Today, we'll discuss six of the leading video analytics available for video surveillance systems. These video analytics can provide various benefits depending on their application. Here are the six video analytics:
1.
People counting
People counting video analytics are useful for retail stores to analyze customer behavior, building management, crowd management, and security purposes. It provides real-time estimated crowd count and can trigger alerts when thresholds are reached.
Other uses include:
Counting the number of people passing through a specified area daily
Determining the normal flow of people according to the day of the week and time of day
Generating alerts in cases of unusual foot traffic, such as long lines or unexpected upticks/decreases in pedestrian activity
2. Vehicle direction detection and counting
Vehicle direction detection and counting analytics are valuable for metered parking lots, parking garages, and highways. This analytics can detect if a car is driving in the wrong direction and count the number of cars entering and leaving a parking garage.
3. License plate recognition
The license plate recognition video analytic is useful for touchless access control in parking structures and lots. It automatically records an approaching car's license plate and compares it to a database of approved visitors. Other applications include enhancing physical security, tracking a known suspect's vehicle, finding a stolen vehicle, and conducting parking enforcement activities.
4. Facial recognition
Facial recognition can be used for identifying suspects or criminals, reducing wait times at airports, and identifying known shoplifters or individuals with a history of fraud in retail businesses. It can also be used for tracking student or employee attendance, locating missing persons, and access control for government buildings or corporate offices.
5. Intrusion detection
Intrusion detection enables security cameras to recognize when an intruder enters a secured space and send an alert to notify the operator of a breach. It can detect human movement in pre-selected zones and can work during any time of the day or night, in any weather or lighting conditions.
6. Object detection
Object detection video analytics focus on detecting non-human objects. It can detect if an unwanted or suspicious object is left behind in a pre-defined area, such as suspicious baggage at an airport or an out-of-place backpack at a sporting event. It can also detect if a specific object has been moved or removed from the defined area, such as a painting on a wall in a museum.
By combining the right cameras, monitors, and video recorders, businesses can provide their customers with advanced video analytics solutions that are highly useful for their real-world applications.
