AI-POWERED SURVEILLANCE TOOLS.

Veer Mishra highlights how AI-powered surveillance tools help consumer behavior for the new normal in the real estate sector.

Surveillance is not just CCTV monitoring people's movements. It is significantly more than that, it is about tracking and transitions. Using artificial intelligence (AI) in surveillance dramatically changes the way users interact with their security systems. But you must be wondering about the potential of AI, and what problems AI solves?

Presently, data collected from surveillance cameras can't be handled manually. Therefore, we have to rely on technology and analyze the live footage to make smart security infrastructure. AI Surveillance tools have been increasingly used by the real estate sector and the deployment of technology to make their environment safe. The benefit of AI technology is that the tech does not get bored and can analyze more video viably and productively than humans. We can use the AI surveillance tools according to our need and can bring important events and insights to your attention; make security decisions accordingly.

Before AI came into the security and surveillance industry, humans were watching and responding. But AI adds brains to the existing cameras by analyzing video feeds in real-time, extracting metadata, sending out alerts, and providing intelligence to other security systems. It presents real-time alerts and advanced behavior analytics for housing societies and the commercial real estate sector.

Consider a security administrator watching at ten or more CCTV footage feeds in real-time. But as time passes, the operator's ability to focus decreases. As such, the vast majority of the recording has never been viewed, and if any uncommon action occurs, it goes undetected.

AI technology takes over the monitoring task from security administrators and helps them to focus on tasks that need further inquiry. Let's take an example: monitoring cameras admirably check the security of women and kids. Thus the adoption of AI technology tools helps you to respond immediately if any mishappening event occurs.

Therefore AI surveillance tools offer various solutions like face biometric and detection, tracking unusual activity, CHMS (Camera Health Monitoring System), boundary breach, etc. Through these solutions, you can get real time insights and snapshots proofs to make a safe place for consumers. Now I am going to tell you, how the AI tools help to analyze? How can these tools give you security? And how to use these AI tools?

Face Biometrics

The use of facial recognition continues to grow, and because since the Covid-19 pandemic, CRE companies have found and started to invest in new applications. If the implementation has been done correctly in the real estate sector, it can help to increase security and prevent unauthorized building access. Only authorized people have access, so it also limits physical contact. Through face detection, different models can train and increase the potential to detect the person having Covid-19 characteristics. Among the other use cases, features like fever screening and mask detection prevent other people from interacting with infected persons.

However, CRE companies have increased the usage of facial recognition biometrics technologies in their working environment and address Covid-19 related difficulties.

Before Covid-19 pandemic, some countries have facial recognition laws that can increase tension regarding privacy concerns in light of the assortment of facial data. Yet, from the last few months, individuals have been developing keen on facial recognition technology through surveillance to combat the spread of Covid-19. Commercial and residential real estate is considering the adoption of facial recognition technologies along with other use cases, blended in with government law through which to agree and come.

Tampering Alerts

Having a CCTV infrastructure in place is an absolute necessity for improved security and safety for all the residents. Many housing societies have started to install CCTV cameras. Various states like Delhi, Mumbai, and so on have communicated that CCTV cameras are obligatory in and out around the society premises. But CCTV alone doesn't make the difference. There needs to be a pro-active
system that monitors all the cameras for any tampering.

After installing CCTV cameras, there are various challenges faced by the real estate industry are:

- Absence of encompassing reports for all CCTV establishment status

- No actionable analytics

- No device malfunctioning alerts

- No structure for real-time security and potential-burglary alerts

- No warning or alert for power failure

- No notification for networking and wiring problems

- No alert for security management like camera tampering and scene change alerts

To conquer the above difficulties, the CHMS (Camera Health Management System) has been introduced. The system integrates with the existing CCTV cameras and extracts tempering insights by analyzing video feeds in real-time. It presents real-time camera health status and advanced behavior analytics for commercial and residential real estate.

CRE companies and residents understand that monitoring CCTV's health status doesn't have any impact. Thus, additional features need to be added to improve infrastructure security, and proactive monitoring could solve security management issues.

Boundary Breach

CCTV installed in the infrastructure is to prevent crime. But the question arises at what time will crime be able to be forestalled? The answer is, it can be prevented when an intruder gets caught while breaching the boundary. Therefore, a boundary breach is one of the primary systems while selecting a security solution for the infrastructure. Boundary breach allows you to monitor the border from threats that may somehow or another stay undetected.

The system is installed at the boundary. Any person tries to breach the boundary then the system sends alerts to the concerned person in real-time. But while choosing the boundary breach system, you should always check the accuracy as the system doesn't send bogus notifications or should not require continuous monitoring. Boundary breach should monitor the premises at every minute and ensure fail-safe security.

If we talk about the cost part, there is no need to invest any hardware cost. The system can coordinate your existing CCTV cameras only software costs must be incurred. Among these, there are certain other features you can use like, night activity/unusual activity and CHMS.

Night Activity or Unusual Activity

There are always high secure and restricted zones in the society that need continuous monitoring. Having a real-time system that monitors all these regions is absolutely important.

Unusual Night Activity alert is one of the tracking and detection technologies that will notify whenever intruders show up before CCTV cameras. On the off chance that it discovered anyone doing any strange activity in front of the camera, then it immediately sends an alert/notification to the concerned person.

Generally, you survey the recording later after a theft has occurred. But after integrating the night activity system, you can receive alerts in real-time from the live video stream of CCTV footage. Furthermore, the system additionally spares an image of trespassers as a bit of proof.

Looking at this logically, AI is a match for the evolution of the surveillance domain. AI analyzed the captured images quickly with suitable set responses, whereas humans respond and then respond. There are many AI software platforms available for real estate dealers or agents to tackle the power of surveillance as AI has changed the conventional method of surveillance functioning. It improves security by enabling facial recognition and for the new normal, mask detection, and temperature screening. Indeed, even AI has become so great that it can perceive movement not with cameras but rather additionally through sensors. There is no doubt in saying that artificial intelligence (AI) will soon be widespread in the surveillance domain in the future. Any real estate dealers who are intending to put resources into these instruments will be in the best circumstance to continue the current changes and will ascend because of savvy contributing.
