Video analytics software can easily transform surveillance footage into actionable intelligence

Video analytics solutions are the perfect solutions to help transform a huge amount of video surveillance footage into actionable intelligence, experts believe, and they’re becoming increasingly important as the number of CCTV surveillance cameras deployed around the world increases.

There are more than 350 million CCTV surveillance cameras in operation globally, recording huge amounts of potentially actionable information for apprehending criminals and solving crimes.

Unfortunately, this is hard to achieve using human-based video analysis. People are not equipped to retain focus when watching hours of surveillance video. They get distracted, tired, and require breaks. This means an hour of video can take three hours to be adequately analyzed by a human operator.

But what if this surveillance video could be filtered by a video content analytics platform; a software package that can allow human operators to specify what they’re looking for and filter out everything else? And what if it was able to compress footage that matched the human-defined criteria into just a few minutes of video that could be quickly reviewed?
Suddenly hours of surveillance video to be reviewed turns into minutes or even seconds. The human’s attention capacity is capable of working with this length of meaningful surveillance video quickly and deriving conclusions that are reliable and actionable.

Video analytics software reviews the mass surveillance video that a security guard or system manager may never even bother to watch. The analytical surveillance system is as useful as the incidents captured and watched, and video analytics will help find the hidden and missed safety loops. One misconception about analytics is that they are considered as just advanced motion detectors. The intelligence in analytics systems offers massive reductions in false alarm generations compared to standard motion detectors.
