Sanjay Challa, chief product
officer for Salient Systems,
sees combining Cloud video
services with access control as
a hot trend. The most common
use is video verification to
determine whether the person
using a badge to enter a
location is the authorized user.
Video software providers have been updating
their search and playback experiences, some
of which are driven by demand for analytics.
Salient Systems recently released an updated
version of its video management software,
CompleteView v7.3, which includes enhanced
camera analytic event support.
" Users can easily configure and capture any
event delivered over the ONVIF driver, regardless
of recording type. The update also ensures
the reliable capture and storage of all camera analytic
events, the ability to set custom aliases for
events, and includes a new 'Event Search' playback
experience, " the company said in a press
release. Future releases will add more analytics.
" A lot of the leading integrations we have
on the video analytics side are AI-based and go
beyond object class, " Challa says. " When you
get into people counting and occupancy management,
that starts to leverage AI capabilities. "
Instead of relying on a user to navigate a
dropdown menu to filter results, for example,
AI employs natural language processing and
powerful search engines to match the input
with relevant video.
Says Eagle Eye's Francis, " In the future, [permission-based]
facial recognition will show in
real time that it wasn't Ken who entered the
door. If Ken owns the badge but Mary came
through the door, it will send an alert to the
security department of the end user. "
Today, there are many companies developing
AI technologies with the potential to integrate
into a security system.

" Some AI companies just originate technology.
Others are selling their product to end users
and trying to convince the end user that theirs is
the best. The real race happening amongst hundreds
of companies. There are going to be a few
that survive, " Francis says. " We acquired one
of these AI companies, Uncanny Vision, and
tucked their products into our core platform
across our 12 datacenters around the world. "
Eagle Eye's platform also integrates with technology
partners that help monitoring centers
reduce false positives. Another of its AI integrations
offers unattended lobby guarding. For example,
if a resident of a retirement community
enters the lobby, the camera would identify that
they were authorized and trigger the elevator to
automatically open. In such a case, the system
would be using one-to-one matching logic for
identification, and the resident would opt into
the program.
In another example, an employee might pull
into a parking garage where the video system
would use license plate recognition to determine
they are authorized and automatically
raise the gate arm to allow them to pass. With
more video platforms using natural language
search technology, more specific descriptors can
be used to find relevant clips.
" We are right on the precipice of moving
the video surveillance market to 'I want to see
somebody with a black backpack' and let the
system find it for you, " Francis says.
Motorola Solutions' video security cameras

6 STEPS TO
SUCCESSFUL CLOUD
CONVERSIONS
1. Offer a full solution (e.g.,
integrating access and
video), not a product.
2. Communicate value
and focus on more than
security.
3. Act as a technical adviser
to the end user (educate
IT, operations managers,
loss prevention personnel,
security managers and
other stakeholders).
4. Address flexibility and
convenience of the
Cloud (e.g., easily added
or removed services,
remotely managed,
software regularly
updated).
5. Upskill your own people.
6. Work with the right
technology partner.
