Smart Video Surveillance System using Android App

Recent world events have created a shift in the security paradigm from "investigation of incidents" to "prevention of potentially catastrophic incidents". Existing digital video surveillance systems provide the infrastructure only to capture, store and distribute video, while leaving the task of threat detection exclusively to human operators. Human monitoring of surveillance video is a very labour-intensive task. It is generally agreed that watching video feeds requires a higher level of visual attention than most everyday tasks. Specifically vigilance, the ability to hold attention and to react to rarely occurring events, is extremely demanding and prone to error due to lapses in attention. 

Clearly today’s video surveillance systems while providing the basic functionality fall short of providing the level of information need to change the security paradigm from “investigation to pre-emption”. Automatic visual analysis technologies can move today's video surveillance systems from the investigative to preventive paradigm. Smart Surveillance Systems provide a number of advantages over traditional video surveillance systems. In this we can identify the people with this surveillance.
