The world’s cities are bursting at the seams, civic resources are under pressure and crime is harder than ever to police. As it stands, most video surveillance technology is inefficient. Police investigations are often hampered by blind spots in video networks and low-quality imagery. Issues with data storage and retrieval mean incident data can be slow to reach command staff, and data loss can derail investigations altogether. However, new technology is starting to become available to help police combat crime more effectively. Public safety has emerged as an important function forgovernments across the world. It …

Discussed the main security challenges in the next few years: Climate extremes Cyber risks Political changes Increased use of private security Tackling evolving security issues Viruses Climate extremes The realities of climate change have a security dimension, as well as their wider impact on the world population and the environment. Extreme weather conditions (such as ongoing droughts in Africa) affect agricultural output and bring into sharp focus the need for potable water – one of the fundamental Human Rights. In turn, this leads to food insecurity and increased criminality (such as armed groups robbing food …

Video analysis applications pave the way for proactive surveillance, which helps your security staff protect property by detecting and deterring crime. Applications can detect humans/vehicles, fire/smoke, or abnormal behavior/conditions and automatically notify security staff. Providing early notification to first responders enables police or corporate security personnel to quickly neutralize the threat and make their response actions more effective. You can use AI-powered analytics for a variety of security needs, including face and number plate recognition, early fire detection, detecting potentially dangerous conditions, and tracking objects of specific types. Recognize potentially dangerous situations by detecting specific …

Ethnic conflict, a form of conflict in which the objectives of at least one party are defined in ethnic terms, and the conflict, its antecedents, and possible solutions are perceived along ethnic lines.

Security Ambassador to Africa Astemir Karmov participated in Intersec 2020, the world’s leading trade fair for Security, Safety & Fire Protection at the Dubai World Trade Centre January 19-21. The Deep Neural Networks captured visitors’ attention, rendering a de-facto breakthrough in facial recognition, access control, scene analytics, and fire & security alarms. Deep Neural Networks trained at customer facilities rise to the most challenging occasions, such as precise abandoned object classification, human posture analyses for active shooter detection, and early fire/smoke detection. With customized AI and biometrics on board, our image content analysis tools now effectively …
