Factors affecting the performance of Video Analytic surveillance systems

By: Davis Morris

Getting the best brand is not always enough to get the best performance from any equipment. It is important to make sure that all the associated internal and external factors governing the performance are also taken into account, and the optimum conditions provided in order to get the best results from your CCTV systems.

There are sometimes criticisms about video analytic CCTV systems regarding the generation of false alarms. However, it is to be understood that there are certain environmental constraints as well and care should be taken to overcome such constraints as far as possible and expectations regarding the performance set accordingly.

Environmental factors affecting video analytics:

Lighting level

Unless infra red or thermal cameras are provided a minimum amount of lighting is required in order for objects to be detected by the video analytic systems. Any obstruction to the light can have an impact on image capturing.

Weather

The changes in the weather conditions and shadows can affect the performance of video analytic systems in outdoor conditions. This can happen in indoor conditions as well where there are large windows and light sources, and these changes are felt indoors as well.

Degree of activity

The chances of false alarms are higher in areas where the ‘degree of activity’ is higher.

When you are investing in something as important as a security system it is important that it fulfills all your expected security requirements. So, while going for one make sure you have examined all the pros and cons of the system and confirmed that it is suitable for the conditions in which you intend to deploy it and fits your requirements.
