Video Surveillance and COVID-19
The most effective tool available to combat the spread of the COVID-19 virus is the adoption of individual and group protection rules. To monitor compliance with these rules, Avigilon – Motorola Solutions has developed artificial intelligence mechanisms that detect unsafe behavior through video surveillance systems.
Suitable for any type of space, establishment or public transportation vehicle, these surveillance systems help mitigate situations of exposure to the COVID-19 virus. Three features of Avigilon systems are presented below.
Mask detection
Mask usage control is made easier by the generation of alarms in the video surveillance system.
Avigilon's camera analytics tools and management software, ACC, enable detection of facial masks. In addition, they enable the generation of alarms to identify missing masks and of reports to assess compliance levels.
Social distancing
The artificial intelligence tools of Avigilon products enable the identification of people and the calculation of the distance between them.
With this, it is possible to generate reports of compliance with social distancing, as well as to identify the points of highest traffic. This facilitates the management of spaces and optimizes the implementation of social distancing rules through the CCTV system.
Space occupancy
Using the potential of Avigilon cameras and its ACC control system, it is possible to use analytics functionalities to recognize the entry or exit of people in a given area.
An interface has been created that makes it easy to read the occupancy status of a place through a web page. In addition, it is possible to inform people who want to circulate in the guarded area of its occupancy status by integrating tablet devices at the entrances. This displays the maximum occupancy, the current occupancy status, and the number of people who can still enter.
Integrating this functionality with the analytical tools that show the areas with the highest occupancy and the times of day when there is more movement makes it easier to optimize space and mitigate the spread of the virus.
