Securing Enterprise Facilities with Intelligent Video
Challenges to Enterprise Facility Security
Increased interest in security at enterprise facilities is being fueled by the need to protect physical and intellectual assets from theft or loss. Data centers, telecommunications hubs, financial and educational institutions, media organizations, research facilities and hospitals are just some of the vital businesses that can be compromised by inadequate security. Furthermore, government regulations like Sarbanes-Oxley and HIPAA provide added incentive for securing access to sensitive areas and data.
Security monitoring and access control at enterprise facilities are often difficult endeavors, as they can involve expansive locations with high traffic across a unique mix of public and secure locations, including lobbies, elevators, stairwells, service corridors and parking lots. The need to secure these areas is particularly important for businesses operating in high-risk industries such as financial services, publishing, healthcare and others that deal with highly sensitive data or controversial matters.
Enterprise facilities often limit their security to simple CCTV and access control systems. These CCTV systems are used primarily for passive recording capabilities and are infrequently monitored. As a result, they are used for forensics than prevention. Similarly, access control systems can only indicate when a door has been opened with an access card, which leaves secure areas vulnerable to tailgating violations.
Improve Security by Integrating Existing Systems with Intelligent Video
An integrated intelligent video solution can dramatically improve security at enterprise facilities by leveraging existing security infrastructure to provide situational awareness. As a result, security personnel are better able to prevent and detect illegal activities that can threaten corporate profits, data integrity and employee safety.
Intelligent video easily integrates with existing CCTV and access control systems to provide a centralized security management solution that can trigger alarms to prevent or respond to security situations. Integration also provides the accuracy necessary to minimize false alarms and respond to incidents appropriately. For example, when intelligent video is integrated with an access control system, the security staff will immediately know when two people are entering a secure area on one access card, the location of the breach, and whose access card was used. They can even view an instant video replay to analyze the situation more carefully.
Eliminating unauthorized access to sensitive data can help meet government regulations and avoid fines related to protecting financial and private health information. Extremely cost-effective, intelligent video doesn't require wholesale change to existing infrastructure.
The Case for the SmartCatch Integrated Intelligent Video System
Vidient SmartCatch provides the most comprehensive, accurate and advanced site-wide intelligent video surveillance solution available. With true behavior recognition capabilities, SmartCatch can detect suspicious behaviors that threaten safety and security in real time, alerting the appropriate security staff for an effective and efficient response.
Unlike other intelligent video solutions that merely integrate with existing CCTV cameras, SmartCatch maximizes investment in other security systems, including access control, RFID and biometrics. By integrating video behavior analysis with authentication devices, situational awareness is heightened dramatically. Moreover, SmartCatch's varied behavior modules can be used in any indoor or outdoor setting, regardless of weather conditions or water borders.
Finally, SmartCatch uses state-of-the-art machine learning, multiple object trajectory tracking and human reasoning technology, which consistently achieves the industry's highest accuracy in detecting violations and eliminating the false alarms caused by motion detection systems or simple object tracking solutions.
