Commercial
CCTV not only acts as a deterrent but can also provide vital evidence when it comes to prosecution following a crime.
As with all technology, CCTV security's capability has progressed rapidly over recent years, making it a much more effective security tool. Here is a summary of some of the new features which enhance the effectiveness of commercial CCTV:
Video analytics
A significant drawback of video surveillance systems is the necessary high degree of human monitoring keeping watch in real-time. This issue is particularly a problem if you have several cameras to watch over. New video analytics technology eliminates this issue.
The analytics technology utilises intelligent algorithms to scrutinise video footage and distinguish between threat and non-threat site events. The technology can determine if unwanted or suspicious behaviour occurs in the field of view of a video camera and then notify the console operator.
The technology has wide application, including intrusion and theft monitoring.
Smart motion detection
Motion detection is an important security tool but can often trigger false
alarms, making the technology less effective. For example, falling leaves, extreme weather or animals can generate false alerts and make it more likely that users will miss or ignore the critical warnings.
Smart motion detection fixes this issue by using a deep learning algorithm to identify humans and vehicles only. The system will only send a notification in real-time when it identifies a target.
Remote monitoring
A remote video response centre (RVRC) provides 24/7 CCTV monitoring 365 days of the year.
At a highly secure monitoring station, professionally trained CCTV operators remotely monitor live images. When an operator observes anything suspicious or untoward, they trigger an immediate and appropriate response.
Depending on the nature of the situation and the set-up, the response can range from issuing a verbal warning via on-site horn speakers to calling the police to attend.
RVRCs provide the benefits of an on-site presence at a fraction of the cost.
