8. Why Does the World’s Fastest Railway need
Video Analysis?

9. What the driver sees
Driver can
see 750m
It takes
5kms to stop

10. Why Does the World’s Longest Oil Pipeline use
Video Analysis?

11. Why Does the World’s Tallest Building use Video
Analysis

12. Why Does the World’s Largest Theme Park use
Video Analysis?

13. Why does the World’s Largest Standing Army use
Video Analysis

14. Should we only depend on humans?

15. Why does a surveillance system need
intelligence?
Studies show that CCTV systems, including DVR’s are limited
without added intelligence
Just watching 2 monitors:
After 10 minutes, the operator misses 45% of the action.
After 22 minutes, the operator misses 95% of the action.
This data is for a relatively empty scene. How can an operator keep
track of all the action in a busy scene?
Hence the need for intelligence to effectively detect,
especially in crowded and complex environments

16. The TOTAL Solution
Eyes Brain Response
IQ Series ASAP
Cameras Solution System

17. Types of Intelligence
Detection
Requires wide angle far view
Identification
Requires close-up view

18. How do you measure surveillance intelligence?
Everyone claims INTELLIGENCE
We have rated intelligence in the
surveillance industry, using the human IQ
rating
Average of the population is IQ-100
