this decades-old relationship, Malum Terminus Technologies—and the capabilities that now power IntelliSee—were created.

Seeing it’s potential to impact lives outside of the military, Malum Terminus Technologies, the parent company of IntelliSee, was granted the exclusive Intellectual Property (IP) rights to bring the technology to other sectors—from schools to hospitals, private businesses, and more—bringing us one step closer to achieving our vision of making the world safer through the power of AI. This long standing partnership has produced globally leading capabilities in human motion-based virtual reality, computer vision engineering, and artificial intelligence.

Research & Development

As research continues, IntelliSee’s team of researchers and developers are working hand-in-hand with the University of Iowa to ensure the continued evolution of IntelliSee’s platform. We are always scanning the horizon to find new ways to minimize harm, end abuse, reduce financial loss, and protect lives by using the world’s most advanced technologies for good.

Base research and the power of machine learning via IntelliSee’s neural network means the types of threats and risks detected will continue to deepen and expand on the platform. The platform will also continue to further integrate with clients’ existing VMS/Security Platforms as an expanding part of their overall physical security ecosystem.
