• Enhanced Visuals
A video surveillance system that can offer continuous coverage is necessary. Officers cannot be in all places at all times, but the cameras can. Video analytics can also deliver specific inmate facial recognition capabilities. Spending countless hours searching footage for a specific inmate suspect is now a thing of the past, as the software will do the work in a matter of seconds.
• Notifying Suspicious Activity
Video analytic software can be programmed to identify specific activities and activate an alarm or alert system when the activity is happening. Systems can also be programmed to notify specific scene content and trigger an audible alarm or just delineate the scene for review later.
• Video Summarization
Video analytics can offer a condensed clip of all motion within a particular time frame. The data is continuously developed and stored for review. A summary can be offered for the selected time and is condensed for a more efficient review. The summary can give counts of objects like people and vehicles.
• Video Heat Mapping
In real-time imaging, human movement can be identified through-out camera scenes for a specific duration of time. This could come in handy for monitoring security in areas of facilities that are protected from any entry.
• Mobile Capability
Just like any other technology are available on a handheld or laptop device, so are video analytics. The data can be made available and accessible through mobile devices, where video analytics can be analyzed through a secure login by users. Essential operational decisions can be made in an emergency by correction agency administrators while away from the facility.
