INTELLIGENT VIDEO: Who¡¯s Watching You?

U.K. company launches an intelligent surveillance system to the private sector.
Scyron, the security and surveillance services company, has launched the availability of its ¡®intelligent, incident-based surveillance system¡¯ to the private sector.

It follows successful deployments at 48 U.K. police forces, transforming the efficiency with which they gather surveillance evidence against criminals and analyze surveillance/ CCTV videos -- in some cases reducing the time it takes to analyze a 24-hour tape from one week to less than three hours.

The breakthrough technology is saving police forces millions of pounds while removing the need for blanket surveillance of law-abiding people.  If all U.K. surveillance footage was analyzed manually, the estimated cost would be nearly GBP1.25 billion per annum.  Automating the process saves more than 90% of the cost.

Scyron believes the use of its technology in the private sector has positive implications for protecting civil liberties.

¡°There are over 4.2 million CCTV cameras in the U.K. making us the most spied-upon country in the world,¡± said Scyron CEO, Mike Wilks.  ¡°Collectively, they record around 35 billion hours of footage.  Analyzing footage of everyday people going about their business costs tax payers¡¯ millions of pounds every year.  What our technology does best is to sort the wheat from the chaff by helping target the criminals.¡±

Scyron¡¯s technology uses a sophisticated ¡®intelligent¡¯ algorithm that triggers a surveillance/CCTV camera to record specific events or be used retrospectively on a video tape to capture specific incidents.  For example, it may be set to capture only people lingering longer than a specific time, such as five seconds at a known haunt for drug dealers while ignoring passers-by.  Alternatively, it can be set to trigger an alarm if people approach a perimeter fence, while ignoring animals or unusual light anomalies.
