Secure video monitoring or surveillance systems serve multiple purposes, such as ensuring security, enhancing safety, and monitoring processes. Common applications include live or recorded video monitoring, generating automated real-time alerts, providing perimeter protection or intrusion detection, and automatic license plate recognition (ALPR).
Video monitoring and surveillance are commonly employed in public spaces like streets, parking lots, airports, and shopping malls, as well as in private buildings and homes. Footage captured by surveillance cameras can be analysed to identify potential security threats or criminal activity, provide evidence in legal proceedings, or track employee productivity and compliance with safety regulations.
