Surveillance technology has made tremendous strides. High resolution image sensors, infrared night vision, thermal imaging, and light catching technology make capturing video of incidents more detailed and effective than ever. What really unifies all these technologies into a truly powerful surveillance solution is Video Analytics.

Analytics-equipped devices (either analytics-equipped cameras or dedicated analytics appliances) have the intelligence to distinguish people and vehicles from everything else in their field of view. They highlight these classified objects and record the analytic data on the video server for action or review. Neural engines perform detailed analysis of this data to distinguish appearance of clothing, facial features, vehicle style and color, all of which are searchable filters. Based on the search criteria you enter in an analytics search, a massive facility with 250 cameras can immediately display all appearances of a specific person everywhere they went throughout the grounds and interior.

Video Analytics are therefore extremely powerful for investigation purposes. But the technology reaches the next level by enabling the detection unusual motion. Unusual motion detection can discern if a vehicle is going the wrong way up a one-way drive, or if someone  allowing the system to automatically alert security personnel to act. This transforms your surveillance system from a reactionary system to proactive solution. That’s the power of Video Analytics.
