Although the human operator watching the monitors in a command and control centre (CCC) is or should be rotated every few hours, anyone can be hypnotized by the work of control room surveillance.

A force-multiplier, behaviour recognition systems offer assistance to security officers and control room operators and police officers whether they're watching four cameras or thousands. Behaviour recognition software systems assist by monitoring, detecting, reporting and recording people, vehicles and objects, and giving visual on-screen alarms based on predetermined safety and security events.

Object and Behaviour Recognition

Real-time object or behaviour recognition that triggers an alarm includes:

• movement
• a stationary object that's been left behind
• a single person
• multiple persons
• a fast-moving person
• a fallen person
• a lurking person
• an erratically moving person
• converging people
• a single vehicle
• multiple vehicles
• a vehicle that's suddenly stopped
• a fast vehicle
• a slow vehicle
• a crowd forming
• a crowd dispersing

There are typical ways people will walk and act in a certain environment and by monitoring behaviour, behaviour recognition systems makes possible proactive security responses. What triggers an alarm can be customised to meet the needs of specific applications.

SensorTec Security is pleased to offer the most cutting-edge behaviour recognition technology available to the market today, enabling operators to be more efficient and responses to be more accurate.

The development of this technology enables computers to process images like humans do. Tasked with real-time monitoring and analysis, computers need to quickly make sense of the millions of pixels, each with varying colours and brightness values, which make up an image. Like the human vision process, behaviour recognition systems condense information contained in raw pixels.
