Video surveillance systems seen eliminating security guards

SPECIAL TO WORLD TRIBUNE.COM
Monday, October 23, 2006
WASHINGTON — The U.S. government has been testing surveillance technology for site security that could completely replace human security guards.

"With a single camera, or just a few cameras and video intelligence technology, you can efficiently protect hundreds of sites without a single guard in the field," said Gadi Talmon, a former Israeli intelligence officer who founded Aspectus Video Intelligence.
The Energy Department has overseen trials of a digital video surveillance software system in pilot programs throughout the United States, Middle East Newsline reported.

Executives said the system, developed by Aspectus, an Israeli company based in the Tel Aviv suburb of Petah Tikvah with a subsidiary in New York, was meant to integrate thousands of cameras and sensors at such facilities as airports, railways and power stations.
The software could monitors video and alerts a supervisor to suspicious activities, they said. The video could be sent directly to the supervisor's cell phone, PDA, or laptop.

Executives said Aspectus, whose clients include Israel Railways and the Israel Prison Service, has been developing systems that could recognize license plates from video surveillance. The systems were also designed for facial recognition and fire detection.

"Penetration of video intelligence technology is today only about 2-3 percent," Talmon said. "From what we hear from experts and customers, that penetration will grow to 25 percent, or even higher in some market segments. Down the road we foresee a day when all the cameras in the world will be intelligent."

In all aspects I hope this continues to make people feel safe. Cameras only work if, they are pointed in the right direction, are being watched, and someone is close enough to do something about it.

None of that is rarely the case.

Exactly what I was thinking. If there's offsite security, intruders can get away before anybody has a chance to get there. Sure, you're more likely to know somebody was there, but you're less likely to catch them.

Well, here we go. Lets let computers do even more work for us. Gee, you would think as easily as electronics can be bypassed, people would learn...

Btw, this is coming from a computer geek. I'm all for technology, but man, there are just some things that need more attention than circuits can provide. Unless we're talking true-to-life AI, but that's a whole different ball of wax, and hopefully a LONG time from happening.

Ha! If one were so inclined, one of the evil genius books has plans for an infrared laser device you can build for just a few bucks that will fry any low lux security camera in seconds! However, I can't recommend doing this since these cameras are often expensive, and if caught you could expect some serious charges.

Seriously. We're slowly losing are freedom. In Texas, those red-light cameras went up a few months ago. The police department doesn't care about making the roads safer, they just want some extra money. Thats the impression I have gotten.

Better be careful what I say around here. Big Brother is watching us.
