Feel the Importance of Complete Security Measures

-->CCTV Surveillance System is basically the use of good quality video cameras to pass on signals to the specific place or computer system or TV output to provide better security measures. CCTV surveillance system is mostly installed in sophisticated areas which require utmost surveillance and best possible security provision such as banks, airports, military installations, and big shopping malls or markets.
CCTV systems are digital now with enhanced performance, surveillance camera maneuverability, and quicker feedback. Almost all new systems will have a wireless alternative with wireless technology making rapid improvements as well. CCTV surveillance system is the best practice to provide most secured environment either for your residence or business place. CCTV is gaining popularity among other systems and large numbers of people are attracted towards the installation of surveillance system. Many security providing companies are available having state-of-art technology to provide tools and equipments to deal with the surveillance problem.

IP Video Surveillance is a category of digital video camera by and large engaged for surveillance, and which unlike other conventional analog closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras that can send and receive data via a computer network and through cloud. Although most cameras that do this are webcams, the term "IP" or "net cam" is usually applied only to those used for supervision.
Nowadays security systems make use of CCTV security cameras with Internet protocol technologies. IP video surveillance security systems have better resolution than conventional analog do, more flexible installation, and easier to use features.
A facial recognition system is a computer based application for automatically identifying or authenticating a person from a digital image available in the database. One of the ways to do is by comparing selected facial feature from the image and database. It is normally used in security systems and can be match up to to other biometrics such as fingerprint or eye iris or voice recognition systems. Facial recognition system is mostly installed at sophisticated and high risk areas like military installations, scientific research centers and other important places where only authorized person is allowed to enter, for the security of such areas facial recognition systems are  deployed which read image of people and matches it with the image available in the database.  Facial recognition system is basically a form of biometric system, which is very useful technique and tool to provide state of art security measures to cut risk ratio.

Feel the Power of Modern Security Measures


A license plate recognition system is a mass surveillance technique that uses optical character recognition on images to translate vehicle registration plates. They can use existing closed-circuit television or publically installed enforcement cameras, or purposely designed for the task. They are used by law & enforcement agencies and as a method of toll collection and tagging the movements of traffic or individuals.

LPRS have capacity to store the images captured by the cameras as well as the text/integral figure from the license plate, even have capable enough to stock up snap of the driver. LPRS commonly use infrared technique to allow the camera to take the picture at any time of the day.

LPRS is also known by various other terms:

Ø Automatic license-plate recognition (ALPR)

Ø Automatic vehicle identification (AVI)

Ø Car plate recognition (CPR)

Ø License-plate recognition (LPR)

Technology have played a huge part in this campaign against crime control and in near future we would see the cameras equipped with the License Plate Recognition systems, over the key areas of the country to ensure the security at mass level.
An Internet protocol video camera (IP Video Surveillance), or IP camera, is a category of digital video camera by and large engaged for surveillance, and which unlike analog closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras that can send and receive data via a computer network and through cloud. Although most cameras that do this are webcams, the term "IP" or "net cam" is usually applied only to those used for supervision.
Nowadays security systems make use of CCTV security cameras with Internet protocol technologies. IP CCTV video security systems have better resolution than conventional analog do, more flexible installation, and easier to use features.
Object tracking is the process of tracking a moving object (s) over time using a camera. It has a diversity of uses, some of which are: human-computer interaction, security and surveillance, video communication traffic control, medical imaging. Object tracking system can be a time taking process due to the data size of the video.
Object tracking systems, basically, is taking a video into a digital format (converting analog to digital), and having a computer process the image. This is alike to video motion finding or detection, but more complex. The computer can look at objects, events, colors, light levels, anything in the image that could be called as an "object". Object tracking is the capability of computers to track that object in the video. Suppose a person moving in from of a camera, then walks out of the image to the left. By reading the video, you could understand what happened, but with digital object tracking, a computer tracks the objects and can make certain possibilities without looking at the video. Through object tracking system, we can visualize how tracking system follows a person as they move into a certain area, which activate certain events relaying on the person's movements.

Growing Importance of Advance Security Solutions


Biometric System have changed the way we do security these days, with technologies like fingerprint, face recognition commonly used for access to high security areas such as those involved in high-level government security.
The two main classes of biometric characteristics are mentioned as under:
Behavioral: As the name suggests, they are related to the behavior of a person. For instance, an individual's typing rhythm, gait and voice. 
   Physiological: They are related to the shape and structure of the body. Examples are face recognition, fingerprint, DNA, hand and palm geometry and body odour.
facial recognition system is one of the physiological biometrics, which is used as one of the additional and mass security measure. It's a computer program or an application which identifies a person from a digital image or a video frame from a source.
When facial recognition systems is used as part of a biometrics security undertaking, subjects allow several pictures of themselves to be taken, with different facial expressions and at different angles. This method of identification is accurate, and is becoming even more accurate as the hardware and software improves, and the technology is used by more and more people, and improvements are made.
An Internet protocol video camera (IP Video Surveillance), or IP camera, is a type of digital video camera commonly employed for surveillance, and which unlike analog closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras can send and receive data via a computer network and the Internet. Although most cameras that do this are webcams, the term "IP camera" or "net cam" is usually applied only to those used for surveillance.
Today's security systems utilize CCTV security cameras that utilize Internet protocol technologies. IP CCTV video security systems have better resolution than traditional analog systems do, more flexible installation, and easier to use features.
It can be expensive to completely replace old analog CCTV systems with new IP-based ones, but fortunately, you don't have to. You can integrate analog systems with new IP technology by utilizing a hybrid platform. This gives you all of the benefits of the newer technology and is a more cost effective option as compared to completely "starting over" with new equipment. Whether you decide to completely replace your old analog CCTV systems with new completely IP-based CCTV systems or simply do integration of old and new technology,
You’ll find significant advantages:
Ø  In expensive, easy to set up and maintain
Ø  Continuous recording from all cameras
Ø  Customizable
Ø  Commercial Security Surveillance
·         Monitoring inventory
·         Supervising staff to ensure appropriate employee behavior
·         Providing security for parking lots
·         Watching over the cash register
·         Providing additional protection for staff
You may have heard of the term 'heatmapping' and wondered what it meant. Or you might already know what it means but wonder how to use them and how they were generated. The usefulness of heat maps is very much dependent on how they are generated, and there is more than one way to do this.
Basically, a heat map is a graphical representation indicating by the use of color the areas of the where you have deployment of security personnel. This is normally done by showing the most popular parts of your services in red and the least popular in blue. Red is associated with heat, and blues with cold; hence the name 'heat map'.
A heat map can be very useful to you in designing your security plan, and in how to arrange the tasks. Heat maps demonstrate that the majority of people look at the services effectiveness and efficiency. Heat Mapping has strong background in imaging and IP technologies ensure that their solutions meet any organization’s current needs and have the ability to adapt to future requirements.
