Critical infrastructures: secure environment under control

Critical infrastructures: secure environment under control

by | Jul 29, 2024 | Blog, SCATI News, solutions-infrastructures-critiques

The critical infrastructures are facilities that provide essential services for the operation of the company and whose disruption or interruption can have very serious consequences. As attacks evolve, technology needs to stay one step ahead to quickly detect, prevent, and respond to any security threat.

At SCATI we are committed to innovation and offer robust solutions to ensure the protection of critical infrastructures, preparing to face both current and future challenges.
The systems integration is one of the most useful solutions for the protection of this type of locations, as it unifies relevant information from several subsystems under a single user interface, simplifying daily operations.

With this type of tool, it is possible to integrate information from systems such as videovigilancia, accesos, intrusión, perimeter detection and even the air-conditioning and lighting of the facilities.
This allows operators to access all critical data from a single platform in the shortest possible time, because every second counts.

How to select a platform?

When selecting one platform or another, the following aspects should be taken into account:

  • Interoperability between systems. The main objective of an integration platform is to combine heterogeneous systems from different manufacturers smoothly and efficiently under a single interface.
    Therefore, it is important that the platform supports the communication standards or protocols of the market (MODBUS).
  • The platform must be open, flexible and scalable. And it must allow integrating, unifying and adding as many systems as the organization requires over time in a holistic manner.
  • Traceability and auditing. This platform must have the capability to track and audit all activities and events for subsequent incident investigation and accountability purposes.
  • Procedures and automation. The system must offer the possibility of creating specific response procedures for events occurring in your facilities, such as alarm activation or blocking of areas, for immediate action.
    This increases the efficiency of the system thanks to the coordinated action of all its elements.
  • Generate detailed reports. To evaluate the efficiency of systems and comply with regulatory requirements, thus allowing to correct or optimize internal procedures.

ThermalScan cameras

Moreover, the use of ThermalScan cameras is growing as an additional security measure for the protection of large geographical areas or with irregular perimeters or undefined with no blind spots.

ThermalScan cameras detect, recognize and track an unlimited number of targets (people, boats, vehicles, etc.) automatically, from a great distance and in the most adverse weather conditions and in total darkness, providing high resolution images. A camera with these characteristics is capable of replacing hundreds of conventional cameras. by simplifying and minimizing installation and maintenance costs of the system.

In summary, the use of system integration platforms and ThermalScan technology is essential to ensure safety in critical infrastructures, as unifies management, provides advanced analytics and simplifies daily operations.

    Reducing false alarms with AI

    Reducing false alarms with AI

    by | Jul 23, 2024 | Blog, SCATI News

    Nowadays, security and data analysis are fundamental pillars for any organization that wishes to maintain a secure and efficient environment.
    At SCATI, we know the importance of having accurate technology that minimizes false positive situations, with the objective of providing advanced solutions that not only increase security, but also optimize the use of information through artificial intelligence (AI) and Business Intelligence (BI) tools.

    The introduction of video analytics with artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized security, significantly reducing the number of false alarms that previously occurred.
    These alarms not only generate unnecessary costs, but also affect the credibility of security systems and divert attention from critical events.
    Implementing AI in video analytics directly addresses this problem, improving the accuracy and efficiency of surveillance.

    Scati offers both SCATI EYE on-the-edge camera video analytics and SCATI ANALYTICS server video analytics that complement and provide a comprehensive and flexible solution that maximizes system efficiency.

    A comprehensive solution

    SCATI’s AI video analytics can be integrated with your business security cameras, collecting and processing data in real time to detect true and relevant alarms with high accuracy and subsequent complex, long-term analysis.
    Thanks to its advanced algorithms, it is able to filter out irrelevant events such as those caused by animals, adverse weather conditions or unimportant movements.

    How it works

    The use of AI in video analytics starts with the collection of data through system cameras, which may or may not have AI in the camera itself, such as some SCATI EYE models.
    Subsequently, in the case of using cameras without video analytics, this data is processed by SCATI ANALYTICS, whose algorithms have been trained with large volumes of information to recognize different types of events.
    The result is a system that can accurately identify real threats, such as intrusions or suspicious behavior, while ignoring trivial events.

    This capability not only reduces the number of false alarms, but also optimizes the response of security personnel, enabling faster and more effective intervention in critical situations.
    SCATI ANALYTICS can be applied to object classification, crowd monitoring and the detection of anomalous behavior such as falls, intrusions, wandering or people running.
    The analytics available in SCATI EYE cameras allow facial detection and recognition, license plate reading, waiting time measurement, heat mapping or people counting.

    Continuous learning and adaptability

    SCATI’s AI video analytics solutions continuously learn and adapt, improving their accuracy over time and further reducing false alarms.
    This adaptability is crucial in dynamic environments where behavior patterns can change rapidly, ensuring that the security system is always up-to-date and effective.

    Integration of AI with security systems

    An important aspect of implementing SCATI ANALYTICS is that it complements and enhances the capabilities of already installed cameras, providing a cost-effective and efficient solution for security modernization.
    In this way, it is not necessary to completely replace the current security infrastructure.

    Metadata extraction with AI and its use in BI tools

    The reduction of false alarms and the improved accuracy of the technology also have a significant impact on the quality of the extracted metadata.
    SCATI’s systems generate high-quality metadata that can be used, thanks to powerful Big Data tools, for a variety of Business Intelligence (BI) applications, such as SCATI RECKON.

    This metadata enables companies to gain a deeper and more accurate view of their operations, facilitating informed decision making, identifying trends, improving operational efficiency and detecting business opportunities.

    In summary, AI applied to video analytics represents a significant advance in reducing false alarms and improving overall security. By providing greater accuracy in detecting real threats and enabling faster and more effective response, these systems improve the operational efficiency and credibility of security services.

    Scati Access

    The continuous evolution and adaptation of AI ensures that security solutions will continue to improve, providing more reliable and effective protection in the future.

    At Scati, we are committed to innovation and excellence in data security and analytics.
    Our AI-powered solutions not only protect, but also transform information into strategic value for your business.
