Today, law enforcement and intelligence centers are adopting innovative technologies to help them manage and analyse large volumes of video and audio.
Video Management Systems (VMS) are tools that allow users to control and manage security cameras, video recordings, and other monitoring and surveillance related devices. These systems are often used by security companies, government agencies, and others involved in law enforcement or national security to ensure security and protect property. VMSs allow users to view, record and manage a large number of cameras in real time, and can also store and analyse the recordings for use in later investigations.
However, VMs as such do not have their own “intelligence” that allows them to analyse the video they store. Intelion, by contrast, is a video and audio analytics platform that uses artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to process large amounts of multimedia data. Intelion can capture and analyse video from security cameras, television broadcasts, and other multimedia content. Because Intelion has the ability to automatically classify and locate targets in near real time, it is a perfect complement to VMS, significantly reducing investigation times.
One of the main added values of Intelion is that, by automating review and documentation tasks of the videos and audios generated in surveillance, listening or analysis operations of social networks, investigators can significantly reduce the time it takes to analyse large amounts of data. data. On the other hand, so many resources dedicated to viewing video are not necessary either. The AI technology used by Intelion is capable of processing, analysing and classifying large amounts of video and audio data in a matter of minutes, instead of the days or weeks it would take to do it manually.
In addition, Intelion has the ability to automatically detect unusual or suspicious situations in video, and can alert researchers to potential security threats.
As we have already mentioned, VMS have certain limitations in terms of their ability to analyse large amounts of video. Being primarily designed for efficient management of video and audio material, without an automated system like Intelion, VMS users would have to manually review large amounts of video recordings. This is not only a long and tedious process, but it can also lead to errors.
Combining a VMS as Milestone with Intelion offers a significant advantage in terms of automating video documentation and review tasks, and the ability to process large amounts of data using artificial intelligence technologies. While VMS is the basis for capturing audiovisual material, the additional layer of Intelion offers a more advanced and automated solution for analysis.
Another advantage of Intelion is its ability to capture and analyse multimedia data from various sources. This agnosticism regarding the origin of the data makes Intelion the perfect platform to integrate into existing systems and provide them with additional functionalities, which are currently lacking. This means Intelion can provide a broader and more comprehensive view of the activities of interest, helping investigators make more informed decisions and improve the effectiveness of security operations and analysis.
In summary, general VMS are valuable tools for security forces and intelligence centers in the management and analysis of multimedia data. However, while these systems are useful for managing security cameras and video recordings, Intelion offers a more advanced and automated solution for media analytics using artificial intelligence technologies to process large amounts of data, unattended.
Intelion‘s ability to capture and analyse data from various sources, and automatically detect suspicious situations, sending alarms to the appropriate agents, make it a valuable tool for both crime prevention and security threats as well as forensic investigations.
