HP Autonomy Surveillance Solution

Enabling security through advanced analytics

Todays security threats can occur anywhere, and at any time. And it is not just a policing challenge - even agencies with no law enforcement mission must ensure the security of their workers, assets, and citizens.
In high level surveillance operations, the need has never been greater for technologies that can automatically make sense of information and derive critical intelligence to alert relevant parties. While observation forms an integral part of any security strategy, the ability to understand, analyze and interpret increasing volumes and types of data, including video footage, camera stills, vehicle registration plates, traffic records, police databases, immigration records, and transaction reports are integral to security.

What are the challenges?

The overall effectiveness of any surveillance system is entirely dependent upon the extent to which individuals are able to recognize and respond to the signals presented to them. Human error accounts for virtually all failures to respond appropriately. Several studies suggest that almost 85% of onscreen information from a video surveillance system goes unnoticed once a system operator has been on duty for a mere fifteen minutes, rendering a traditional surveillance solution ineffective. Further, traditional security systems do not understand relationships between events as they rely on recording and manual processing of videos and other data feeds, which is both costly, slow and ineffective. Disparate data sources, information delivered in incompatible formats, and manual processing mean that traditional approaches often miss or fail to identify important events and threats to security.

What are the answers?

HP Autonomys Surveillance solution helps governments, law enforcement agencies, and companies with critical infrastructure identify and respond to security threats by intelligently analyzing across multiple video, audio, and text based data sources to automatically flag threats and patterns of unusual activity. This solution automatically identifies activities of interest and displays the suspect activity to the appropriate individuals and can route alerts with accompanying recorded and live video and audio to multiple individuals with different levels of detail, and to a variety of devices. HP/Autonomys surveillance solution is made up of four distinct modules that build upon each other to create an industry leading solution: Ingest: Capture high-quality videos at full frame rate and full resolution, and react to a range of triggers, increasing frame rate and changing camera to ensure that vital footage is captured at the highest resolution Analyze: Perform a variety of analytics on surveillance information including detection of suspicious objects/events, license plate recognition, and face recognition Connect: Generate simple event alerts based on understanding CCTV content, as well as leverage IDOL to identify complex events through creation of conceptual understanding of information and discovery of unseen relationships between different events, e.g. a car seen loitering near a retail bank branch and an employee card used in an access-denied event share the address of recently terminated employee Manage: Builds a workflow around security event allowing for business rules to be captured, and archiving to enable flexible retrieval and accommodation of terabytes of data created by surveillance operations everyday Autonomy not only provides an unrivalled range of stand-alone security and surveillance products, but also a feature-rich, highly scalable platform that is capable of meeting security and surveillance requirements of any size organization. With an entirely modular architecture, Autonomy allows you to select only the capabilities you need, and build a solution that meets your unique needs.
