In our blog, we have demonstrably argued for some benefits
and application of the Video Analytics technology. For successful application
of Video Analytics however, empirical evidence shows that several critical
factors that need to be taken into account. According to Aimetis, a video security and surveillance
management company, lists environmental factors and computational factors as
the key determinants of a successful use of Video Analytics. Among others, camera
angel, weather conditions, background lightning levels can all impact the video
analytics algorithms. In addition, computational factors such as processing
power of the recorded segments, resolution and frame rate as well as storage capacity
all play a vita role in the final delivered value to clients using a Video Analytics
service. Nonetheless Aimetis also states that: ”repeat occurrences of false
alarms, combined with undetected events, can significantly deter end users from
using video analytics”.
With regards to previous application of Video Analytics, the
absence of sophisticated processing hardware, autonomous and intelligent camera
that can track movement transformed today’s application of Video Analytics to a
more conventional and labor intensive practice. For example, in a secure environment
using cameras, previous practice would require a classic situation room, with
security personnel to monitor and judge the video content. While Video Analytics
does rationalize some of the costs, the benefits of Video Analytics is still in
continuous development. Environmental factors described above are difficult to control
while cost of processing and detecting desired result from video analytics could
equally depend on the funds a company is ready to invest in the technology and
devise how such cost can offset conventional video surveillance methods
described above.
However, as the world continues to move toward an ever more
sophisticated information society, the development and forceful implementation of
Video Analytics Technology is here to stay and keep evolving toward higher value
and delivered results for its clients.
