Video surveillance systems beyond cameras

In this article ProdexTec explains how to optimize and improve an existing video surveillance system with Led Clarius illuminators and Tempos Analytics video analytics.

Many video surveillance systems are not taking advantage of quality Led lighting and/or an intelligent video analysis system. Relying on on-site lighting can lead to a number of false alarms, but using quality Led lighting not only provides huge energy savings, reduced heat and maintenance, but a more accurate reproduction of light.

Since a video surveillance device depends on the reflected light, surfaces that have a higher coefficient of reflection will allow the device to better reproduce the images. More light is needed to reproduce quality images when near dark surfaces (For example, asphalt) than from other clearer surfaces (Concrete).

It is advisable to change the old lighting to Led and, depending on the type of cameras being used, White or infrared led illuminators can be added.

Clarius Infrared Led Illuminators, brand GJD, marketed by ProdexTec in Spain and Portugal, work in conjunction with black and white or day and night cameras. Its technology provides uniform and constant illumination, maximizing camera performance and ensuring high-quality images. In addition, have a long service life and very low maintenance.

Elliptical beam profiles allow you to provide more light where it is needed, so that it allows to expand the distances and minimize the waste of light. The system also helps prevent overexposure of foreground objects. The interchangeable lens diffuser kit allows you to quickly and easily modify the illuminator's field of view to fit the camera.

Clarius Plus IP is a high-performance infrared illuminator that incorporates the latest surface mount LEDs with improved optical output and exceptional reliability. The nightly images that are obtained with your help have a lot of sharpness and quality, while the spotlights barely change over time, Thanks to CleanLITE's lens coating technology that provides self-cleaning and improves device strength.

Images captured and recorded by a camera in a properly lit environment are extraordinary. On the other hand, Led spotlights are often used to deter intruders before they attempt to access a protected site.

Tempos Analytics – videoanalytics

Another important part of an effective video surveillance system is the intelligent video analysis that can be used to reduce false alarms, make detection more automatic and intuitive, and facilitate the work of security professionals.

It's about getting the timely information that will allow you to act before incidents or losses occur.

Over the years, numerous studies have examined the effectiveness of people in charge of monitoring various video screens. The results indicate that alertness and concentration are reduced after more than 15 minutes of continuous supervision.

Using advanced video analysis algorithms makes the video surveillance system more efficient and adds automatic actions that run in real time.

When choosing an adequate security system many times it is also necessary to take into account the detectors existing in the perimeter detection system.

The solutions they recommend from ProdexTec are those of the brand Tempos Analytics, that are configured in a very intuitive way for adaptation to different applications and sites, but at the same time allow to have a very complete system of warnings and actions.

They include the ability to interact with the detectors in your perimeter system, either through Optex IP integration, either through I/O modules.

Both Led illuminators, such as video analysis systems with advanced algorithms, can significantly improve the detection of a video surveillance system and reduce false video surveillance alarms.
