Modern CCTV cameras have transformed the security industry by offering high-fidelity video recording at an affordable cost.
However, as the use of CCTV cameras has become more widespread, criminals have also become more skilled at obscuring their identity with simple items such as baseball caps and ski-masks, which has diminished the effectiveness of a CCTV system as a deterrent.
To address the issue of masked criminals, many CCTV systems now include pixel-change motion detection to enable the camera to function as a detector.
While the addition of this type of motion detection functionality in CCTV systems is an improvement, it falls short due to a significant drawback: false alarms.

False alarms are produced from everyday objects such as: pets, birds, trees, and even rain. Just take a look:
The cameras struggle to differentiate between these objects, and genuine threats.
An average modern CCTV system is easily capable of generating over 1000 false alarms per day, rendering it's motion detection functionality next to useless:
Applied Computer Vision has the tools to overcome this issue, and turn your CCTV system from being a simple recording system into an intelligent threat detection and monitoring device.
