Gone are the days of record-and-store surveillance cameras where the only way to spot criminal acts was to manually sift through hours of footage. Surveillance systems have evolved into intelligent services that can pinpoint crime, thanks to the introduction of artificial intelligence (AI). And because of AI’s power, it can identify a crime in real-time and alert on it. And, the technology’s capabilities extend far beyond physical security alone creating a host of additional benefits for facilities of all types.
Of course, AI-enabled surveillance systems are typically installed for the purpose of spotting suspicious activity and deterring these acts before harm can be done. But the benefits don’t stop there. If the investment is already being made, why not get more out of it? In a new article for Facilities Management Advisor, Pro-Vigil Founder Jeremy White details five ways facilities can use surveillance cameras beyond security:
- Monitoring weather conditions
- Analyzing employee/visitor traffic
- Monitoring third-party visitors
- Tracking construction progress
- Insurance/liability evidence
