A.I.’s role in security monitoring is revolutionizing how properties are guarded. Delve into the advancements and benefits that A.I. brings to security services.
Over the last decade, new tech has revolutionized how commercial and industrial properties are being guarded and protected. Advanced thermal and infrared cameras along with 5G and satellite solutions have helped prevent criminal activities at construction sites, utility fields, parking lots and office buildings across America. Perhaps no tech solution has been more valuable to the physical security industry than artificial intelligence…and over time, this powerful tool will only grow stronger.
How is A.I. being used by security service companies?
Think for a moment about what live-video surveillance was like just twenty years ago, when one security officer had to monitor dozens of cameras all at once. Operator fatigue, boredom and other human factors left a lot of room for missing intrusion events.
Today’s smart security cameras have analytics built in that can identify anomalies and potential threats in real-time, alerting the officer to specific items of interest.
For example, if a human or vehicle enters an area of the monitored property, the camera will detect it and send an alert to the monitoring agent, who will then make the determination if there’s a need to take action.
In short, the security camera is no longer a passive sensor but a tool that provides real-time security assessments and assistance. And because of machine learning, the A.I.-powered monitoring system will adapt and evolve for as long as it’s deployed.
What is machine learning?
Stanford University describes machine learning as “the science of getting computers to act without being explicitly programmed.” In terms of security monitoring, that means the video surveillance system is collecting and cataloging data so that over time, it will learn to distinguish between a threatening object (like an intruder or an unauthorized vehicle) and a non-threatening one (like an animal or a floating plastic bag). This helps to reduce false alarms and requires less manual intervention.
How A.I. live-video monitoring benefits businesses.
The opportunities that A.I. security monitoring presents for security service companies directly benefits the clients that they serve:
- It allows you to cover more ground.
Leveraging A.I. helps scrub out the noise, reducing unnecessary alerts so officers can focus on genuine threats. With fewer false alarms, security officers are free to monitor larger areas.
- It’s safer for on-site officers and patrol units.
With more accurate analytics, on-site guards and officers receive a more detailed picture of any suspicious or unauthorized activity, providing key information that can save them from entering a potentially dangerous situation.
- It leads to faster response times.
A.I. monitoring leads to fewer alerts, which in turn leads to quicker analysis and decision-making by monitoring agents. And since it’s all happening in real-time, this leads to faster response times since any report law enforcement will be prioritized as an incident in progress.
- It’s cost-effective.
The increased competence of A.I. monitoring allows officers and guards to do more with less and can save companies on labor and equipment costs.
