Perimeter protection

Thermal cameras with built-in video analytics software are the latest perimeter protection solutions. They can “see” in complete darkness and provide automatic alerts when a person enters a pre-defined area within the camera’s field-of-view. The cameras can be set to detect movement and warn of possible intruders in real time. Security teams can acknowledge suspect activity, and visually verify what’s going on before taking relevant action. These systems can easily be integrated with other IP cameras, floodlights, or loudspeakers to deter possible intruders.

People counting

Popular in the retail industry, video-based counting solutions reliably measure footfall in stores and at checkouts. Understanding how the number of customers fluctuates over time helps retailers improve promotions and adjust staff levels. However, people counting is also useful at airports, museums and everywhere where detailed visitor statistics are needed.

Sound detection

Smart cameras not only see, they can also hear. Many security incidents are preceded by some kind of noise – this could be loud aggressive shouting, glass breaking or tires screeching. ‘Listening’ cameras with sound detection capabilities can add great value to a security system.

Facial recognition

Facial recognition not only enhances security, but also help organizations create a better customer experience. Cameras with facial recognition software take only milliseconds to match faces. They use real-time video with a database of previously stored images, which are categorized according to the application – whether for access control, VIP identification, or to pinpoint wanted/unwanted individuals. Systems like these are already in use at airports, bus/train stations and casinos, to name just a few examples.

License plate recognition

Automated license plate recognition has traditionally been costly. Systems were based on proprietary technology, from dedicated, specific hardware to server based software applications. Today, it is possible to use standard IP cameras in combination with video analytics software. This reduces costs and improves scalability. It also makes license plate recognition relevant for a larger number of application areas like automating entry and exit to car parks, collecting parking fees, enabling free traffic flow on toll roads, and access control. Intelligent video allows users to get much more out of their video surveillance infrastructure. Combined with additional data – including audio, POS and data from IoT sensors such as smoke detectors, environment, parking, water, or metering sensors and smartphones – the possibilities for advanced analytics applications are remarkable.

Detect smoke and other dangers in critical environments in a very early stage

Unlike many detection technologies, video analytics do not need to make physical contact with smoke or dust. They immediately ‘see’ the danger when and where it originates. That’s why it’s so fast and reliable. Araani’s video analytics are also fully tailorable to your infrastructure.
