Thermal cameras result in fewer false alarms. This means operators in the Securitas security operation centre (SCC) do not need to evaluate as many incoming alarm calls and therefore become more time-efficient, says Jonas Bergström, Business Development Manager at Securitas. For more on thermals, see the Axis Communications website.
The multi-national security contractor uses thermal cameras as perimeter protection. An intelligent video application is integrated into the cameras and forms a virtual fence. If anybody or anything crosses this virtual line then an alarm call is sent to the SCC.
A minimum number of false alarms means that the operators can be more efficient when authentic alarm calls come in. In extreme cases, too many false alarms can affect an operator’s attention and ability to identify authentic alarm calls. By keeping down the number of alarm calls per camera, each operator can handle more alarm events within a certain time frame. The result for Securitas; major savings.
