AI Security CCTV Cameras: Future of Video Surveillance Security

AI Security CCTV Cameras represent a significant advancement in surveillance technology. These specialized network IP cameras can detect vehicles, people, and faces while performing advanced analytical tasks like traffic counts, people counting, and license plate recognition (LPR). By utilizing complex video analytics software embedded in the camera and connected recorder, View Tron AI cameras enhance surveillance capabilities. Users can employ these cameras as standalone devices recording to an SD card or connect them to a View Tron network video recorder (NVR) to create a multi-camera AI system that records to a central hard drive. Note that license plate identification and automatic number plate recognition are available only on specific models.

The Evolution of CCTV Surveillance

Have you ever considered how Artificial Intelligence could revolutionize security? Traditionally, CCTV surveillance cameras served merely as digital eyes. However, AI enhances these systems with intelligent features.

While traditional CCTVs act as a deterrent, they function more like portholes—useful only when monitored. For instance, if someone steals your car, you often have to sift through countless video clips to identify the thief.

The challenge with most CCTV cameras is their lack of intelligence. They provide only recorded or live feeds, which become useful primarily during post-incident reviews or for monitoring purposes.

The Advantages of AI in Security

The amount of labor needed to monitor numerous cameras can be overwhelming. However, AI Security CCTV Cameras alleviate this burden by introducing intelligent monitoring capabilities.

While we haven’t reached the futuristic visions portrayed in films like Blade Runner, advancements in AI security camera software bring exciting features. For example, these cameras can detect people and issue intelligent alarms, alerting users only when they recognize individuals rather than animals or inanimate objects.

AI enhances security cameras with digital brains, enabling them to analyze live video without human intervention. This capability holds promise for public safety, helping law enforcement and first responders identify crimes and accidents more effectively, alongside numerous industrial and scientific applications.

Enhancing Public Safety

Furthermore, AI can recognize serial offenders and their vehicles, alerting security personnel to their presence before they even arrive at a business’s premises. Imagine a robbery occurs, and you have no idea what happened. However, a Jeep Wrangler was spotted heading east after the incident. You can quickly search for that vehicle, saving time and effort. This significant benefit of merging AI with CCTV technology streamlines investigations.

AI CCTV cameras operate on Google Cloud and can search footage from nearly any CCTV system. Users may need to pay a monthly access fee, starting at approximately $7, scaling with the number of cameras.

Transforming the Surveillance Industry

The integration of AI into security systems will transform an industry that previously focused on video quality and remote management of security, lighting, and heating through a single provider.

As we move into 2022 and beyond, the integration of AI Security CCTV Cameras will enhance market value and solidify their place within the industry. Continued innovation in this area is essential.

Addressing Concerns

It’s natural to worry about new technology falling into the wrong hands; this is true for any advancement. However, we believe that the benefits of artificial intelligence in security and surveillance outweigh the potential drawbacks.

AI Security Camera FAQ

What is an AI security camera?

AI security cameras detect things and distinguish detailed attributes using artificial intelligence software. Vehicle detection, human detection, facial recognition, and license plate identification are all examples of object detection that can be used to trigger events on View Tron NVRs. For example, when a person enters a specific zone within a surveillance area, the DVR can begin recording. An alarm, such as a push notice to the View Tron mobile app, can also be triggered.

Can View Tron AI cameras be used in conjunction with hybrid DVRs?

No, it does not. Even though all View Tron IP cameras are compatible with our View Tron hybrid BNC DVRs, the AI software is only available on the NVRs.

Are AI cameras with 4K resolution available? –

At the moment, View Tron AI cameras have a maximum resolution of 4 mp.

Is the person-detecting system effective with children and toddlers?

Yes. The person detection mechanism detects both small and large individuals.

Can you record only when alarm events occur instead of continuously recording video?

Yes, you can configure recording to occur only when certain events occur, such as object detection. Alternatively, you can record at a lesser quality and frame rate 24/7 and a greater resolution and frame rate for AI-triggered alert events such as person detection.

Is there a recurring subscription or software licensing fee?

No, there are no maintenance or software license fees.

Is it possible to access camera data outside of the local network (LAN)?

Viewing your cameras remotely is entirely optional. It is entirely up to you whether or not to permit remote access from mobile apps for PC software. If you do, you’ll need a login name and password to go in.

Is there any reliance on external servers or cloud services for AI functions?

No. View Tron security systems are self-contained. On the IP cameras and NVR, all of the software is installed. Neither of those requires an Internet connection.

Is it possible to utilize AI cameras on all NVR channels?

Yes. AI cameras are supported on all channels by our 8ch, 16ch, and 32ch NVRs.

Is it possible to receive a push notification on my phone when an alarm is triggered?

Yes. All AI events offered by View Tron AI cameras can be used to send a push notification to the Android and iPhone mobile apps. Watch this video to see how a person’s detection alarm causes a push notice to be sent.

Is it possible for a single AI camera to execute more than one type of AI function at the same time?

No. Each AI camera is only capable of doing one type of AI function. For example, one camera cannot be configured to detect facial recognition and vehicle detection at the same time.
