The Power of AI and Machine Learning

New Orleans, LA, offers an incredible quality of life, with vibrant live music, impressive outdoor activities, great food, and a laid-back lifestyle. For businesses, it comes with a skilled workforce and rewarding customers.

One of the few downsides companies face is the crime rate. In the summer of 2024, five different restaurants were burglarized in one week. In some cases, a video surveillance system captured images of the people and vehicles involved.

While these images provide evidence that's extremely useful to law enforcement, they do little to stop the ongoing theft in process. That's where smart security cameras come in. Here, we'll explore the advent of this technology and how it's helping business owners take a proactive stance against crime.

AI and Machine Learning

Smart video surveillance learns as it watches over your business. It comes to know the usual delivery times and drivers, normal patterns, and hours of operation. It recognizes when a car pulls into the parking lot after closing hours. When a person paces by the outer gates, it distinguishes the behavior from normal movement. It can even differentiate between aggressive actions and everyday gestures.

More advanced AI learning comes in the form of facial and license plate recognition. These intelligent surveillance systems keep a wary eye out for issues and can spot faces or license plates that have been put on a watch list by your team or law enforcement.

Keeping You in the Know

You and your team will know whenever something unusual occurs, a potential intruder is spotted, or a person or vehicle of interest appears. No matter where you are in the world, you'll receive an alert and a video clip of the incident on your smartphone. This enables immediate action, whether calling first responders or notifying businesses in the area that a suspicious person may be present.

Supporting Internal Investigations

Unfortunately, not all criminal acts occur as a result of intruders. Internal theft can cost a company significantly more and sometimes cause enough losses to put them out of business. Instead of waiting until an inside robbery occurs, it's best to take a proactive course of action.

Sometimes, the mere presence of a security camera is enough to deter potential theft. You can also integrate security cameras with access control systems, allowing you to receive notifications and images of people with incorrect credentials attempting to enter your business or a restricted area. You also receive an alert if a door is propped open, an act that may mean an employee is in on a potential robbery.
