“Artificial Intelligence’s New Frontier” is the cover story in a recent edition of The Economist magazine. The report discusses the many new and emerging applications of AI. Today, the technology is becoming a more common feature in security products, with the next logical market being K-12 schools, colleges, and university campuses.
Sonitrol Great Lakes, mindful of the need to evaluate and offer the most effective school security systems, works with companies that supply and support AI-enabled video security products.
These products include user-friendly software, which can quickly locate a specific person or vehicle of interest across an entire campus in real-time, and access control management to create rule-based actions and notifications for quick on-site responses, including immediate school-wide lockdown.
In addition, many companies provide video management software that helps businesses and schools proactively monitor and secure their sites.
Security experts agree that the use of AI has had a disruptive impact, allowing video analytics to offer more value by providing actionable information and making security operations more efficient and cost effective.
Traditional video surveillance generates vast amounts of video data, which is overwhelming for human operators to monitor and accurately identify critical events. AI enabled video analytics separates genuine alerts from the noise in real time, enabling operators to focus on the most critical events on live or recorded video.
In addition, AI can provide frictionless access control with facial recognition. This non-contact physical security allows people to move through a secured layer effectively and efficiently without breaking their stride.
Sonitrol Great Lakes has a dedicated Technology Solutions Team tasked with evaluating and testing security products new to the marketplace to determine their suitability and effectiveness in various settings, including schools. We invite architects, contractors, and administrators to contact us for expert advice on choosing and upgrading security systems.
