About

salient (adj): standing above, prominent, apart from the rest

Salient Systems Corporation is an acknowledged and trusted manufacturer of Video Surveillance Management software.  Since 2000, our core marketing channel has been security dealers and integrators where our products have stood the test of time, helping to secure some of the most prominent and vital locations in the United States.  Our core vertical markets have been, and continue to be, education, healthcare, retail, banking and financial and commercial real estate.

Co-founded by Per Hanssen in 1995 in Austin, Texas, Salient was established as a leading developer of high end graphics co-processor boards used in the diagnostic medical imaging industry. Building on our initial success, Salient's next generation of graphic products utilized multiple processors and were designed based on open architecture technology.  Salient's original product was a multi-megapixel video capture board capable of capturing 30 frames per second:  years ahead of the rest of the industry.

The advanced video capture technology developed by Salient came to the attention of the video surveillance and security industry. In 2000, the company began focusing all of its development efforts on designing IT-friendly video surveillance software and hardware platforms for this growing market. Leading the way with an IT mindset, Salient has combined years of video technology expertise with a deep understanding of the physical security world to develop the most comprehensive and reliable solution available today.
