Video Analytics

• WHAT IT IS – “Video Analytics” is software that enhances the effectiveness of video surveillance through the application of digitized algorithms

• WHY YOU NEED IT – provides SELECTIVE DISCRIMINATION of specific events and behaviors you determine are a threat to your operations, safety or limit profitability

• WHEN TO USE IT – To protect assets and people and increase safety or to improve efficiency.

• WHAT IT IS NOT – motion detection.

Limitations of Human Monitoring

• A Harvard University study concluded thathumans are surprisingly unaware of the details of their environment and do not detect large changes to objects or scenes. “Change Blindness.”

• Without continual high level attention,humans may not even perceive unusual objects “Inattentional Blindness.”


• The Harvard Experiment showed that: – 50% of people counting passes made between

two basketball teams will not notice a gorilla walk into the middle of the viewing area, beat its chest and walk out.

Harvard Human Attentiveness Study


In another study, military surveillanceexperiments demonstrated that:

• After 12 minutes of continuous viewing of 2 or moresequencing monitors an operator will miss 95% of all scene activity.

Video Analytic Basics

• Algorithms – Analyzes digital pixel configuration

• Shapes– Person– Vehicle or vessel– Animal

• Action– Climbing– Direction of travel– Separation or combing of two or more objects

Types of Video Analytic Systems

• Focused area surveillance– Server based

• Processors• DVRs

– Edge based• DVRs

• Wide area surveillance– Server based

• Processors• DVRs

Focused Area Video Analytics

Focused Area with Virtual Security Zones

Wide Area Video Analytics

Impact on IT Organization

• Impact on Network– IP addresses may be required for CCTV and remote power– 1mbps to 10 mbps for CCTV with Video Analytics

• Training– Typically three days on site for Administrator & Trainer– Typically two days of on site training during installation

(Operators)• Maintenance

– System Administrator maintains rules and responses– Typically the same person maintaining access & CCTV

systems– Physical maintenance

• Quarterly cleaning and inspection• Monthly health check, defrag, clean files, etc

Video Analytics

• Cons– Over 75 vendors

• Not everything to all– May require

extreme bandwidth– Large number of

sensors• High Infrastructure

Costs• High O&M costs

• Pros– Enhances probability of

detection over a camera surveillance system

– Increase ROI on CCTV– Optimize Human

Resources– Specific product apps

Radar Video Surveillance


• WHAT IT IS – proven military technology using a combination of radar, software, and cameras

• WHY YOU NEED IT – provides selective discrimination of specific events and behaviors youdetermine are a threat to your operations.

• WHEN TO USE IT – To identify and track alarms and assets in and around critical areas of your facility that works in all weather conditions.

• WHAT IT IS NOT – an expensive and complicatedsurveillance system.

Typical Waterside Sensor Enclosure

• NEMA 4X, 30”x24”x8”• Converts Radar, AIS

Data to TCP/IP• 15 – 30 Min UPS• IP Power Switch• CCTV Streamer• IP Addresses Required

for Radar, AIS, CCTV, Power Switch

• Estimate 1 mbps + CCTV

Waterside Sensors

• Radar– 4kW to 25kW– 4’ to 9’ Antenna– < 1 mbps Bandwidth– 25° Vertical Beamwidth– Effective Range 1 - 6 NM

• AIS– Required for 65’ + Commercial

Vessels– Filters Commercial Activity

from Radar Returns– < 1kbps Bandwidth– Effective Range 15 – 40 NM

Landside Sensors

• Radar– 300m, 1400m, 12 km

Ranges– < 1mbps Raw Data– XML to SA Processor– Expensive But Can be Cost

Effective on the Right Terrain

• GPS– 900 mHz, Cellular, or

Satellite– 900 mHz approx. 3 mi

Range– Vehicle Mounted or

Personnel Carried

Typical Application Features

• Distributed Operation

• Data Fusion• GIS Mapping• User Defined Alarm

Zones• AIS Filtering• GPS Filtering

• User Defined Rules• Threat Prioritization• MARSEC Levels• Operator Alarms• Look Here Now

System Responses

• Alarm Annunciation– Security Platform API– XML Interface– SQL Server Interface– Feedback to SA Screen– TCP/IP Controlled Dry Contact Switches

• CCTV Response– Multiple Cameras– Preset Controlled– Closest Camera With View Selected– Recording Initiated on Alarm

RVS Port Application

RVS Airport Application

Typical Impact on IT Organization

• Impact on Network– IP addresses required for Radar, AIS, CCTV, remote power– 1mbps for waterside sensor pack– 1mbps for ground radar– 1mbps for each camera

• Training– One week training supplier facility (Administrator/Trainer)– On site training during installation and sell-off (Operators)

• Maintenance– System Administrator maintains rules and responses– Typically the same person maintaining access & CCTV

systems– Physical maintenance

• Semi annual cleaning and inspection


• Pros– 50 + years of operations– Ease of operations– Optimize human

resources – Requires less band

width– All weather conditions– Less impact on IT org– Relatively inexpensive– Low maintenance

• Cons– Does not cover entire area– Concept unfamiliar to most

staff– Line of sight only

Video Analytics vs. Radar Detection

• 1 radar for detection • Full coverage• 3 cameras to Identify• Less set up, maintenance• 24 hour detection• Less susceptible to weather• $450K + $20K Maintenance

• 24 cameras for detection• Partial coverage• Several cameras to Identify• Extensive set up, tuning• Daylight operation only• Highly susceptible to weather• $850K + $60K Maintenance
