The Benefits of Smart Video Surveillance

As Smart Cities become more numerous throughout the Middle East, smart video surveillance must be more common place to keep the growing population and newfound bustling tourism industry safe.

Smart Video Surveillance operates in two parts, the first part being the video surveillance. Businesses within the Saudi Vision 2030 will be operating with hundreds, to thousands of people walking through their doors, potentially wandering, whether intentionally or otherwise, into places they shouldn’t be.

A properly installed surveillance system will ensure that as an individual moves around a premises, there is always a camera that can watch them ensuring they are in a safe situation and not causing any disruption for others.

The ‘Smart’ part of the smart video surveillance comes in the form of sensors, and in some cases, in built artificial intelligence, that can learn and track events as they happen.

A properly integrated and unified smart video surveillance network allows for an individual who is a potential threat actor, to be isolated on a screen, identified, tracked and recorded as they move through a premises. A highlight will keep track of the individual, cameras moving themselves to ensure they are always in sight.

This sort of technology will be invaluable to businesses, residential and security, especially in the busy years to come following the Saudi Vision 2030 initiative.
