A South Wales security solutions and fire prevention company has incorporated AI technology into its services.
SECUREIT is using AI enhanced CCTV monitoring in order to provide more adaptive, predictive, and responsive protection for their customers.
SECUREIT managing director Philip Popham said:
“While CCTV has long been a staple in security infrastructure, the integration of AI into our offering has elevated its capabilities, making it more efficient, intelligent, and indispensable for modern security needs.
“One of the most significant improvements AI has brought to the surveillance systems we use is the enhancement of accuracy in monitoring and recognition. Traditional CCTV systems relied heavily on human operators to identify suspicious activities or potential threats. However, this approach was often hampered by human limitations, such as fatigue, distraction, or information bias. AI CCTV, with its ability to process and analyse vast amounts of data in real-time, has addressed these issues, leading to more reliable, cost effective and consistent surveillance”.
AI-powered CCTV systems utilise advanced algorithms to recognize and classify objects, faces, and behaviours with remarkable precision. For example, AI can distinguish between a person and an inanimate object, such as a tree or a vehicle, drastically reducing false alarms. Furthermore, facial recognition technology, driven by AI, has improved the accuracy of identifying individuals.
Popham also explained how AI based CCTV systems have reduced the amount of time allocated to reviewing post-event footage:
“AI has also revolutionised the speed at which threats are detected and addressed by the company. Traditional CCTV systems often required hours of footage review to identify incidents, making it difficult to respond in a timely manner. AI-driven systems, on the other hand, can analyse live feeds in real-time, detecting unusual patterns or behaviours instantly. This capability is particularly valuable in high-security environments, such as airports, financial institutions, schools, universities, and other public spaces where immediate action is critical”.
The company still uses traditional CCTV monitoring techniques with real people in its 24/7 multi-screen monitoring suite near Bridgend, but says that AI monitoring provides additional reassurance for its customers.
