The Video Surveillance Solution
Increases in crime against property and people have made it
necessary for police response to be focused on addressing real
incidents rather than attend unverified alarms. The obvious solution
would be to provide a zero false alarm rate system, but this is not
a realistic goal.
Primary causes of false alarms are poorly designed and installed
security systems or human error in operating them. Even simple
actions like the positioning of an advertising module or a display
near a ventilation outlet may result in a false alarm when it moves
in the air currents. Therefore it is not a practical proposition to
eliminate all false alarms at the source, though careful design and
installation of the alarm system can dramatically improve the
situation.
A viable alternative to physical attendance on site is to provide a
means of remote verification from a centralized surveillance
location. Attendance is then only necessary when a real threat is
judged to exist. For this approach to be truly effective, it must be
quick and easy to determine the cause of each and every alarm.
