The newly introduced wizsense 2 IP cameras are designed to address specific security problems.
96% inefficiency rate in cctv operation centers. Since the operators have a limited ability to fully focus on a single video screen. Usually they are only effective for about 20 minutes.
Alarm fatigue due to the high rate of false alarms – as high as 98% . At this rate monitoring centers start to disregard alarms.
Energy Wastage – uneccessary light sources waste energy and can be detrimental to visibility on roads for example.
OPERATORS ONLY CAPABLE OF FOCUSSING ON A SINGLE SCREEN FOR 20 MINUTES
Surveillance is an integral part of maintaining safety and security in many settings. Whether it’s monitoring a busy street corner or keeping an eye on a secure facility, video monitoring has become an essential tool for security personnel.
However, recent academic reports have shed light on a concerning issue: how long can a person maintain their focus while watching a single video monitor? According to these reports, individuals monitoring a video feed for more than 20 minutes lose a staggering 95% of their ability to maintain focus and attention, significantly decreasing their ability to discern significant events.
“If you aren’t rotating your cctv controllers – which is an expensive task, then 96% of your video surveillance operation is unproductive and wasteful”
WHEN THE FALSE ALARM RATE IS TOO HIGH
Physical security systems generate a large number of alerts and alarms on a regular basis, and many of these alerts are false positives. For example, a motion sensor may trigger an alarm due to the movement of an object that is not a threat, such as a leaf blowing in the wind.
Studies have shown that false alarms are a significant problem in physical security systems as well. According to a report by the UK’s Security Industry Authority, up to 94% of alarms generated by intruder detection systems are false. Similarly, a study by the US National Institute of Justice found that false alarms from intrusion detection systems can be as high as 98%.
False alarms in physical security systems can have serious consequences. They can lead to a waste of resources as security personnel respond to false threats, and they can cause alarm fatigue, as security staff become desensitized to alerts and miss genuine threats.
Too many false alarms from your system could see your response agency disregarding your alarm – when it’s needed most!
THE IMPACT OF LIGHT POLLUTION
In urban areas, light pollution can have significant negative impacts on human health, safety, and quality of life. Excessive and misdirected lighting can lead to sleep disorders, depression, and other health problems, as well as contribute to light trespass and reduced visibility that can compromise safety on roads and walkways.
In addition, light pollution can also be a waste of energy and resources, and contribute to greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change.
HOW THE WIZSENSE 2 IP CAMERA ENHANCES YOUR SECURITY
Doesn’t tire from fully focussing on the scene. With AI functions like Smart Motion Detection Plus (SMD), Perimeter Protection, Smart Codecs and other extended functions. The camera provides 24/7 accurate detection far more effectively than a human can. The camera creates prompts and alerts for the fatigued operator, and allows fast target searches.
Adopts deep learning algorithmns to detect and classify target objects. By clearly identifying a human, vehicle or other programmed object the cameras are able to significantly reduce false alarms.
Smart Dual Illuminators. Rather than blasting continous white light into the environment, the cameras deploy IR during standard monitoring and will switch to white light only when a target is in scene.
SUMMARY
Your standard surveillance system needs to be observed 24/7 to be of any use to you. Even then, someone watching the screen 24/7 isn’t really paying attention 96% of the time.
The wizsense 2 systems provide focussed observation of the video footage 24/7 without any need for human intervention, it will alert you to scenes that need your attention – without requiring your constant attention.
The wizsense 2 system will provide vivid color images of a target, even at night – while giving consideration to your energy and light pollution concerns.
A step closer to non-intrusive, pro-active security.
