AI and video surveillance: a vision for the future

by Lorena Falero | Oct 25, 2023 | Blog

Artificial intelligence applied to video surveillance

Artificial Intelligence has arrived in our lives in style, and it’s here to stay. This cutting-edge technology has taken all sectors by storm, including video surveillance, where we are witnessing an increasing development of new AI-based tools and software.

These advances have led to considerable improvements, the management of corporate video surveillance systems, which is becoming increasingly efficient. Artificial Intelligence is already the present of video surveillance, and bodes well for the future. Want to know why?

The Transformational Role of Artificial Intelligence

If Artificial Intelligence has surprised us for anything, it is because it is capable of carrying out tasks that until now have always required human intelligence. Los sistemas diseñados en este campo de la informática aprenden, razonan y recuerdan como cualquier otra persona. They also do it much more quickly.

Therefore, Artificial Intelligence in surveillance has brought countless changes. AI tools not only reduce the time spent by company security operators on video surveillance, but also help prevent incidents.

Advantages of Artificial Intelligence in Video Surveillance

Thus, the novel tandem of AI and video surveillance brings with it multiple advantages, among others:

Increased efficiency. Before the advent of Artificial Intelligence, workers had to continuously monitor video surveillance images in control centers. Now, automation allows us to save us from these types of tasks, most of which are inefficient and tedious.

Greater precision. CCTV systems have thus become an active watchdog, capable of locating with much greater precision anything specific within all the images of an enclosure.

Integración con otras aplicaciones tecnológicas. Artificial Intelligence in surveillance allows us to use several tools and software at the same time, multiplying its benefits.

Real-time monitoring. The proactivity of these systems upon receiving any warning signal is instantaneous, which is essential for incident prevention.

Current AI Applications in Security and Surveillance

Where do we find Artificial Intelligence in the field of surveillance? Mainly, in software that is installed on the devices and can analyze both images and audio captured by the cameras to automatically recognize vehicles, people, objects, events and anomalous behavior.

Aware of the revolution that Artificial Intelligence has brought about, at Scati we did not want to be left behind. Innovation and development are part of our day-to-day business and have enabled us to create a complete platform for video surveillance management of your company, based on AI, Big Data and Business Intelligence tools, and capable of integrating with other security systems, such as access control or alarm centers.

Our goal is for you to get the most out of your CCTV system, and that means much more than simply increasing the security of your organization. It means exploiting valuable metadata, optimizing all your processes and, of course, taking your profitability to the highest level.

AI-Driven Future Scenarios

Are you wondering what the future of your company will be like if you bet on our AI-based solutions? We’ll tell you about it!

Real-Time Incident Prevention

Surely, at some time in your company, there has been a mishap that has forced you to review the security cameras to try to find the source of the problem, haven’t you?

Today, thanks to Artificial Intelligence in video surveillance, we can anticipate that problem and even prevent it from happening. As mentioned above, AI systems are capable of preventing incidents in real time.

In the past, CCTVs were used to review recorded images after a particular event had occurred, whereas in the past, CCTVs were used to review recorded images after a particular event had occurred, whereas in the past, CCTVs were used to review recorded images after a particular event had occurred. now we can detect any anomaly in time, making sure that the accident never happens.

Behavioral Analysis

AI behavioral analysis is another of its main functions, but… Do you know what exactly it consists of?

Artificial Intelligence systems can learn, by themselves, based on observation, what is normal and what is not. In video surveillance, detect patterns, normalize those data and build their own definitions, also automatizing alerts when something differs from its usual behavior. This allows you to act quickly, as well as saving you from major problems in the future.

Ethical Challenges and Considerations

Privacy and Data

However, although AI and video surveillance now definitely go hand in hand, there are still some unanswered questions, especially those related to regulations, privacy and ethical responsibility.

To what extent can these systems invade our personal data without explicit consent?

In this regard, the important thing is that the companies act with transparency and collect only the information strictly necessary to achieve your objectives.

Regulations and Liability in the Use of AI

In April 2021, the European Commission proposed the Artificial Intelligence Act.which seeks to introduce a common regulatory and legal framework for these systems. Of course, this standard appeals to a substantive behavior: the transparency and corporate responsibility.

In order to know how to act correctly and ethically in this new paradigm, our recommendation is that you have professional support when using AI-based video surveillance tools, preferably from the manufacturer of your security system.

And that is precisely what we offer you at Scati: we are not only your supplier of Artificial Intelligence systems for Video Surveillance, but we adapt our intelligent security solutions to all your needs, always based on trust and proximity, and offering you all the advice you need.

New ThermalScan series of the SCATI EYE range

by Beatriz | Jul 26, 2023 | Blog, products-cameras, SCATI News, solutions-infrastructures-critiques, solutions-sectores-industry

360º vision of large areas without blind spots

SCATI, manufacturer of intelligent video solutions, completes its video surveillance proposal with the addition of a new line of ThermalScan cameras to protect large geographic areas or areas with irregular or undefined perimeters such as natural land and sea areas, critical infrastructures, etc.

ThermalScan cameras detect, recognize and track an unlimited number of targets (people, ships, vehicles, etc.) automatically, over long distances and in the most adverse weather conditions and in total darkness, providing high-resolution images.

A camera of these characteristics is capable of replacing hundreds of conventional cameras, simplifying and minimizing the installation and maintenance costs of the system.

Thanks to their high image capture speed (360º/2 sec.) and the use of advanced optical image stabilization technology, these cameras cover surfaces of several kilometers in distance without leaving blind spots, which facilitates the continuous monitoring of large distances and also minimizes false alarms due to the high data update frequency.

The range of SCATI ThermalScande cameras depends on the size of the lens or focal length, the resolution or its location. The shorter the focal length, the larger the field of view. The higher the resolution, the sharper the images will be. The fewer obstacles between the camera and the object of interest, the better the chances of capturing it in images.

For this reason, and depending on the distance of the area to be monitored, SCATI offers two ranges of cameras with different optics.

Mini Range

The Mini range of thermal radar cameras is ideal for monitoring areas up to 1.5 km away: perimeter around the airport, prison, etc.

Periscope Range

The Periscope Range is most suitable in wide area scenarios such as border and coastal surveillance where the objects of interest are at greater distances.

For the protection of the areas closest to the premises to be protected, the thermal radar cameras can have associated SCATI EYE PTZ Domes, with images already in the visible spectrum, which will automatically position themselves at those points where the intrusion is detected, with the aim of being able to identify the object or person that generated the alert.
These cameras meet the most demanding needs and have multiple applications:

Border protection: Maintaining territorial integrity, preventing illegal immigration, drug smuggling, etc.
Ports and Airports: External threat detection, fire detection, etc.
Coastal and maritime surveillance: infrastructure protection, detection of boardings of docked ships, drug smuggling or attacks.
Critical infrastructures and utilities: Full 24×7 protection
Nature reserves: Detection of intruders, poachers, illegal harvesting, fires.

SCATI VAS, new SCATI software module

by Beatriz | Jun 9, 2023 | Blog, Blog, SCATI News, Uncategorized

This new module identifies and recognizes any code that appears in the scene to extract its information or to track the object or person to which it is associated

SCATI, a manufacturer of intelligent video, access control and system integration solutions, announces the launch of SCATI VAS (Video Anlytics Server), an application that enables multiple types of intelligent video processing to be performed centrally.

SCATI VAS is a self-developed application that allows the processing of information from any camera in the park, analog or IP, without the need for on-board video analytics.

Centralized processing (as opposed to on-the-edge processing) allows users to have much more powerful and accurate analytics engines for obvious reasons, since a server has more hardware resources to do the image processing than a camera.

For some models of SCATI VISION recorders, SCATI VAS will have the possibility to run on the recording equipment itself. In other scenarios where the number of cameras on which to apply analytics is high, it will be possible to have different dedicated servers for image processing distributed over the network, even in different physical environments, performing the configuration of all of them remotely and centrally from a single operator station.

While the first analytics incorporated in SCATI VAS is designed for detect and recognize barcodes, QR, Datamatrix, etc. on the images captured by the CCTV system cameras; our R&D Department is currently working on new analytics which will be gradually incorporated into SCATI VAS.

By means of this first analytics it will be possible to perform a visual verification of the passage of goods, assets or even people through the areas covered by the cameras of the system, so the application scenarios are very diverse as it would have a potential use from logistics or industrial environments, to retail or even for public safety. Lo único que se precisa es que el código adherido al bien o activo, o que porte en su ropa o EPI la persona, tenga un tamaño mínimo de píxeles en la imagen capturada por la cámara.

SCATI VAS complements the SCATI platform and integrates with the different modules of the SUITE VISION . SCATI VAS identifies and recognizes any code in real time, notifies SCATI WATCHER immediately by alarm and allows the visualization of images associated with the alarm through a pop-up. Moreover, the metadata generated are recognized by SCATI RECKON, SCATI’s Business Intelligence module, which centralizes the information to facilitate searches through customized filters or display it in a synthesized form through customized reports and graphs.

With this new milestone, SCATI reinforces its commitment to offer intelligent video solutions to its customers, enabling them to manage their facilities beyond security.
