Securing a building or business premises in today’s information age continues to be a concern for many building owners and managers. Mounting physical and cyber threats means security systems need to evolve to meet the challenges head-on. Video analytics is one recent development which is helping to neutralise the modern-day security threats. So, what is video analytics? How does video analytics help to make your premises more secure? Why do you need video analytics software? Read the rest of the article to find the answers to these questions<\/p>\n
Video analytics apply software algorithms to detect and track people, vehicles and other objects in your live or recorded CCTV image feed. They can also even categorise footage by people’s behaviour and appearance now. You can have your chosen implementation partner program the analytics software to detect events such as object removal (imagine how critical this is for stock or high value asset security). Advanced events such as the direction of travel, objects crossing a line or people loitering in a given area are also possible with this software.<\/p>\n
Once a programmed event triggers, the system can carry out pre-selected instructions such as activating an audible warning, triggering an alert to mobile security or alerting the police.<\/p>\n
Whatever industry you work in and the size of your business, CCTV video analytics offers some distinct benefits.<\/p>\n
With video analytics, the amount of video footage the software can analyse far exceeds what monitoring personnel can handle at any given time. This is the first benefit of deploying software technology, it increases the effectiveness of your security team and proactively alerts you to security events.<\/p>\n
Programmable alarm triggers such as identifying particular vehicles, using number plate recognition systems, or individuals using facial recognition, improves operational efficiency and reduces the need for manned monitoring systems.<\/p>\n
