Artificial Intelligence and Advanced Analytics in Smart Video Security Systems
Thanks to advancements in artificial intelligence and advanced video analytics, video surveillance is now “smarter” and more proactive when it comes to security. Video security systems can “learn” what suspicious activity looks like. When spotted, the system will alert a property manager, appropriate local authorities, or off-site security personnel. Smart video security systems keep watch 24/7, even when monitors are unmanned. For example, there are common red flag characteristics surrounding most opportunistic crimes;- The lone figure lingering in a dark stairway,
- Three or more people hanging out in a parking lot late at night, or
- A car that repeatedly cruises a neighborhood at unusually slow speeds.
Unusual Activity Detection and Unusual Motion Detection in Smart Video Security Systems
Smart video security systems use “Unusual Motion Detection” (UMD) and “Unusual Activity Detection” (UAD) to proactively detect suspicious activity. Common suspicious activities, when recognized, trigger an immediate alert to security personnel. This allows faster identification and response to potential problems. Combined, UMD and UAD enable property owners to “watch” more areas and properties, with fewer onsite security personnel.Smart Video Security Appearance Search and Follow Feature
Going further, many new video security systems have an Appearance Search feature. This intelligent feature allows security, HOA or civic venue managers or authorities to quickly scan hours of recorded video to easily locate a suspect. Once identified, the system will follow that suspect’s movements as they pass in and out of multiple camera locations. Together, security personnel and police can use Appearance Search and Follow to piece together a complete video of a crime. They can also find the exit route, or last known location of the suspect, and find the best picture of the perpetrator’s face. These smart video security features go a long way in protecting your perimeter, apprehending suspects, and helping law enforcement solve property crimes.High Definition Cameras Using High Definition Stream Management
Thanks to the superior image quality of High Definition Video Cameras, fewer cameras can be placed further apart. Fewer cameras mean less cost, compared to multiple low-cost cameras. But what makes smart video security systems even more cost effective are features like High Definition Stream Management (HDSM) that reduces server-client bandwidth requirements. By doing so, HDSM makes optimal use of computing resources. This enables greater scalability and increased camera resolution.Smart Savings: Averted Crime and ROI
“Smart” video security systems are proving to be both efficient and incredibly cost-effective. A couple of examples on a larger scale show that:- In Chicago, the averted crime cost savings is $4 for every $1 spent.1
- In Baltimore, smart video systems provide a 2:1 ROI.2
- In Shanghai, crime rates are down 30% while police response times are slashed drastically.3
