Video surveillance, which was originally created for incident investigation, has been expanded over the years with dozens of incredible video analytics capabilities. Let’s look at what modern video surveillance solutions are capable of.

1. (Not) banal intrusion detection

Intrusion detection using motion detection is no longer a know-how, but over the years this function has been expanded, and now, for example, it can:

  • Work according to schedule;
  • React only to people or cars;
  • Record a person’s face or car number, compare information with a database;
  • Detect intrusion by the sound of glass breaking, screaming, the presence of too many people, etc.

2. Automation and optimization of processes

Thanks to artificial intelligence (AI), video surveillance systems can now recognize not only objects, but also certain events or behavior. The automatic issuance of a fine for traffic violations is an excellent example of how such a system works. AI in the Xeoma program makes unique automation scenarios possible: analyzing the time a person spends at a cafe table, detecting people without helmets on a construction site, counting the number of truck unloads, detecting smoke and fire, etc. Also, Xeoma developers can add the required functions at the client’s request.

3. Access control

Few people know that modern access control systems (ACS for short) are in no way inferior to professional security guards. For example, they allow:

  • Recognize license plates, keep records of them and trigger reactions when certain license plates are detected – for example, open a barrier;
  • Recognize people’s faces, keep track of them and trigger reactions if a person in the frame is successfully recognized – for example, open a turnstile or turn on an alarm. Dual authentication is available if necessary;
  • Create software and hardware systems based on facial and license plate recognition.

4. Collection of statistics and analysis of visitors

AI-powered video surveillance can also act as an effective marketing tool:

  • «Emotion Detector” will help assess the level of satisfaction of visitors with the product range, interior or service.
  • «The crowd detector will detect if there is a queue at the checkout.
  • «Eye tracking will help you find out whether people are paying attention to a banner, billboard or promotion, what products are popular, etc.
  • The visitor counting function will allow you to evaluate the effectiveness of promotions based on customer traffic.

Thanks to intelligent analysis, modern video surveillance solutions like Xeoma can solve various problems both in home video surveillance and in corporate systems of any level. And even if there is no solution for some problem yet, we advise you to follow the news – it may appear in the very near future!

Xeoma invites installers, resellers, manufacturers and dealers of video surveillance equipment to cooperate. We will be glad to offer you favorable conditions!
