What are Video Analytics?
Video analytics is one of the most popular types of CCTV software. It is an advanced technology that uses an algorithm to read and process a CCTV system’s video footage data, which then, based on the data identified, can be set up to trigger or perform security-related actions and processes.
How do video analytics work?
Video analytics work by monitoring current CCTV camera footage. The software is searching for the chosen activity trigger set up by the security team and will send an alert notification when it has been detected. How video analytics identifies activity, is determined by the parameters set when the software is set up. These parameters tell the software what to look for and the process in which to alert the necessary team.
What can video analytics do?
Video analytics can be set up to identify key data such as certain individuals, vehicles, objects as well as their movements and appearances. Once a trigger has been set up and activated, an alarm will sound to the security team monitoring the CCTV system. They will then be alerted to the incident and can carry out their relevant duties. The use of video analytics can therefore eliminate any potential security breach or risk caused by human error, due to it carrying out an automatic and reliable process.
There are literally hundreds of ways you can utilise the data from your CCTV System. We have highlighted some of the uses of video analytics below.
Reduce Workplace Accidents
Risk and hazards can be identified with the use of video analytics, which can significantly increase the health & safety of a site by reducing the likelihood of accidents.
PPE Detection
Using PPE Detection function can detect whether employees in plants are wearing Personal Protective Equipment as required, which can significantly improve work safety of employees, and efficiently reduce the input of safety management personnel.
Detects compliance of wearing Personal Protective Equipment in the site. Attributes that can be detected include hard hats, reflective vests, masks, glasses, top colour and bottom colour.
Health And Safety Training
You can provide real-time intelligence to aid in visually training the team on what you see is going wrong. By being able to select multiple views via single cameras to track a process point by point, you can pinpoint areas of concern which will help you streamline your business and stop deficiencies in their tracks.

Video demonstration of the features of video analysis:
People Counting
People Counting can track and process moving human body targets to realize accurate statistics of people entering, leaving and currently within the monitored area. This feature provides customers with valuable data for business report analysis. It provides statistics with up to 98% counting accuracy.
The statistics of daily people count is very important for business analysis. It is one of the most important data for the operation manager. This data enables clients to align staff and customer-to-staff ratio during peak hours using the traffic data.
Facial Recognition
Face recognition is mainly used for identification. Due to the popularity of video surveillance, many video surveillance systems urgently need a kind of rapid identification technology under in order to quickly identify people in remote and realize intelligent alarm beforehand.
Our Face Recognition solutions offer high accuracy of detection rate and recognition rate with its advanced AI technology, and can provide such functions as Face Detection, Face Comparison, Intelligent Search, Face Image Search, Face Database Management, Mobile App Linkage, Information Display, Video Full Color, etc. to improve user experience.
Unattended Items & Baggage
Another use of video analytics is to identify unattended items or baggage, both of which could be a huge security risk, especially in areas of high security and concern such as airports, train stations, shopping centres, museums and more.
Fire Detection
The use of video analytics to detect fire is incredibly useful. It acts as an extra layer of safety to your fire system, especially in the stages whereby heat or smoke have not set off the alarm.
ANPR Technology
Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras work in conjunction with our vehicle barrier system technology to allow automatic vehicle entry or exit using a database of authorised number plates. ANPR cameras can also monitor car park capacity, provide a record of deliveries and alert when suspicious, blocked or unauthorised vehicles attempt to enter site.
