THE ROLE OF VIDEO ANALYTICS
IN A GLOBAL HEALTH CRISIS

VIDEO ANALYTICS FOR COMBATING PUBLIC HEALTH THREATS

While every individual has a role to play in combatting public health threats, as always, there are ways that organizations can utilize their existing investments in new ways to more effectively drive these efforts – and this is no different when it comes to intelligent video surveillance and the Coronavirus.

Here are key video analytic capabilities playing a role to help protect the public and support prevention of the illness’s spread.

COMPLY WITH PUBLIC HEALTH REGULATIONS
Organizations can seamlessly and continually monitor their occupancy statistics with real-time video content analytic people counting, to facilitate compliance and protect visitors and staff, regardless of the venue.

ENFORCE SOCIAL DISTANCING
When organizations leverage intelligent video surveillance, they can configure rule-based alerts to trigger notifications when certain pre-determined threshold quantities of people have been exceeded.

EFFICIENT CONTACT TRACING
As the Coronavirus pandemic accelerates, authorities worldwide are identifying innovative ways to flatten the curve of infection rates. Understanding the interactions between people and the objects in their environment is critical for tracing infected individuals’ contact with their surroundings.

REDUCE BOTTLENECKS
One way to avoid unnecessary crowding, is by proactively detecting mounting traffic as it forms. React preventively and proactively to mitigate risks by sending personnel to redirect traffic to other walkways or access points or by producing signage that achieves the same effect.

IDENTIFY CROWDING HOTSPOTS AND TRENDS
Essential businesses can utilize dashboards to visually represent object movement, behavior trending, hotspots and object interactions.
