CCTV surveillance technology has come a long way in the past ten years. Of course, CCTV is predominately seen as a crime deterrent but with improved technology it has evolved both in functionality and in the way it interacts with other platforms to provide a more rounded security solution.
CCTV surveillance has evolved to include high definition recording and video footage storage. With the improvement of images has come a rise in the use of video analytics. This allows the software to recognise a person and follow them from camera to camera. The ability to precisely identify a person serves as an efficient forensic tool.
Modern-day CCTV surveillance systems are more sophisticated than ever and can detect and generate alerts in real-time when suspicious activities are occurring. The ability for integration with other security technologies lets security personnel monitor efficiently. Analytics will allow them to follow a person from when they enter the site and monitor their every movement until they leave. All automated and highly accurate.
Artificial Intelligence video algorithms are used as the underlying technology in modern CCTV surveillance systems. Some of the outstanding features of the latest CCTV surveillance systems include motion detection, real-time alerts, and face recognition.
Another set of high-end features include object-recognition. The CCTV surveillance systems can identify suspicious objects at the premises that are not meant to be there. After identifying the presence of suspicious activities or objects, the system will alert security staff.
CCTV cameras will always act as a crime deterrent but now they have many other roles. Monitoring activity allows reporting in real time, allowing decisions to be made when a potential incident may occur. They also allow the collection of evidence in video format and with cloud storage can hold large quantities of records for a significant time.
