How do CCTV cameras with Artificial Intelligence work?

CCTV cameras with Artificial Intelligence (AI) work with Intelligent Video Analysis or Video Analytics , that is, with machine learning algorithms that process images autonomously and in real time, identifying patterns, unusual behaviors and critical events .

We know that one of the main challenges for companies is to maintain the physical security of their offices, warehouses, distribution centers (CEDIS), as well as points of sale (Retail) . Theft, vandalism, internal incidents can represent economic losses, low efficiency, as well as accidents.

Therefore, AI-powered CCTV cameras are an effective solution to detect and prevent such problems. These devices capture real-time video that is transmitted to a Recording System (NVR) and a Monitoring Center , where it can be reviewed and analyzed at any time.

Unlike traditional systems, AI CCTV Solutions enable efficient surveillance, where alerts are automatically generated when something out of the ordinary occurs, such as a person entering a restricted area or an object left standing for too long.

What are the functions of AI Cameras?

1. Intelligent motion detection

They are able to differentiate between normal movements (such as tree branches) and suspicious activities (unauthorized people or vehicles). Likewise, with AI, loitering patterns can be identified (Loitering Detection).

2.     Facial recognition

Identify people in real time and check if they are in your database. If the data cannot be located, alarms are automatically activated and the event is recorded on the NVR . Thumbnail images are also generated to facilitate viewing of the information.

3.     Automatic License Plate Recognition (ANPR/LPR)

It controls and records the license plates of vehicles entering and leaving, automating vehicle management in parking lots and controlled entrances. It should be noted that not all cameras have ANPR as it requires specialized software and servers for real-time data processing.

4.     Search for people by attributes

It allows you to locate individuals based on their specific physical characteristics . This is useful when you need to find a person quickly, but you don't have access to clear identity or facial data. You can search by clothing color (top and bottom), accessories (backpacks, hats, glasses), gender , approximate age , height or build , and specific behaviors .

5.     Heat and fire detection

They can identify abnormal heat sources even before the fire is visible or smoke spreads. This is especially useful in large spaces such as warehouses , factories , museums , churches , where fire could start in areas far from conventional smoke detectors.
