Deterrence & detection
> Challenge: Effective monitoring of video
streams from large numbers of cameras
> Response: Real-time, automated analysis
of multiple video feeds based on threats to
the customer presented through pre-defined
detection scenarios
> Outcome: Real-time alerts inform the security
operator and/or police regarding serious
security and safety breaches, allowing law
enforcement forces to respond to events,
as they unfold

Forensic search
> Challenge: Effective review of video
streams from large numbers of cameras
to investigate security and safety incidents
> Response: Rapid, automated review
and analysis of stored video based on
comprehensive user-defined search
parameters
> Outcome: Dramatic reduction in time spent
to investigate an incident and understand its
origin, enabling real cost and time savings
Increasing security & safety

Operations
> Challenge: Effective data mining to extract
operational information from a city-wide
network of cameras
> Response: Automated analysis and
extraction of large volumes of data about
person and vehicular movement, including
traffic flows, movement trends and motion
patterns, from multiple video feeds
> Outcome: Gain valuable insights to inform
monitoring and policing decisions for
public places as well as traffic planning
and management

Public buildings – surveillance challenges
Issue Response
Perimeter
protection
Deter intruders from breaking in by warning them
(announcement / alarm) that they have been spotted and are
being tracked
Detect breaches to internal fences to prompt action by security
guards
Unauthorized
access
Detect unauthorized access at sites by alerting to movement in
secured zones or after-hours
Asset
protection
Protect assets by alerting to illegal trespassing, assets being
removed
Loitering &
suspicious behavior
Alert to loitering of suspicious individuals at sensitive sites
