Is Your School’s Video Surveillance Making the Grade?

Video technology has come a long way since it was first used to monitor and protect schools. In the early days, analog systems captured tons of footage, but identifying specific incidents was time-consuming and manual. The transition to digital video improved storage and footage retrieval, making it faster and easier to locate specific events. 

Recently, however, video surveillance has been further transformed by new tech capabilities like artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning. Continue reading to learn how AI has made video surveillance at Houston, TX, schools smarter and more effective.

Video Analytics for Enhanced School Safety

Analytics can reduce the burden on humans. By implementing AI-powered cameras on campus, systems can instantly recognize vehicles, people, license plates, and certain movements. Once trained, these cameras will send alerts for suspicious activities you want to monitor. Learn more about AI facial recognition capabilities for schools in this episode of our SECURED podcast.

Advanced analytics also make incident investigations easier. For example, if an incident takes place, the advanced search tools can look for specific vehicles, colors, people, or license plates, for faster responses. Exporting and sharing video evidence becomes simple, facilitating communication and response with local police and other authorities.

Efficient Management of Surveillance Footage

AI technology also enhances the efficiency of video surveillance systems. With increased intelligence, the surveillance system can help identify scenes of interest when an event requires deeper investigation.
