Video analytics is a technology that has been gaining increasing traction in critical facilities such as industrial plants, substations, power plants, logistics centers, and airports.
According to consulting firm Markets and Markets, the global video analytics market is expected to reach USD 22.6 billion by 2028, driven by the rise of digitalization, connectivity, and the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI).
In this article, you will discover how video analytics works, its main advantages, and how Aeon Security uses this technology to protect various types of facilities and operations.
What is video analytics and how does it work?
Video analytics is a technology that uses intelligent algorithms to process images captured by security cameras, enabling automatic identification of objects, movements, behaviors, speeds, and positions.
Once a relevant event is detected, the software sends real-time alerts to other integrated devices such as IP Horn Speakers, monitoring centers, and security management applications.
Application of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
With embedded Artificial Intelligence, the system not only detects events but also learns behavioral patterns and can predict potential risks.
The software can recognize attributes, events, and patterns, distinguishing between people, vehicles, or objects while ignoring irrelevant activities. This makes the analysis much more accurate and reliable, even in complex and busy environments.
For example, in a factory, a camera equipped with this technology can monitor the use of PPE by workers. In a power plant, it can quickly recognize signs of overheating on a solar panel, and in a logistics center, it can detect unauthorized vehicles and monitor restricted areas.
The defense and security sector is currently one of the largest adopters of video analytics, driven by the need to protect facilities against physical threats and suspicious activities. Factors such as precise image analysis, real-time processing, multiple visual inputs, and higher accuracy make video analytics an indispensable tool.
Among the main advantages of this intelligent system are:
- Incident Prevention: Immediate identification of problems or risk situations before they escalate.
- Faster Response to Events: Automatic alerts allow security teams to respond almost instantly.
- Operational Efficiency: Higher accuracy prevents unplanned downtime, ensuring continuity and productivity.
- Cost Reduction: Minimizes financial losses due to theft, vandalism, or unscheduled interruptions.
- Greater Reliability: Provides security and confidence for managers, employees, and clients.
How Aeon Security applies video analytics in its solutions
At Aeon Security, this technology integrates with CCTV systems and virtual barriers, enabling the identification of suspicious activities, access control, and, most importantly, protection of people and assets.
Some applications include:
Intruder detection
The system identifies movements and shapes indicating the presence of people in restricted areas, where unauthorized presence may compromise safety and operational continuity
Equipment performance monitoring
In industrial environments, cameras monitor equipment performance to ensure everything is functioning correctly. Video analytics can detect overheating, mechanical failures, or anomalies.
Smoke or gas leak recognition
Trained to recognize smoke or vapor patterns, the system issues immediate alerts that may indicate fires, short circuits, or toxic gas leaks, contributing to occupational and environmental safety.
PPE detection
Video analytics automatically checks for the use of helmets, vests, and other mandatory PPE. In cases of non-compliance, an alert can be triggered, potentially activating audio systems like IP speakers for real-time guidance.
Traffic and parking management
Video analytics allows management of vehicle traffic, identifying circulation patterns, speed, irregular flows, and potential congestion.
License Plate Recognition for access control
Integrated with access control systems, automatic license plate recognition (LPR) cross-checks information with internal databases, allowing only authorized vehicles.
