- The perimeter security sector is constantly evolving. Every day, new devices with advanced video surveillance functionalities are being launched. AI cameras with artificial intelligence are an excellent example of this. These CCTV cameras have integrated video analysis with the aim of becoming the optimal solution for perimeter protection. However, there are some major differences between an intelligent video analysis solution like DFUSION and a video surveillance camera that includes video analytics. These differences lie in crucial matters like accuracy, reduction of false alarms, and other advanced functionalities that enhance the criteria for early intruder detection.
In this article, we will explore the differences between intelligent CCTV cameras and our DFUSION smart video analysis system:
Fail-safe precision
AI cameras with built-in video analysis can detect motion and basic objects in a specific area. However, their ability to distinguish between real intrusion threats and false alarms may be very limited. When you add adverse environmental conditions such as rain, snow, or the presence of insects or animals roaming around to this drawback, the accuracy of these cameras is affected, triggering false alarms and false positives (non-detections).
DFUSION is video analysis software based on advanced deep learning algorithms (AI) with a dual detection engine. This allows our intelligent system to continuously learn and adapt to different scenarios, improving its detection capability. In addition, its accuracy is very high, regardless of environmental conditions and the presence of animals in the detection scene. DFUSION is able to detect intruders even at long distances where the intruder’s visibility is at 25%. With DFUSION, you can turn your current cameras into proactive and efficient intruder detection systems.
AI Cameras – Headaches from false alarms?
Analyse the false alarm rate of AI cameras, and you’ll be surprised to see how it is very high. Why? It’s simple: these cameras have limited ability to differentiate between innocent movements (such as animals, leaves, branches, and shadows) and real threats (intruders). This has a negative impact, increasing the workload for operators and security teams while decreasing confidence in the perimeter security system.
DFUSION has a real-time alarm verification system called ClickThru. With this technology, operators get quick access to the multimedia content that triggered the alarm, such as photos, videos, and live camera feeds. A box is displayed to identify what or who triggered the alert quickly and clearly. Operators can decide within seconds whether it is a real or false alarm and take immediate action by activating deterrents.
DFUSION uses advanced algorithms to filter out irrelevant movements caused by animals, changing weather conditions, or moving vegetation. By reducing false alarms and enhancing accuracy in threat detection, operational costs are saved, and resources can be channelled towards situations that really require attention. Fewer false alarms mean increased operational efficiency and confidence in the system’s reliability.
Advanced functions for maximum reliability
Although a lot depends on the make and model of the CCTV camera, generally speaking, their functionalities are limited to detecting movement and a few basic object identification features. They are also very tricky to integrate with other security systems.
The DFUSION range offers multiple advanced functions to increase precision. It is also extremely easy to set up and integrate with other systems. Among the many advantages are:
Virtual infrared technology lightens dark areas and enhances intruder detection.
Image stabiliser reduces camera shake, ensuring more reliable detections.
Smart PTZ enables you to position a PTZ camera at the detection point, providing the monitoring centre with more video of the intrusion.
ATKPRO automatically tracks intruders as they exit the fixed camera’s field of view.
Threat Levels activate specific detection profiles based on the type of risk and threat.
Maps in Action allows operators to track activity on the site on a live map.
DFUSION also allows you to customise alerts and automate responses based on the specific features of each site.
AI cameras v DFUSION: adaptability and scalability
However fancy and smart your AI CCTV cameras are, their ability to adapt and scalability are extremely limited. They cannot be tailored to different surroundings and needs, and covering large sites can be difficult and expensive.
DFUSION’s constant learning ability through AI ensures total adaptability to each environment and project, broadening coverage with less wiring and additional hardware.
When it comes to installing an effective perimeter security system… don’t take chances! Our intelligent video analysis solution is amazingly accurate for early detection of intruders, drastic reduction of false alarms, and numerous advanced functionalities. If you’re looking for a reliable and advanced solution to protect your facilities, DFUSION is your best bet in any sector. Try it out and see for yourself!
