Questions · Intruder detection
Is video analytics any good as perimeter detection?
It is, and it has an advantage no other technology has: the alert arrives already verified, because what it detects is the same thing the image shows you. That saves the most expensive step in the chain.
Its conditions are those of a camera: it needs to see. At night that means lighting of its own or thermal cameras, which are the ones that behave best outdoors because they do not depend on light. And it needs a reasonably stable scene: moving vegetation, running shadows, car headlights on a nearby road, insects flying in front of the floodlight and cobwebs lit up by the infrared are the classic causes of the four in the morning alert.
Where it fits best is combined. Analytics as the detection on the stretches where it can see well, and a physical system where it cannot —below an embankment, behind an industrial unit, on the stretch that faces the vegetation—. And always with the same rule: two things agreeing before anybody is moved.

A written answer is enough to decide whether it interests you. To know whether it works at your site you have to see it on a real scene, with the image as it is and, on top of it, what the system understands from it. That is on the IRIS Neural website, which is the group's product.
