Leveraging Advanced Video Analytics for Enhanced Security - Part 1

Video surveillance capabilities have expanded tremendously in recent years. Advancements in video analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) continue to propel forward and are delivering a whole new level of benefits to users.

What video analytics do is process video in real-time and translate it into intelligent data. It detects and tracks people, vehicles, and other objects in the video stream and automatically generates descriptions of what is happening. Consequently, video analytics has increased the efficiency of security monitoring and taken some of the burden off security and management staff.

Analytics are now facilitating a higher level of awareness and insight. They’re being used for a wide variety of applications, including motion detection, facial recognition, object tracking and detection, people counting and tracking, crowd detection, loitering detection, and license plate recognition.

Advanced video analytics empower security teams to respond to and resolve incidents in real-time by automatically detecting and alerting security personnel to suspicious events or behavior. Whether it's unauthorized access, loitering, or unusual activity, they can identify and flag potential security threats to prompt responders to take immediate action and mitigate risks before they escalate.

Unauthorized access remains among the most pressing threats to many organizations. Many are leveraging the capabilities of advanced video analytics to prevent crimes such as break-ins, theft, and vandalism. The systems we deploy use intelligent algorithms to detect and track suspicious individuals or activities and provide early warning of potential security breaches. By proactively identifying and deterring criminal behavior, businesses can reduce the risk of property damage and loss, enhancing overall security and peace of mind.

Advanced video analytics can also monitor traffic patterns in high-traffic areas such as front offices, resident common areas, and building gates. They analyze movement patterns and behaviors to identify anomalies and alert security personnel. This capability enables organizations to maintain a safe and secure environment for employees, residents, and visitors.

Parking lots or secluded corners can become vulnerable targets for criminal activity after hours. Equipped with line crossing analytics, our systems can detect and notify security personnel of any unauthorized entry or suspicious movement in off-limit areas to prevent unauthorized access and ensure the safety of the premises, even during non-business hours.

Because of the actionable intelligence that video analytics can provide, in addition to enhancing security, increasingly more organizations are integrating advanced video surveillance devices into their other physical security and building management platforms. Video analytics, for example, can be connected to other systems, such as lighting controls or access management, activating them if and when needed.
