- 4) AI Analytics & Detection (Intrusion, Tailgating, Anomaly Detection)
- Deploy AI technologies for perimeter intrusion, loitering, and tailgating detection ("two
- people passing").
- Define detection zones and sensitivity profiles to minimize false positives while
- maintaining high confidence thresholds.
- Establish testing methodologies and tuning playbooks to validate performance across
- varying environmental conditions.
- 5) Event Rules, Alerting, and Video “Pop-on-Alarm” Workflows
- Implement event-driven workflows leveraging AI embedded analytics for "door forced" or
- "invalid entry" scenarios.
- Correlate access control events with video to build logic for "held open" or "mantrap
- violation" alarms.
- Configure Smart Client "Pop-on-Alarm" views and auto-start high-bitrate recording upon
- critical alerts.
6) Operations Support, Maintenance, and Continuous Improvement
- Own system health and reliability, monitoring recording gaps, storage health, and stream
