Campuses can include universities, colleges, schools and institutional facilities, and this can pose a challenge to maintaining full situational awareness in open and geographically diverse environments. Using Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning techniques, the Navbea AI solution learns and filters routine motion, displaying only abnormal or unusual behavior, allowing operators to focus on important events and respond in real time to both leading activities and incidents.
Increasingly, students, staff, customers and parents are concerned about the privacy and possible misuse of surveillance data. The Navbea AI solution uses the underlying pixel and motion flow of each scene; this means that personal characteristics such as race, gender or ethnicity play no role in the basic analysis.
Navbea AI allows operators to be alerted of potential issues in real time, helping to mitigate potential physical and reputational risks to the organization.
Use Cases:
Impact of video surveillance on privacy: Students are sensitive to pervasive surveillance.
Educational facilities may have large campuses with many buildings that are difficult to monitor. Lack of situational awareness can lead to delayed security interventions.
Violence and aggressive behavior: Attacks on staff or students can result in personal injury and staff turnover, or legal liability and damage to reputation. Safety is an important factor to consider when choosing a school.
Vandalism / Graffiti: Property damage and cleanup and fix costs. This detracts from the facility's appearance and reputational perception. The cost is covered by other expenses.
Health, Safety and Environmental issues: In addition to the human cost of injuries from trips, slips and falls, there is also a financial cost from lost time, insurance surcharges, and legal costs and penalties.
Unauthorized access: Unauthorized access to secure areas can be a sign of vandalism or theft.
Theft: Educational facilities have expensive equipment and can be targeted by thieves. Loss of equipment is costly and can hinder learning.
Student and staff property theft causes serious complaints and time-consuming investigations.
Camera tampering or concealment: Loss of video audit trails can be a potential harbinger of events such as theft or sabotage.
