Intelligent video analysis five cool applications

As network cameras continue to replace the application trend of analog devices, we find that in addition to shooting surveillance images, the eye-catching additional features of network cameras are showing a rapid growth trend in industrial applications, and the cameras themselves are becoming smarter. .

The development of intelligent video analysis has come a long way, ranging from simple motion detection to camera tamper alarms, personnel counting and virtual cross-line detection. In addition, there are some more popular applications, including:

Perimeter protection

The perimeter protection solution is based on a thermal imaging camera with built-in video analysis. They can detect suspicious targets in dark scenes and automatically alert when a target enters a predefined area within the surveillance scene. The camera can be set up to detect moving people or vehicles and alert potential intruders in real time, helping security personnel to identify suspicious activity in a timely manner and visually confirm what happened before performing the action. This perimeter protection system easily integrates with other network cameras, fill lights or speakers to prevent possible intruders.

face recognition

Facial recognition not only enhances security, but it also helps create a better customer experience. Cameras using facial recognition software can match real-time video faces to pre-stored image databases in just a few milliseconds. The database can be categorized according to different applications, whether it is to implement access control or VIP identification, or Accurately locating specific people can do a specific job efficiently. Such systems have been used in airports, rail transit, train stations and casinos.

Sound detection

Smart cameras can not only "see" but they can also "hear." Some noise can occur at the time of many security incidents - this can come from loud shouting, broken glass or tire screams. Smart cameras with sound detection can bring great value to your security system.

People Counting

Image-based quantitative statistics solutions are popular in the retail industry, and they reliably count specific information on the number of people. Help retailers improve the efficiency of their promotions and optimize their staffing by analyzing how their customers are changing over time. In addition, this feature is also useful for airports, museums, and other venues that require detailed statistics on the number of people.

License Plate Recognition

Automatic license plate recognition systems are often very expensive – they use proprietary technology, through specific hardware and software installed on the server side. Today, we can use standard network cameras with video analysis software to achieve. It reduces costs and increases system scalability, which in turn enables license plate recognition to be integrated with more applications: automatic access to parking lots, collection of parking fees, real-time traffic flow and access control on toll roads.

Intelligent video analytics allow users to get more out of the video surveillance infrastructure. Combined with the additional data in the device - including audio, POS and information from IoT sensors (such as smoke detectors, environmental sensors, etc.), it is inevitable to continue to develop and apply intelligent video analysis functions on a large scale in the future.
