Intelligent video for commercial real estate

Prospects for the use of video analytics for large objects of a business city, office centers, business parks and social institutions are becoming increasingly clear with the development of computer vision technologies.




Features of the video surveillance system at such sites are determined by the following factors:

• the presence of a multitude of tenant organizations with individual safety regulations;
• substantial flow of people, including employees and guests of organizations.

Despite the fact that these features make it difficult to implement video analytics (due to the complexity of formalizing and summarizing the signs of an abnormal situation), in general, this implementation is justified and can be used to solve specific problems:
')

1. Video analytics for access control systems (Access Control System): detection of violations in the turnstile area (passage without a pass, double passage); license plate recognition to control the parking barrier ; biometric profiling (comparison with the database and recognition of faces) of visitors.
2. Situational video analytics : detection of fire and smoke ; crowds of people ; fast motion; prohibited parking.
3. Intelligent elevators: determining the number of people waiting for an elevator in high-rise buildings can reduce the waiting time for an elevator during rush hours, as well as inform passengers about the load status of the elevator and the waiting time. By analogy with the intellectual traffic light, the control system can plan a greater number of elevator stops on the floors where most passengers have accumulated.
4. Tamper-alarm system : video signal quality control, detection of technical malfunctions of the camera and communication channels, detection of unauthorized interference with the video surveillance system.

An important function of an intelligent video surveillance system for office centers is the ability to provide tenants with controlled access to video data. Video surveillance and video analytics can thus become part of the service used by the tenant not only in the interests of security , but also to improve the quality of customer service , staff motivation and PR.
