Pro-Active Intelligence Outline
Customers are demanding “more-bang-for-their-buck” and given the advances in video technology this is a very reasonable approach. Video Intelligence has spurred a multi-dimensional approach from IP based camera systems and it is expected that an IP camera do 3-4 different tasks simultaneously, for example, accurate Face Recognition, People Counting, Customer Demographics and Customer Traffic Flow to name only a few. This approach leverages huge economies of scale, greater ROI and makes control room operators more effective.
The core purpose behind Pro-Active Intelligence is to allow the pictures (ie: - the video) to “speak” to the operator, thereby allowing the operator to be proactive, productive and effective. This in turn allows the operator to monitor dozens of cameras simultaneously. Some of the examples of automatic control room alerts are:-
- a known criminal has been identified entering the premises
- or if a stolen vehicle enters the premises
- or if someone leaves a suspicious object in a hallway,
- or if someone removes an item from an area.
The inability of the control room to provide Pro-Active monitoring (see picture example below) is actually encouraging criminality, vandalism and a flouting of the rules by tenants and staff, which places the operation at serious risk.
Some of the use case examples of Pro-Active Intel are:-
The video below - Pro-Active Intelligence overview - gives a brief demonstration of the above mentioned examples. |
