How to Effectively Use Video Surveillance During Incidents

As reported by Campus Safety Magazine in the article, “How to Use Video Surveillance Effectively When an Incident Happens,” video surveillance systems have become essential tools for campus safety. In the immediate aftermath of an incident, video footage provides crucial evidence to help resolve situations swiftly. However, new advancements in video analytics allow schools to take a more proactive approach, detecting risks before they escalate.

One key feature of modern surveillance systems is the ability to use crowd estimation analytics, which can identify when a large number of students are gathering in unexpected areas. This early detection helps campus security respond quickly to potential issues. Additionally, video analytics can spot unattended bags or other unusual activities that might indicate a security risk.

Combining video surveillance with decision management systems allows campuses to analyze, share, and act on real-time data, which can be invaluable during an emergency. Sharing this data with law enforcement and first responders helps them react faster and more effectively.

When campuses are overwhelmed by large numbers of security cameras, analytics provide valuable assistance. These systems work in the background, detecting signs of trouble and alerting security teams when intervention may be necessary. This allows security personnel to focus on other tasks without losing situational awareness.

Some security challenges, such as monitoring private areas like restrooms, can be addressed by combining video analytics with other sensors, such as vape detection devices or sound detectors programmed to recognize specific keywords. These integrated systems provide automatic alerts and guide security teams on the next steps, improving response times and enhancing overall campus safety.
