Combining Video Analytics with CCTV for a
sophisticated Security Solution

Research shows that after about 20
minutes the average CCTV control room operator
takes in about 5 of the information presented
3
The likelihood of spotting a real event
is estimated to be around 1 in a 1000
4
The review of recorded information is
equally impacted by fatigue and information
overload
5
As with many other walks of life the
Human Factor plays a crucial role in deterring
and combating crime
6
Video Analytics is the most important
breakthrough in the application of CCTV
7
LIVE VIDEO - Automates the monitoring of
events- Draws the operators
attentionRECORDED VIDEO- Automates the
analysis of video footage- Only events of
interest extracted
8
WARNING!
9
Industry damaged by early systems
performanceTheir capabilities were
oversoldFailure to deliver on exaggerated
claimsSwitched off due to constant alarming
10
Technology is still being oversoldHow
does a computer identify someone suspicious?
11
The industry needs to manage
expectationsThe art of the possible
12
How does Video Analytics differ from
Motion Detection?
13
It is more discriminatory where
false-positive triggers is concerned- The user
can specify the activity of interest not just
movement
14
Event Detection is based on a growing
range of criteriaInitially - Non
MotionDirection, Size of Target, Position,
Dwell Time, Speed of Travel, Distance Moved,
Colour
15
Increasingly clever algorithmsWith Motion
Detection you can have several zones within an
imageWith Video Analytics you can set an area
threshold for the target object inside the target
zoneScene depth can be considered for the first
time with high quality real time digital video

Configuring a Video Analytics system to
cope with Environmental Factors- Lighting -

21
To cope with these fluctuating factors in
all environmental conditions you need- A Video
Analytics system that has adaptive algorithms
to ensure system accuracy and reliability
22
Understanding and managing risk factors in
implementation- Does the software do what you
need it to?- Is it configured correctly for the
application and environment?- Have the
operators been trained to use and configure
the system?
23
Do you need Video Analytics as part of
CCTV security solution?-If you want event
detection to be automated-Early response to
threats to prevent escalation-More effective
and efficient use of resources
24
Do you need Video Analytics?You do if
you want to do- motion detection object
segmentation- object tracking/people counting-
object classification- image masking

How should cameras be deployed for an
effective VA system?- This will depend vey much
on the application and environment- A radius
arc of 60m is advised for virtual
tripwire type doorway or perimeter
sterile zone alarm- Greater distances possible
but affects evidential quality of footage
28
The cost benefits of reduced monitoring
time faster response - For the first time we
can talk about security in terms of return on
investment not grudge purchase - Video
intelligence can bring many benefits and cost
savings to an organisation
29
A UK police force used VA in reviewing a
major incident Saved 60 of the time usually
taken2000 hours of police time to review
footage 1200 hours savedFaster follow up of
incidentPolice can be redeployed on the streets
if need be
