Video Analytics
Added Intelligence for Security, Safety & Operational Efficiency
Video analytics technology transforms security systems by automating object detection, people counting, perimeter defence, and much more, transforming raw video footage into actionable insights. This technology actively enhances facility security measures, empowering security personnel with real-time data and insights for swift and informed decision-making, and elevates traditional reactive surveillance tactics to proactive security.
Video analytics algorithms can extract various functions and insights from IP camera video streams. Some of the most common functions include:
- Motion Detection: video analytics algorithms can detect and track motion within the video stream, enabling the system to identify moving objects and differentiate them from static backgrounds.
- Intrusion Detection: These algorithms can analyse the video stream to identify and alert on potential intrusions or unauthorised entry into a specified area or zone.
- People/Object Counting: Video analytics can accurately count the number of people or objects entering or exiting a specific area. This function is helpful in crowd management, occupancy monitoring, and retail analytics.
- Facial Recognition: Sophisticated algorithms can identify and recognise human faces within the video stream, allowing for the detection of known individuals or matching against a database of faces for identification purposes.
- License Plate Recognition (LPR): LPR algorithms can extract license plate information from vehicles captured in the video stream, enabling automatic identification and tracking of vehicles for applications such as parking management, toll collection, and law enforcement.
- Abandoned Object Detection: Video analytics algorithms can identify and raise an alert if an object is left unattended in a specific area for a defined period. This feature is crucial for security applications to detect potential threats or suspicious activities.
- Object Tracking: These algorithms can track and follow the movement of specific objects or individuals across the video stream, providing real-time monitoring and situational awareness.
- Line Crossing Detection: Algorithms can detect when an object or person crosses a virtual line or boundary defined within the video stream, triggering alerts or actions based on predefined rules.
- Tampering Detection: Video analytics algorithms can identify if there is tampering or interference with the camera or the video stream, such as a blocked lens or loss of video signal.
These functions are just a few examples of the wide range of capabilities offered by video analytics algorithms. The specific functions available may vary depending on the sophistication of the video analytics software and the capabilities of the IP camera system.
