Technology makes it possible to support professional security with (live) video surveillance. In the past, most attention was paid to personal observation, monitoring and signalling, but at the moment, security is greatly enhanced by artificial intelligence and the automatic analysis of camera footage.

The traditional options for camera systems in security are:

• Observation, to watch from a distance if everything goes well
• Verification, to check what is happening, especially after alert messages
• Identification, to support the visitor registration
• Information, to inform emergency services through the control room of the actual state of things
• Documentation, to record data for later investigation, argumentation and accountability

ASB has a lot of experience with this for leading companies.

New: continuous remote analysis
ASB is an innovative company, and it invests a lot of energy in the development of innovative solutions that are based on camera footage. The rapid development of camera systems is made possible by new software, a strong increase in speed and volume of data transmission, and ever cheaper options for data storage. Actual visual observations make it possible to automatically report faster and faster.

Computerization of intelligence
The use of intelligence in the assessment of camera footage makes it possible to use the footage much more widely. A few examples of video content analysis software are:

• For high-risk locations (Retail, banks, MSEs), it is possible to create zones and to define rules. When certain observations are made, there is an automatic (alert) message or incentive to act. The security at locations will improve, if control rooms are involved in incidents sooner.
• Smart image recording at locations makes it possible to register the number of unique visitors, and to report on that. This information is invaluable for managers. To measure is to know, although in many cases, this is not common practice.
• By automatically addig (meta) information to images, it is possible to search image archives with the use of given criteria, just as one searches text documents. This is very useful in investigation and research, and for collecting evidence.

Saving options
Not only do the new video content analysis systems enhance security and prevent human suffering; they also offer financial savings and/or a reduction of surveillance personnel. This technology is a huge support for surveillance personnel in live monitoring and analysis of situations.
