A remote visual response centre or RVRC for short is the core of any security surveillance operation. Images from CCTV cameras monitoring the site in question are fed back to the remote visual response centre where until recently people would watch large banks of monitors. Their job was to watch for suspicious behaviour and raise [...]
Founded in 1994 by The City University in Hong Kong and dedicated engineering researchers TeleEye Monitoring Group have since become leaders in the development, sales and marketing of CCTV (close circuit television) and DVR (digital video recorder) technologies.
TeleEye Monitoring have a vision to become the most technologically advanced supplier of CCTV systems in the global [...]
Video content analysis is very useful when sorting through recorded CCTV surveillance footage. It analyses all the live and recorded information for any suspicious or unusual behavioural patterns. By doing so it provides information on how people act under certain circumstances. This is an advantageous piece of technology, as it is more reliable than human [...]
In a relatively new field of expertise there are only a few reputable video analytics providers and consultancy firms. Video Analytics is one of those few providers who have close contact with academic institutes studying and striving to improve video analytics technology as well as employing staff with many years worth of experience in the [...]
In such a specialist field video analytics consultancy staff are there to provide detailed and impartial advice on CCTV systems and video analytics. Are biometrics required, or facial recognition software? What is the best system to monitor for counterflow? These are the sorts of queries that video analytics consultancy staff are trained to answer.
Mistakes in [...]
Video analytics is the biggest growing surveillance technology of today. Monitoring CCTV footage has become much more accurate, as video analytics (VA) analyses CCTV footage for specific data. Video analytics can study all kinds of environments and situations from monitoring people’s behaviours and attitudes in a supermarket to the movement of objects in an airport [...]
Sterile zone monitoring is where CCTV cameras monitor access-restricted areas. There is a wide choice of CCTV systems available for reliable sterile zone monitoring, including motion detection. In advanced systems, biometrics or facial recognition may also be applied.
Using biometrics in a sterile zone will identify anyone who is not authorised to be there. In sterile [...]
Non-motion detection does not pay attention to the motion in a scene but instead concentrates on the still images and monitors the background. This is unlike other video surveillance systems, which all concentrate on moving objects. Non-motion detection CCTV systems will ‘remember’ everything in the static background and by doing so will notice if anything [...]
Motion detection is the action of sensing physical movement in a particular area. Some CCTV systems are designed to start working only when movement is detected in the monitored area. These systems are usually installed in restricted areas where CCTV camera activation is likely to mean there are trespassers.
Once the motion detection system becomes active [...]
IP security, also known as IPsec is a suite of protocols that secure communications, or in the case of CCTV, images by encrypting a data stream. In other words, the information sent from the CCTV camera is made unreadable to anyone not on the network.
Information sent through CCTV systems is usually confidential, especially if it [...]
