Closed-circuit television is the best system to ensure the safety of an environment. From a broader perspective of global security, the video surveillance system should be considered as a key component but not as the definitive system.
The combination of an anti-theft system and a CCTV system increases asset protection to a high security level and guarantees the result. The quality and efficiency of such a system are determined by the goodness of the equipment used and the strategy with which they are installed in the field. Through a CCTV system you can immediately see the causes of the alarm and effectively control your values. Additionally, even for this type of implant, the deterrent factor is deterred, which discourages the intruders from being filmed and recorded. There are several equipment that make up a CCTV system.
Different video image transmission systems are available in relation to the requirements and the technical characteristics:
– Coaxial cable and two-wire cable
– optical fiber (multi / mono modal)
– public switched networks (ISDN, GSM)
– network IP
– wireless and infrared wireless systems
Video analysis
Video analysis is an advanced motion detection system.
What is video analytics?
Video surveillance systems produce large amounts of footage. However, due to lack of time or resources, the videos are hardly ever watched or re-watched. As a result, security breaches go unnoticed and suspicious behavior isn’t detected in time to prevent accidents. These problems were instrumental in the development of video analytics.
Video analysis consists of applications that automatically generate descriptions of what happens in the video (the so-called “metadata”). The information can be used to report people, cars and other objects detected in the video, as well as their appearance and movement. Then, they can be used to determine what to do next, for example by alerting security personnel or initiating a recording.
Why use video analytics?
Video analytics offers many benefits, such as:
Cost reduction: By sending fewer videos over the network, loads and storage space are reduced.
Time savings: Monitoring and searches in recordings are easier, allowing operators to manage multiple cameras.
Increased efficiency: Automatic video monitoring for security breaches helps prevent crime rather than reacting only after the event.
Commercial added value: By integrating video data into other systems, such as people counting by cameras at the entrance to the points of sale, the surveillance system can provide in-depth information and help find new solutions for other commercial functions.
SOME EXAMPLES OF VIDEO ANALYSIS
Tripware: it triggers a “warning” if an object crosses one or more virtual lines. This algorithm is used to monitor the entry of people into prohibited areas or the crossing of safety lines.
Object Counting: with this function, a count of people or things crossing a virtual line is triggered. In this way it is possible to obtain fundamental statistical data to make decisions regarding the safety of a specific area and the management of the flow of people.
Loitering Alarm and Panic Alarm: with the “Loitering” and “Panic” function, a “warning” is triggered in the event that sudden and sudden changes in direction and rushes of subjects in the affected area or excessive parking are detected.
Object Detection: with this function, a “warning” is triggered if an object is abandoned or removed from an area subject to monitoring; in this way it is possible to check whether objects are abandoned or removed in a certain area.
Tampering Detection: with this function, a “warning” is triggered in the event of an attempted darkening of the room. This algorithm checks that normal vision is not disturbed by camera obfuscation
Conclusion
Video analytics make surveillance systems smarter, more accurate, and more manageable by other systems and users. Video analytics not only facilitate surveillance operations, but also offer commercial value to other players, such as marketers in sales firms.
We offer in-house analytics and a wide range of applications by leveraging the enormous potential of distributed video analytics and the camera application platform. This way, customers can flexibly choose when and where to use video analytics, without having to purchase all features upfront. In addition, they can take advantage of the widest range of applications available on the market.
CCTV system in order
To be considered in accordance with a CCTV system it has to answer three simple questions:
1) Is it installed as a rule by using materials compliant with the regulations?
2) Does it comply with all privacy policy?
a) Cameras arranged and orientated correctly according to the privacy statement
b) Minimum applicable information (correctly placed and filled out sign)
c) Complete written internal information (how the images are treated and who treats them)
d) Respect of record keeping times
3) Did you get the necessary permissions in case an employee is framed?
a) RSU / RSA report (trade unions) if present
b) Request permission Labor Inspectorate in the absence of agreement or RSU
