Three Ways in Which AI Technology is Increasing the Effectiveness of Video Security Systems
Recent advances in AI based tools have led to three game changing improvements in video surveillance security systems.
Detection and Deterrence
The vast majority of users look at recorded video after an event has occurred. AI based systems like the Automated Night Watch solution from Bosch Security can detect and analyze possible incidents occurring using AI to automatically trigger a range of actions such as tracking and illuminating subjects, playing customized messages over a loudspeaker, and notifying authorities.
Live Monitoring
It is estimated that less than 1% of video systems use live monitoring. Most cameras are not watched even when someone is watching, especially given the far greater number of cameras compared to those watching. Couple that with the fact that most security personnel watching cameras have other responsibilities and it is no wonder that only a small fraction of video is being actively monitored. AI and content analysis solutions like CHeKT Visual Security make the nearly impossible task of watching video from all cameras much more effective by presenting those scenarios most likely to be a security incident to one or more live monitoring operators. AI helps to determine and focus attention on the problems. This leads to expedited police response, theft and vandalism deterrence, and reduced false alarm dispatches.
Rapid Search
When there is a need to review recorded video, AI deep learning solutions like BriefCam Video Content Analytics enable rapid review and appearance-based search, face recognition, license plate recognition, and quantitative video insights. What used to take hours of video review now can be done in minutes through these analytics. This improves post-event investigation productivity by pinpointing people and objects of interest with speed and precision.
Ease of Integration
There is good news in that these technologies and solutions can be integrated within most existing video surveillance systems. They also can be readily customized to meet the specific needs of individual businesses and institutions such as incorporating intuitive site maps, adding data from past incidents, and creating organization specific action triggers.
