Challenge
Securitas Alert Services provides ‘Video Surveillance as a Service’ (VSaaS) for companies and government authorities in Sweden, with monitoring stations based in Stockholm and Malmö. To offer the best security and safety monitoring possible, Securitas looked for a robust and cost-effective real-time video analytics solution to allow an additional verification in their alarm and dispatch service. Additionally, as a service provider, Securitas sought a solution that would enable expansion of their customer base while maintaining their human resource levels.
Solution
With a view to offering the highest level of security to its customers, Securitas Alert Services deployed Agent Vi’s real-time video analytics solution at dozens of sites across Sweden. The Vi-Agent edge device component was installed in various Axis cameras (thermal, fixed and PTZ) deployed at these sites. The cameras are connected to the Milestone XProtect® Corporate recording and management platform allowing the video images to be displayed on the Milestone XProtect® Smart Client and XProtect® Smart Wall applications.
Result
Agent Vi’s real-time event detection solution has allowed Securitas Alert Services to greatly increase the efficiency and scale of their operations, with sites added regularly without the need for additional operators. When a security incident occurs, Agent Vi’s solution detects the breach and generates an alert. The relevant video feed is reviewed by the guards and they respond to the suspicious behavior, in line with their threat assessment, as the incident unfolds. This enables the delivery of a higher level of service to Securitas customers.
