In\u00a0my previous post I mentioned that I wanted to dedicate some space to the what, why, and how of intelligent video functions and I attempted to answer the question, what is intelligent video<\/a>?\u00a0<\/p>\n

Continuing\u00a0in that vein, today I’ll be talking about why intelligent video is used to give you\u00a0some background\u00a0of how\u00a0it\u00a0has shaped IP surveillance systems and will continue to do so in the future.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Why Intelligent Video?<\/h2>\n

The security industry has grown rapidly and is constantly evolving.\u00a0 Not only has the number of IP surveillance system <\/a>installations increased but so has the size and scope of installations.\u00a0 This has led to smarter software systems to manage these surveillance solutions.<\/p>\n

Security personnel and IP video users need an efficient way to handle their surveillance challenges. Hence, intelligent video.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Analog Converges to IP-Based<\/h2>\n

As the security industry and its end users move from traditional analog CCTV surveillance systems to more powerful IP-based systems, new uses and possibilities have emerged\u00a0for the video information that’s captured.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0fully digital images sent over a network provide new user benefits that were simply not possible with analog signals.\u00a0\u00a0For example,\u00a0a recent development is Panasonic IP Cameras<\/a>\u00a0like the WV-SF336<\/a> coupled with Panasonic Network Video Recorders<\/a>\u00a0that provide facial recognition based on images stored in a database.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Panasonic’s president talks more about\u00a0facial recognition in this article\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Market Drivers<\/h2>\n

The reasons why intelligent video is used can be summarized by the three core\u00a0market drivers:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The limited attention span of human operators leads to security risks.<\/li>\n
  2. Users need quick access to stored video.\u00a0 FAST retrieval is important for efficient monitoring.<\/li>\n
  3. New ways to use IP video that spawn new user benefits.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Limited Attention Span<\/h2>\n

    If you’ve read this far, you’re attention span might be better than average.\u00a0 It’s been studied and stated that in only a little more than 20 minutes, up to 95% of surveillance activity is overlooked by the operator.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    And think about it – it’s virtually impossible to watch all the video all of the time.\u00a0 But, if the video is not watched then alerts and events will not be acted upon creating a security risk.<\/p>\n

    Intelligent video steps in to resolve that issue by sending alerts to operators when suspicious activity is noticed such as people moving in restricted areas, cars driving the wrong way, or when someone is tampering with the IP camera.<\/p>\n

    Access Stored Video<\/h2>\n

    To discover what actually happened you can sit and watch all of your archived video, do a manual search, or employ an intelligent video system that ensures only the most relevant video is ever recorded and stored.<\/p>\n

    This saves on bandwidth, storage space, and makes searching a whole lot easier.\u00a0 Additionally many intelligent video systems can automatically search for events and retrieve them in seconds.<\/p>\n

    New Applications<\/h2>\n

    Due to the digital nature of IP video, surveillance footage can now be used for more than just security purposes.<\/p>\n

    Realize a higher return on investment by obtaining marketing data from video footage such as people counting or monitoring the success of an in-store display.\u00a0 That is, you can count how many people stopped at a particular\u00a0merchandising shelf.<\/p>\n

    What’s Next?<\/h2>\n

    Up next I’ll talk about how intelligent video applications\u00a0are used and what the best practices are for implementing and using it.<\/p>\n
