Analytics is the process of automatically analysing video using statistical techniques to extract useful contextual information in order to provide notification of an incident to an operator. Upon receiving this automatic notification of an incident, action, such as generation of an alarm, can be taken.
There are multiple benefits from using live video analytics:
• Assists and improves existing security systems
• Monitors multiple cameras simultaneously
• Faster response times over operator-based systems – lower cost
• Operates 24/7 and does not get tired like human operators
Analytics can be applied to many applications, including:
• Perimeter security
• Incident counting
• Logging times of peak activity within a supermarket
• Collecting marketing information

Lalit: Basically video analytics is the looking for 'patterns' in a video, it could be movement, specific people, patterns of movement, association with sensors, card readers, etc. Each function will vary depending on the need.

A classic safety efficiency solution is for cars and the flow of traffic influenced by, how many lanes, speeds, lights, alternate routes, bypasses.

For security: airports, card readers you may do facial recognition between people on a list. We have cameras on police cars here, that snap a photo of the license plate and look for outstanding tickets, to determine actions.(like towing the car away).
