Had some upgrades made to my virtual guard system. As always with ArcEye, great, fast customer service. The technician who installed the system was friendly but all business - got it done pretty fast, then patiently explained the features and helped me set up the app for remote control of the system. Would highly recommend ArcEye Property Defense to anyone who needs a commercial proactive video monitoring service.

I have relied on ArcEye for my security needs for years now. I have yet to meet an employee who was anything but friendly, respectful and competent. That’s rare these days! I have property security protection, along with cameras now. I couldn’t be more pleased.

Owned an older ArcEye system that needed to be updated and moved to a new location. From the POS to installation everything went VERY well. The technician Austin went over and above to the system was moved to our newly needed location. He was maliciously clean in his work and was very patient with our questions. I highly recommend ArcEye Property Defense.

What Are Video Analytics?

Security is vital for residential and commercial premises. While traditional virtual guards like video surveillance help secure outdoor and indoor areas, new technologies have taken safety to a new level. ArcEye Property Defense is a professional, proactive video monitoring service that can help to heighten your security posture and offer data insights that save your money and time in the long run.

Video analytics is the latest trend in the security industry, and it’s a software-based application integrated with commercial and residential systems. Most virtual guards allow you to record and review security footage from cameras on the premises, but this smart technology takes it to another level. The ability to distinguish between cars, animals, and humans is just the tip of what this fantastic system can do.

Video analytics is the future of proactive video monitoring, with additional features like activity zones and tripwires for geofencing and smart alerts. We can also incorporate blaring red LED lights and loud sounds with compatible security cameras for optimal effectiveness.

How Does Video Analytics Work?

Virtual guards became popular in the late 20th century as a way for law enforcement and commercial businesses to deter burglaries and intrusion. Over time, the technology has improved, extending its use to residential premises. This has resulted in the widespread adoption of video monitoring solutions across all property types. However, it came with several downsides, such as scouring hours of footage to save a few seconds of activity and draining battery life and system memory.

Video analytics is a software-based application that eliminates traditional virtual guards’ downsides, reducing review time, battery life, memory use., and money. It is integrated with a range of compatible smart security systems, ensuring legitimate alarms and insight into movement patterns within the premises. Here are types of video analytics that can aid with proactive video monitoring efforts.

Motion Detection

Motion detection activates and records footage when there’s movement, whether at home or away. If there is previously registered unmatched footage, the system can pick it up. This technology uses analysis differentiation to recognize specific frames, known as frame referencing or pixel matching.

Occupancy & People Counting

This system is suited for commercial premises or areas with high traffic. The system comprises a virtual tripwire at entrances and exits, calculating each time someone crosses the virtual line. Property owners receive virtual alerts when the number of crosses exceeds the designated number of occupancy.

Heat Mapping

The transparent zones in a commercial establishment offer invaluable data on sales and marketing information. These systems measure the customer’s location and the time spent at each display or other areas on the premises. You stand to learn a lot from the information provided, especially in the marketing aspect and customer experience.

These are some of the different areas video analytics is used to enhance security and efficiency. If you want to learn more about video analytics and how it can benefit your home or business, contact us at ArcEye Property Defense. Please schedule an appointment with our representatives to learn about suitable proactive video monitoring solutions at competitive rates.
