CCTV and Video Analytics

CCTV is a visual surveillance technology designed for monitoring a variety of environments and activities. Potential applications for both security and management through system integration, have greatly increased its versatility and cost effectiveness. In the past decade, the use of CCTV has grown to unprecedented levels– developments in technology have greatly increased its popularity over recent years. As technology has evolved, CCTV is now used not only for security, but also as a management tool assisting health and safety, productivity and personnel management.

Digitally recorded images are now of far greater quality. Specific footage can be recalled at the touch of a button, and systems can be integrated with local and wide area networks allowing images to be viewed from one or more personal computers.

When coupled with Video Analytics CCTV becomes a truly powerful and intelligent visual management tool, automatically alerting the CCTV operator  to unusual events. Intelligent Video Analysis Software can be used for Facial Recognition, Automatic Number Plate Recognition, Intruder Detection, Slip and Fall Detection, People and Vehicle Counting, Suspicious Behaviour Analysis and Tracking, Graffiti Detection, Theft Detection and Abandoned Object Detection in a Crowd.

According to surveillance software providers iOmniscient, an operator watching only two monitors misses 45% of action after 10 minutes and after 22 minutes misses 95% of action- and that applies to a relatively empty scene: in a busy scene they see can see even less action and can hardly ever detect a stationary or missing object.

Good AI software will alert the user to events as they unfold, so they are able to take immediate action and thereby prevent incidents.

As with all technologies, CCTV can be as simple or as complex as the situation demands. At 2020 Vision we are experienced in all aspects of closed circuit television including colour, monochrome, day, night, static and fully functional surveillance, networking control facilities, VCR and hard disk recording and storage facilities. We have installed CCTV in an extensive range of environments such as universities, hospitals, casinos, sports stadia and government offices to name but a few.

Please see our case studies for further details.
