Communicate effectively with Sipelia and video analytics

Video analytics and Sipelia collectively enrich real-time information flow, minimize response times to security events, and enable security teams to coordinate efforts more productively.

Stay connected so you can take action

Communications management systems are crucial in physical security. They ensure timely and accurate information sharing, vital to protect people, assets, and infrastructure. Providing a real-time flow of information with secure and reliable communication solutions is necessary to disseminate information to all stakeholders rapidly. These systems become even more essential in security situations where quick, targeted responses can prevent threats or crises.

Get in on the benefits of video analytics and Sipelia

Video analytics and  Sipelia™ work together to create a comprehensive security system using several modern technologies. Here are some challenges you can overcome: 

  • Leverage artificial intelligence in video analytics to interpret video data, and ensure seamless communications among security teams.
  • Automatically detect and analyze events, like intrusions or the number of people in facilities. Combined with Sipelia, send real-time alerts to security teams for quick responses.
  • Integrate multiple communication devices into a single platform, reducing the need for extra plugins and SDKs. Ensure compatibility with various SIP devices, preventing compatibility issues within Security Center.
  • Optimize resource allocation by providing real-time insights into security incidents and smooth communication across teams, ensuring that assets are deployed when they are needed the most.
  • Improve situational awareness by utilizing video analytics features alongside Sipelia so security teams have a comprehensive view of the environment and can respond to events, faster.
     

Specific advantages for education and public safety

Campus safety with ease of communication

Schools, colleges, universities, and other educational institutions regularly broadcast announcements or messages across their facilities. For that reason, implementing a reliable and effective communications management system is compulsory.

When sports competitions, student fairs, or any other major events are organized, school facilities are filled with fans, supporters, families, children, and enthusiastic spectators, often accumulating big crowds. Additional security measures must be put into effect.

In this scenario, the video analytics People Counter module is beneficial. It monitors the flow of people entering/exiting the venues. When a certain threshold is defined (e.g., > 100 people), security operators can use People Counter to detect which parts of facilities are most occupied. With Sipelia, they can transmit live, text-to-speech (multi-languages) or pre-recorded public announcements to inform and direct the public from highly crowded spaces to areas with less occupancy. Sipelia can also be used to provide reminders about safety protocols such as following the student code of conduct, reporting suspicious behavior, and much more.

Fostering trust and security in public venues

Ensuring safety and security in public venues is essential, especially in the context of large gatherings like concerts and football games, which can pose significant challenges. Managing overcrowding and potential security risks becomes crucial to safeguard attendees and maintain order. In these scenarios, the fusion of video analytics and Sipelia becomes invaluable.

By deploying the video analytics Crowd estimation module, security personnel can track crowd density by setting up different counting areas per camera field of view and identify areas of congestion. With the seamless communication capabilities of Sipelia, operators receive instant, real-time alerts about suspicious activities or security breaches. This enables them to coordinate quickly, deploy resources, and enhance security, providing event organizers and attendees peace of mind.
