Intelligent Video Surveillance And Network Cameras

Posted: Apr 03, 2010 |Comments: 0 |

Intelligent Video Surveillance represents the next level in security camera protection. Through using IP cameras that record video input as digital data, IVS software displays live video and monitors this data for behavior that's been pre-programmed as a potential threat.

IVS can be implemented either into analog CCTV systems or IP cameras. Depending on your specific situation, IP cameras can be programmed to fulfill the exact needs or your home, office or property.

Let's use an example. Say you're in charge of security for a large train station. Your cameras can be programmed to monitor when people step too close to the edge of a platform while passengers are not meant to be getting on trains. Security staff can then be alerted instantly of this occurring, or a response warning those who caused the breach can be sounded out along the platform. As the specific video image is recorded and monitored by the IVS, it's possible to implement software that automatically protects your clientele, staff and assets automatically to a degree never before imagined.

Other examples could include a specific customer loitering in a store for an unwarranted period of time, unusual car activity in the car-park of your business or bodily interaction that indicates the presence of physical violence. Audio capabilities can also be engaged and monitored, where if sound levels reach unusual levels, security personnel can be notified and protective measures put in place.

Another feature of IVS is that of motion detection and the tracking of objects. Let's say, for example, you're recording a car park at night that shouldn't have any movement. The cameras can be on at all times while not recording useless data of an empty car park, and only be engaged when movement does occur. This movement can then be monitored automatically, with cameras being able to pan, zoom and tilt to keep a constant, ever-watchful eye on whatever is causing the movement in the frame. Such capabilities were previously only available with an actual human present to perform them, and it's an unreasonable notion to assume any human could keep such a consistent eye on all cameras, twenty-four seven.

This notification can be made through email and SMS, and it's not necessary that any human be present at the location in order to watch the footage being recorded. Through video servers, authorized personnel will be able to view live or previously recorded footage from a remote location anywhere in the world.

IVS systems can also be surprisingly cost effective and easy to install. Since the features of IVS come from computer software rather than internet cameras themselves, there won't be a need to make many changes to the current maintenance and lay-out of your current camera set-up.

IVS is without doubt the cutting edge of security technology. Combined with well placed, well protected IP cameras, your protection has never before had such a watchful eye over it. While many of the technological advances of today could be seen as frivolous or unnecessary, Intelligent Video Servers have created a functional, tangible difference to the way to protect you, your staff or your family against danger.
