Intelligent Video Systems Update

by Curt Hall

Back in 2003, I wrote about the use of intelligent video systems for adding automated, real-time threat detection, identification and alarming capabilities to closed circuit television cameras for security applications (See "Intelligent Video Surveillance for Security Applications," 30 September 2003). Since then, there have been a number of new developments regarding intelligent video systems. For one, the systems haven gotten a lot smarter and have grown into comprehensive platforms, thus allowing their use for monitoring more complex environments. In addition, until fairly recently, intelligent video systems have been used mainly in security settings to protect critical infrastructure facilities. Now, intelligent video applications are available for more commercial markets and industries. As a result of these and other developments, I've decided to provide an update on intelligent video systems in this week's Advisor.
