Intelligent security systems provide business opportunities
their seat, to bathroom breaks and
snack bar visits. The company is
therefore developing new proce-
dures to streamline getting from
A to B while limiting line-ups and
crowds. Sticking a few arrows on
the floor is just not enough.
Rather than having people
standing in line for 20 to 30 min-
utes while waiting to scan tickets
and go through security, some
venues are using people-counting
analytics within their digital video
surveillance systems to minimise
wait times. The software can be
configured to notify the appropri-
ate staff if the line exceeds the
acceptable number of people, so
they know to open another gate
or redirect the crowd. On top of
this, ANPR, access control, inter-
com systems, heat mapping, and
other tools are essential to gather
data on guest behaviour and en-
sure sensitive areas are secured.
Fast growing verticals
Video surveillance has become an
important part of the transporta-
tion and logistics vertical and
this is one of the fastest-growing
verticals right now according to
Marketsandmarkets.
The company states: "The
various benefits of video analyt-
ics for the transportation and
logistics vertical are the elimina-
tion of overcrowding, behaviour
analysis, enhanced safety measures,
incident recording, and detection
of blind spots. Video analytics can
contribute to the enhancement
and betterment of this vertical
for commuters while providing
improved safety benefits".
Video analytics features like
facial recognition, object tracking,
unidentified object detection, car-
go and train carriage recognition,
and intelligent traffic monitoring,
can help transportation and logis-
tics companies prevent disasters
and detect emerging threats, which
may lead to infrastructure destruc-
tion or vehicle crashing, resulting
in the loss of life, according to
Marketsandmarkets.
Easier for the operators
The increasingly intelligent
security systems also make alarm
centres and SOCs (Security Op-
erations Centres) more important
and more efficient. Hanwha
Techwin Europe's Product and
Marketing Manager, Uri Guter-
man, points out that operators
can now take advantage of AI
technology to more effectively
track suspects and objects. PTZ
cameras with pre-set patrol
rounds are one example, where
the cameras' improved autotrack-
ing deep learning-based video
analysis can be triggered by an
alarm and lock onto people or
vehicles.
Uri Guterman concludes: "AI-
based auto-tracking offers a very
high level of accuracy because it
is not distracted by video noise,
waving trees, moving clouds
or animals. In simple terms, it
ignores these common causes
of false alarms because it is only
looking for people or vehicles."
Advancements in deep learning and its integration with the edge system are also expected to drive the adoption in the coming years.
Video analytics can contribute to the
enhancement and betterment of this
vertical for commuters while providing
improved safety benefits."
