Video Surveillance has been used as a
security tool for a long time. The idea of having a control room from where
guards or operators could watch what was happening at different places at the
same time made patrolling activities cheaper and more comprehensive. With time,
more and more cameras (and monitors) started being used in order to ensure that
every inch of a building or an area was being covered by the system. However,
the vast amount of images generated made it complex to manage all that
information. As it became increasingly harder for humans to deal with such high
quantities of different images in different screens at the same time, machine
intelligence then was introduced to facilitate data management. The newest
thing today is the use of Intelligent Video Analytics (IVA) to help in real
time event detection and also in post event analysis. These might include motion
and intrusion detection, asset protection, pinpoint an event in recorded video,
etc. This technology helps to increase productivity and efficiency of video
surveillance systems and the people who monitor them, focusing on automating
video analysis and security alerts, therefore reducing the need for manual work
and also decreasing monitoring costs.
IVA is becoming a vital component in the
growing surveillance systems industry and it is projected to be the most
important technology segment of that sector. The IVA market is expected to grow
to $867.8 million by 2017, according to some studies.
