In the last 10 years, both the capabilities of and compatibility with other security technologies have seen substantial technical advancements for CCTV surveillance systems.
According to professionals in the field, there are three main applications for CCTV systems: as a deterrent, as a forensic tool, and as an interdictor.
CCTV surveillance systems were first just a deterrent. Frequently, the notion that “Big Brother” was watching things served as a sufficient deterrent to wrongdoing. CCTV surveillance systems, on the other hand, have lost their novelty and are less effective as a fundamental deterrent, especially for unlawful entry or violent crime.
As recording, storage, and software like video analytics have improved, CCTV surveillance systems have evolved into a forensic tool that is used to gather evidence after an incident has happened.
But as monitoring, alarm, and access control devices are increasingly easily connected with CCTV surveillance systems, the third application of CCTV is gaining popularity: assisting security professionals in identifying and stopping security breaches as they happen, or even before they do.
Intelligent video algorithms, such as complex motion detection, may spot odd walking patterns and warn a guard to keep an eye on a certain camera screen. A briefcase or other suspicious thing that has been left somewhere it shouldn’t be can also be recognized by object-recognition algorithms, as can a person who may just be idling. To allow suitable action, the system can again transmit a warning to a guard who is observing.
The facial recognition system in intelligent videos is the most sophisticated. The majority of specialists concur that it will still be a few years before this technology is used effectively in the commercial sector.
Traditionally, a computer system in a security room that receives video feeds from a number of CCTV cameras has clever video algorithms. However, in the near future, manufacturers will create cameras that have the ability to process the intelligent video algorithm directly inside the camera.
Another innovation that’s becoming more common in CCTV cameras is the wide dynamic range. When a scene has a significant quantity of both bright and dark areas, cameras with a wide dynamic range may still capture fine details. Not possible with conventional cameras.
