AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Eagle Eye Networks, the global leader in cloud video surveillance, today announced it will use a $100M primary equity investment from security giant SECOM, CO., LTD. to expand its suite of AI-powered products, fund geographic expansion and enhance its enterprise features.

Eagle Eye Networks has made significant advancements in AI technology with the introduction of Eagle Eye Smart Video Search, which has won five international product awards to date. Smart Video Search is available to all existing and new Eagle Eye Cloud VMS (video management system) customers across the globe.
