Video analysis for greater safety and faster decision-making

Capturing video data is only the first step. Modern video analytics helps to automatically detect events, monitor processes and find relevant information more quickly.

What is video analytics?

Video analytics enhances traditional video surveillance with intelligent functions for the automatic analysis of image data.

Instead of constantly monitoring camera feeds manually, events can be automatically detected, assessed and reported. This reduces the workload on security staff and ensures that relevant incidents are identified more quickly.

Video analytics can be used both in real time and retrospectively to analyse data that has already been stored.

Two perspectives on video analysis

Proactive video analysis

Detect incidents as soon as they occur

Typical examples of use cases:

  • Perimeter protection
  • Monitoring of critical areas
  • Access control
  • Object classification
  • Detecting rule violations
  • Process monitoring

Objective: To react quickly before an event turns into a problem.

Forensic analysis

Investigating incidents after the fact

Previously recorded video data is searched for people, vehicles, objects or specific incidents.

Typical examples of use cases:

  • Incident investigation
  • Preservation of evidence
  • Root cause analysis
  • Tracking movements
  • Searching through large datasets

Objective: To find relevant information more quickly and understand the connections.

Challenges in modern video surveillance

Smart detection rather than constant viewing

Staff cannot keep an eye on every camera at all times.

Rapid response to critical incidents

Security-related incidents must be detected at an early stage.

Growing volumes of data

As the number of cameras increases, manual analysis becomes increasingly time-consuming.

Complex security and operational processes

Video analytics helps to monitor defined procedures and rules.

Rapid incident investigation

In the event of an incident, relevant image data must be available quickly.

Staff shortages and efficiency requirements

Automated analysis takes the pressure off security staff and control centres.

Typical areas of application

Critical Infrastructure

Early detection of security-related incidents. 

Energy & Utilities

Monitoring of extensive facilities and critical areas.

Logistics

Monitoring of goods flows, vehicle movements and operational processes.

Industry

Detection of anomalies and security incidents, and support for security processes. 

Public sector

Protection of buildings, infrastructure and sensitive areas.

From incident detection to forensic analysis

Modern security concepts combine both approaches:,

  • Detecting incidents at an early stage
  • Triggering alarms automatically
  • Analysing incidents afterwards
  • Understanding the context
  • Documenting findings

This creates a seamless process from the detection of an incident through to its follow-up.
