Organizations are increasingly incorporating video in their security systems. This trend is the result of decreasing costs for video technology combined with higher expectations by the courts for visual documentation of incidents.

Live video can be monitored by security personnel in real time to expand their coverage and enable quick evaluation of potential issues. Recorded video provides a valuable visual record to support investigations and prosecution following an event. But some of the most powerful benefits of video are realized through analytics that constantly, automatically analyze the images from your cameras.

Using analytics, your system can identify specific people or vehicles, and trigger an alert if they are detected. It’s like having an ever-vigilant security guard on duty around the clock. Video analytics extend the capabilities of your security staff by automatically alerting them to potential threats as they occur.

While most use analytics to identify threats, upscale retailers, hospitality providers and other service organizations use facial recognition to identify high-value clients and VIPs so they can be greeted appropriately.
