Video Analytics & Surveillance

Deep-learning detection, classification and alerting — evaluated against a real requirement rather than a brochure.

Also known as Bosch, Genetec, VMS

Left to right is time. Each row is one of the 6 disciplines this one worked alongside, ordered so kindred disciplines sit next to each other rather than alphabetically — a landscape only means anything if neighboring rows belong together. Height is the work running in that domain in that year, weighted by what failure would have cost — life-safety ×3, a statutory obligation ×2.2, the estate itself ×1.5, an evaluation ×1. Every project declares which of those it was, so each ridge traces to an entry you can open and disagree with. Only the work that used this technology is counted, so what shows here is the company it kept rather than the record around it. Height and color are on the record-wide scale rather than this page’s own, so a modest estate draws a modest landscape and any two of these pages can be read against each other.

Assessed current and emerging AI video analytics — deep-learning detection, classification and alerting — against the active-shooter tracking requirement, and took the evaluation to industry rather than to a vendor’s literature.

Feasibility work of this kind is worth more when it ends in a defensible no than when it ends in a purchase.
