With the constant evolution and changes that surrounds our daily lives, the technologies that involve advanced security is one area that is embracing the new developments occurring in the video surveillance industry and how organizations and across various industries are changing their security systems and implementing these technologies to meet those security issues.
Artificial intelligence (AI) will transform how businesses use video surveillance, and 2024 will see widespread adoption of intelligent, proactive security solutions. The continued rapid adoption of cloud technologies is enabling this revolution and shifting what businesses want and expect from their video surveillance systems. While AI has become quite the buzzword, it’s important to sift through the noise.
At Advanced Network Connections we’re focused on how AI is really making a difference when it comes to video surveillance.
AI can also recognize abnormalities and alert you to them in real time, allowing for a more proactive system. This has the added benefit of reducing your company, school, or organization’s need to have a person constantly monitoring the video. Human intervention can be subject to error, not to mention the inherent resource allocation costs. This is definitely one instance that highlights the power of AI to share meaningful information and reduce resource expenditures that would otherwise be assigned to this task.
Access Control Integration – One of the most powerful integrations to combine with a business surveillance system, campus video security system, or government agency surveillance system with an access control integration system.
Integrating your video surveillance solution with your access control system allows you to see and regulate who enters your buildings, when, where, and how. This means harnessing the power of a state-of-the-art access control systems that includes components like:
- Headend devices
- Swipe cards and card readers
- Request-to-exit systems
- Magnetic locks
- Door strikes
- Crash bars
Environmental Sensor Integration – Environmental sensors help you to address concerns like air quality, vaping, food spoilage, and even overheating IT equipment. But did you know you can integrate your environmental sensors with your video surveillance system?
When it comes to optimizing your video surveillance solution, this approach allows you to monitor behaviors and conditions that impact the health and safety of your buildings’ grounds. This technology empowers you to address everything from motion and aggression detection to occupancy monitoring, and even monitor food temperature and noise levels. Furthermore, this solution can point to where issues may stem from so you can proactively and effectively address them before they become problematic.
You can also tie your environmental sensors to your video camera system. This allows you to deliver pop-up alerts to various devices so that notable events can be easily detected, recorded, and addressed. Responding to Realtime alerts as they happen can help you save money, time, and potentially lives in the case of emergency situations.
Facial Recognition – Facial recognition technology is an advancement in video surveillance that helps you to address theft, locate missing individuals, and secure your buildings and grounds.
There are, of course, notable privacy and security concerns to consider when considering this technology, including legal implications for those in public education. However, there are also advantages, including the potential for so-called “face similarity”, to find specific subjects quickly and accurately from an uploaded photo. Question to ask yourself – When looking at this technology solution you have to consider “what’s your liability worth without it?”
Eventually these systems help businesses to address crimes in real time whether in a school, business, wherever heightened security is truly needed this technology is a welcomed addition to any video surveillance system.
It’s true that Surveillance Systems are evolving at a tremendous rate and it can be a daunting task to find the right solution for your business. So, if you’re looking for a technology partner to help you optimize your Video Surveillance solution, the Engineers at Advanced Network Connections can help get you started with the security system that is right for you.
