Five reasons Why Intelligent Video Surveillance (IVS) is Better Than Human Guards

Intelligent #videosurveillance (IVS) systems and human guards serve different purposes in security, and each has its unique benefits and drawbacks. However, many people may argue that IVS systems are better than human guards for most applications for the following reasons:

1. **24/7 Monitoring Capability**: Intelligent Video Surveillance can operate continuously without breaks or shift changes. Humans, on the other hand, need to rest and take breaks, meaning that there may be periods when the area is not fully monitored. IVS ensures that monitoring is consistent and uninterrupted.

2. **Cost-Efficiency**: IVS often represents a one-time investment in hardware and software, followed by occasional maintenance. This can be more cost-effective in the long run compared to the continuous salaries, benefits, and training costs associated with human guards.

3. **Data Analysis and Integration**: IVS systems can be equipped with analytics capabilities that process large amounts of data and identify patterns that may be missed by human eyes. They can integrate with other #securitysystems , like alarms and #accesscontrols , to provide a more comprehensive security solution.

4. **Objectivity and Accuracy**: Intelligent video systems can be designed to recognize specific patterns or anomalies without bias. Humans can be influenced by fatigue, emotions, or personal biases, which may affect their judgment. IVS, with proper algorithms, can provide more objective and accurate surveillance.

5. **Advanced technologies**: Intelligent video systems employ advanced tech such as thermal imaging, facial, vehicle & object recognition, embedded #analytics , and #ai to detect and identify suspicious activities, objects, or people. Human guards may not have access to these technologies or may not be able to use them effectively.

However, it's essential to recognize that human guards have unique capabilities that IVS cannot replicate, such as immediate response to unexpected situations, nuanced understanding of human behavior, and direct interaction with people on the premises. A combination of human oversight and technological tools often provides the most effective and well-rounded security solution. In situations where personal interactions and judgments are vital, human guards may still be the preferred option.
