Video surveillance is a vital component to securing the assets and facilities which are so important to basic needs and economic viability. Trying to prepare and predict how or where an attack will occur while being challenged to provide security with very few or no human assets to provide security is a daunting task for security personnel.
Security teams around the world have been using AISight to enhance their video surveillance operations across Critical Infrastructure facilities primarily due to its dynamic abilities and cost efficient installation and maintenance requirements.
Since AISight does not look to detect against specific behavior or need to have “supervised learning”, it has the flexibility to understand, without intervention, the difference between wrong-way traffic, objects appearing in areas where objects don’t usually travel, or activity occurring in restricted areas. For example, AISight has provided notification of smoke appearing within the field of view in areas where video surveillance was being utilized to watch entrance/egress areas. An event, which could not be planned or pre-determined, AISight is able to deliver a level of awareness of threats or potential threats in real-time.
Given AISight’s ability to understand complex and harsh environments, whether intense foliage, dramatic shifts in weather or over water/marine backgrounds, the unique abilities of the system allow security operators greater confidence in utilizing their investments in video surveillance. For example, video surveillance feeds utilizing AISight, such as perimeter’s with high foliage or complex lighting environments provide security operators with the daunting task of monitoring activity 24/7, while their video surveillance usage may encompass hundreds or thousands of cameras. AISight has demonstrated the ability to understand the difference between moving trees and shrubs versus human activity to provide notification of suspicious activity. Feedback, based on performance, has credited AISight as a key driver to providing real-time situational awareness in areas where other technology platforms simply do not possess a capability remotely close.
- Law Enforcement & Homeland Security
- Military Installations
- Federal, State and Local Law Enforcement Agencies
- Border Patrol
- International Embassies
With hundreds of different types of assets and responsibilities encompassing various law enforcement agencies, the ability to maximize video and CCTV for surveillance and counter-surveillance is critical. These assets, which can be located in dozens or hundreds of locations, present enormous operational challenges to monitor feeds effectively to distribute useful and actionable intelligence.
Various law enforcement and government agencies are using AISight as a critical piece of their video surveillance strategy. AISight’s ability to provide notification of suspicious and unusual events in city and urban centers, harsh foliage and environmental conditions and other applications has proven to be vital to security.
Within one military installation, AISight is being utilized on a challenging beachfront setting, where various cameras are installed to provide immediate warning of potential threats, activity in restricted zones and any other information would be important for the base protection team to gain situational awareness. This setting provides unique challenges for video surveillance with low and raising tides of the ocean, foliage and non-human activity. Since AISight is able to learn the difference between the ocean, human and non-human activity, it has aided the security team to receive relevant information in a timely manner to react to any potential threats or activity.
Another example of this activity points to AISight’s installation at a key asset for a State entity. Within this asset, placed in an open and public area, with a major security event in recent years, the only software platform which could be employed had to demonstrate its performance to deliver a manageable amount of intelligence since false alerts was a severe challenge from a prior platform. AISight’s ability to meet the customer’s expectation, without supervision, through its ability to understand the different types of vehicular traffic, human and non-human activity in both indoor and outdoor settings, have made AISight a key component of the video surveillance strategy.
- City & Urban Environments
- City & Municipal Surveillance
- Smart Initiatives
- Parks and Outdoor Centers
One of the fastest growing uses to apply video surveillance is city and urban environments as safety and economic viability are key drivers for current and prospective commerce and businesses. The ability for cities to demonstrate their commitment to security, especially leveraging technology, is quickly becoming a powerful tool to assist law enforcement, as well as market to prospective businesses and events to countries, states and cities.
AISight’s distinctive capabilities to observe, learn, analyze and respond to all objects and behavior within the video surveillance field of view allows its users to gain a heightened level of situational awareness from their CCTV networks.
An example of how AISight is enhancing security through video surveillance can be demonstrated is through an installation which experiences human and vehicular traffic of hundreds of thousands of objects per day! Since AISight has the ability to learn the “normal” behavior of all types of objects it allows the security operators to gain awareness of suspicious activity, such as a fire, smoke, a potential security event or anything else that a security team might deem of interest. One specific example in this type of environment is notification due to ambulance arriving on the scene; suspicious activity at/around trash containers and unusual activity in the late hours of the night.
Given AISight’s ability to catalog and understand countless number of events, it is rich with data to bring awareness to the most unusual types of events which could present a threat. Since activity such as an active shooter in an open setting would likely result in humans dropping to the ground or fleeing an area, AISight becomes a real-time tool to bring awareness to the Command Center, whether on location or from a remote location hundreds or thousands of miles away. AISight is truly an extension to the security team’s ability to gain the most benefit from video surveillance.
