Small businesses are often on the front line in dealing with crime. Almost all commercial and small businesses face crime threats including trespassing, theft, and vandalism. According to the FBI over 30% of US burglaries occur in businesses, and these business are often attacked when they are closed or not attended. Some of the top types of businesses that are burglarized include storage facilities, specialty stores, restaurants, construction sites, and parking lots. To protect these businesses, many professional security integrators are using AI (Artificial Intelligence) platforms paired with cameras to provide alerts and warn business owners of the threats. Choice Virtual Guard Service is taking it a step further by deploying active deterrence security systems. Their systems monitor cameras with AI to detect intruders. If an intruder is detected the systems use strobe lights and loud 2-way audio to warn subjects that enter property.
Choice Virtual Guard Service has been using Camect’s AI to analyze security cameras now at many commercial business sites. Although Camect can detect over 30 types of objects, at these sites Camect smart camera hubs are primarily focused on detecting people and vehicles. Camect’s AI is trained to determine the difference between a person versus movement that can cause false alarms (wind, trees, bugs, ect). The accuracy of Camect is improved over time with custom settings and user feedback. Per Vincent Choice:
Ignore the lights, ignore the cars going by, immediately notify me when a human steps foot on the scene. You wouldn’t dare point another video analytic camera towards traffic,you’d be getting false alarms all night. Not with Camect
