THE CEO’S MESSAGE

Video surveillance is an essential part of the security toolkit. The advantages are well understood, from deterring would-be thieves and vandals through to protecting assets (and capturing the occasional funny moment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHwFT6c0rQc).

However, those grainy images that we are so familiar with from Police Ten 7 are now a thing of the past. Today, video surveillance systems allow for high-resolution images, capturing sound and real-time motion alerts. The software that accompanies the solution, or the cameras themselves, can deliver a suite of artificial intelligence features helping organisations gain a better understanding of their customers and operations.

Vehicle registration recognition is becoming more common place to identify stolen vehicles, manage traffic flow and wrong way detection and to grant entry. 

Facial recognition is being used in the health and finance sectors enables the identification of VIPs and trespassed individuals.

People counting and heat mapping to optimise staffing levels, track responses to promotions, plan transport schedules and gain further information on a customer base is growing as business looks to optimise the investment in security technology.

The system can tag every object for fast easy searches by face, colour, vehicle, backpack etc.

Two-way audio allows users to speak and listen directly through high-definition cameras.

In short, the continued development of technologies such as Artificial Intelligence will provide greater value to consumers and as it is increasingly adopted, the benefits will reach a wider audience and transform the security market. Our team of experienced consultants can assist you in determining the best solution for your business or home.
