Video Analytics
• WHAT IT IS – “Video Analytics” is software that enhances the effectiveness of video surveillance through the application of digitized algorithms
• WHY YOU NEED IT – provides SELECTIVE DISCRIMINATION of specific events and behaviors you determine are a threat to your operations, safety or limit profitability
• WHEN TO USE IT – To protect assets and people and increase safety or to improve efficiency.
• WHAT IT IS NOT – motion detection.
Limitations of Human Monitoring
• A Harvard University study concluded thathumans are surprisingly unaware of the details of their environment and do not detect large changes to objects or scenes. “Change Blindness.”
• Without continual high level attention,humans may not even perceive unusual objects “Inattentional Blindness.”
Limitations of Human Monitoring
• The Harvard Experiment showed that: – 50% of people counting passes made between
two basketball teams will not notice a gorilla walk into the middle of the viewing area, beat its chest and walk out.
Harvard Human Attentiveness Study
Limitations of Human Monitoring
In another study, military surveillanceexperiments demonstrated that:
• After 12 minutes of continuous viewing of 2 or moresequencing monitors an operator will miss 95% of all scene activity.
Video Analytic Basics
• Algorithms – Analyzes digital pixel configuration
• Shapes– Person– Vehicle or vessel– Animal
• Action– Climbing– Direction of travel– Separation or combing of two or more objects
Types of Video Analytic Systems
• Focused area surveillance– Server based
• Processors• DVRs
– Edge based• DVRs
• Wide area surveillance– Server based
• Processors• DVRs

Impact on IT Organization
• Impact on Network– IP addresses may be required for CCTV and remote power– 1mbps to 10 mbps for CCTV with Video Analytics
• Training– Typically three days on site for Administrator & Trainer– Typically two days of on site training during installation
(Operators)• Maintenance
– System Administrator maintains rules and responses– Typically the same person maintaining access & CCTV
systems– Physical maintenance
• Quarterly cleaning and inspection• Monthly health check, defrag, clean files, etc
Video Analytics
• Cons– Over 75 vendors
• Not everything to all– May require
extreme bandwidth– Large number of
sensors• High Infrastructure
Costs• High O&M costs
• Pros– Enhances probability of
detection over a camera surveillance system
– Increase ROI on CCTV– Optimize Human
Resources– Specific product apps
Radar Video Surveillance
Radar Video Surveillance
• WHAT IT IS – proven military technology using a combination of radar, software, and cameras
• WHY YOU NEED IT – provides selective discrimination of specific events and behaviors youdetermine are a threat to your operations.
• WHEN TO USE IT – To identify and track alarms and assets in and around critical areas of your facility that works in all weather conditions.
• WHAT IT IS NOT – an expensive and complicatedsurveillance system.

Typical Waterside Sensor Enclosure
• NEMA 4X, 30”x24”x8”• Converts Radar, AIS
Data to TCP/IP• 15 – 30 Min UPS• IP Power Switch• CCTV Streamer• IP Addresses Required
for Radar, AIS, CCTV, Power Switch
• Estimate 1 mbps + CCTV
Waterside Sensors
• Radar– 4kW to 25kW– 4’ to 9’ Antenna– < 1 mbps Bandwidth– 25° Vertical Beamwidth– Effective Range 1 - 6 NM
• AIS– Required for 65’ + Commercial
Vessels– Filters Commercial Activity
from Radar Returns– < 1kbps Bandwidth– Effective Range 15 – 40 NM
Landside Sensors
• Radar– 300m, 1400m, 12 km
Ranges– < 1mbps Raw Data– XML to SA Processor– Expensive But Can be Cost
Effective on the Right Terrain
• GPS– 900 mHz, Cellular, or
Satellite– 900 mHz approx. 3 mi
Range– Vehicle Mounted or
Personnel Carried
Typical Application Features
• Distributed Operation
• Data Fusion• GIS Mapping• User Defined Alarm
Zones• AIS Filtering• GPS Filtering
• User Defined Rules• Threat Prioritization• MARSEC Levels• Operator Alarms• Look Here Now
System Responses
• Alarm Annunciation– Security Platform API– XML Interface– SQL Server Interface– Feedback to SA Screen– TCP/IP Controlled Dry Contact Switches
• CCTV Response– Multiple Cameras– Preset Controlled– Closest Camera With View Selected– Recording Initiated on Alarm
RVS Port Application
RVS Airport Application
Typical Impact on IT Organization
• Impact on Network– IP addresses required for Radar, AIS, CCTV, remote power– 1mbps for waterside sensor pack– 1mbps for ground radar– 1mbps for each camera
• Training– One week training supplier facility (Administrator/Trainer)– On site training during installation and sell-off (Operators)
• Maintenance– System Administrator maintains rules and responses– Typically the same person maintaining access & CCTV
systems– Physical maintenance
• Semi annual cleaning and inspection
Radar Video Surveillance
• Pros– 50 + years of operations– Ease of operations– Optimize human
resources – Requires less band
width– All weather conditions– Less impact on IT org– Relatively inexpensive– Low maintenance
• Cons– Does not cover entire area– Concept unfamiliar to most
staff– Line of sight only
