Recognizing Bad Behavior

Security Info Watch

The technology works best where there is a stable scene to evaluate — meaning one produced by a fixed camera or a pan-tilt camera with established pre-sets. The technology can be applied to megapixel cameras, but the sheer volume of data increases the required computational power unless the scene is downsized or down-sampled. Also, certain one-off or never seen before events may be a challenge, when the scene has not had enough longevity to allow any meaningful learning to have taken place.
