The working principle of Smart Security?

Smart security technology, refers to the service of information, image transmission and storage technology, with the development and progress of science and technology and the 21st century information technology has entered a new field, smart security technology and computer boundaries are gradually disappearing.

Urban security projects include many fields such as buildings, streets and communities, road monitoring, banks and post offices, motor vehicles, moving objects, ships, police officers, and so on. Especially for important places, such as airports, docks, water, and electrical plants, Bridges, DAMS, rivers, subways and other places, the introduction of Internet of Things technology can establish a full range of three-dimensional protection through wireless mobile, tracking, and positioning means.

In particular, with the rise of the Internet of vehicles, public transportation management, vehicle accident handling, and vehicle theft prevention can be tracked and positioned more quickly and accurately. It can also obtain more accurate disaster and accident information, road flow information, vehicle location information, public facility safety information, weather information and other information sources through vehicles at any time and anywhere.

Smart security technology includes the following core technologies:

Image recognition technology

Image recognition technology refers to the object recognition of the image, in order to identify a variety of different patterns of targets and objects, image recognition is based on deep learning, that is, through continuous in-depth training on the basis of massive data, so as to achieve high accuracy in practical application.

In the field of security, image recognition technology is mainly used in human body analysis, vehicle analysis, behavior analysis, and image analysis.

Biometrics

The biometric identification technology involved in the security system is mainly facing recognition, fingerprint recognition, iris recognition, voice print recognition, face recognition, fingerprint recognition is relatively widely used at present.

At present, face recognition technology of 2 d mostly, but with the limitations of 2 d technology, such as vulnerability to external environmental factors such as illumination, expression, posture, the influence of 3 d face recognition technology will become a trend, the current 3 d vision has come into use in many scenarios, such as park, site in wisdom, wisdom to detect anomalies, Monitor whether there is invasion, fighting and other incidents.

Edge of computing

Edge Computing is a concept extended from Cloud Computing. It refers to an open platform that uses essential capabilities of computing, network, application, and storage to provide the nearest service on one side of the data source or object.

Edge computing can serve as a bridge between the physical and digital worlds. Cloud computing has access to the history of edge computing.

3. What’s the use of smart security?

What's the use of smart security?

The main reason for the emergence of smart security systems is to ensure our safety. As a matter of fact, the intelligent security system can ensure the safety of our family at any time by providing many functions. The smart security system can also be controlled remotely, which means users can see what’s going on in their home anytime, anywhere, and even control a room thousands of miles away.

1. Automatic fortification

The intelligent security system takes the convenience of villa owners into full consideration. They can dial a number to realize the phone withdrawal after the owners go out and go home so as to avoid entering the door alarm. In the specified time, the smart security system of the villa will automatically start the deployment.

2. Anti-theft system

Infrared curtain devices, intelligent access control systems, and intelligent access control systems are mainly to prevent the illegal opening of the door. The curtain will automatically close and alarm the owner when someone enters the room illegally.

3. Fire prevention, air leakage, weatherproof

Indoor smoke concentration detection, gas leakage detection, outside when the wind and rain, the system automatically alarm and carry out corresponding emergency measures, intelligent detection equipment will be based on the detection data in accordance with the pre-designed plan to perform actions. 

Some companies with excellent security monitoring systems will have free APP software matching their products, which users can download to their mobile phones and use together with the monitoring system. These apps allow users to view their homes remotely from their phones. Make your life more interesting by watching what your pets are doing and how your kids are acting up.

You can travel safely and keep track of what’s going on at home. Even when you’re traveling long distances for months, you’ll be able to see what the security cameras are doing in real time. Through the APP’s screenshots, the intrusion detected by the security system will be sent to the user’s phone. In that case, you can decide if you need to take action and then call the local police for help, or decide it’s not the right thing to do.

Suppose you’re at home and someone sneaks into your garden. If you have a video surveillance system and have an anti-theft device turned on, you can catch a burglar who sneaks in. Finding surveillance cameras could also deter trespassers. Spotting suspicious activity on video footage will help you alert local police and prevent intrusions. If your house has been burglarized, video from the surveillance system will be the best evidence to help catch the perpetrator.

We don’t look down upon intelligent security system, it is like one of our private “bodyguards”, silently guarding the safety of the home and family, every member of the personal and property safety, at the same time it didn’t have the slightest slack, conscientiously in the future market, believe in smart security systems also can have a better development. 

4. Risks of smart security

Risks of smart security

High input cost

Chips from AI, AI algorithms, and intelligent hardware input, are not a small amount of investment, intelligent hardware requires a certain amount of money, and large risk, high cost of trial and error, so the threshold of the companies such as relatively high, or have other industries can be parallel to liquidate or relevant investors strong financial support.

The data island

At the present stage, data are kept and used separately between each subdivision industry and each manufacturer of intelligent security. For multi-dimensional analysis and tracking target scenarios, it is necessary to improve the system openness of each platform, get through the platform for data and information sharing, and expand the application of visual information.

With the increasing fragmentation of AI applications, manufacturers in the industry are generally looking forward to the standardization of AI projects as soon as possible to make project delivery easier to execute.

Vertical exploration is limited

Based on the development of Internet of Things, big data, artificial intelligence and other technologies, how to combine technology and security, and implement them into products or solutions, which put forward higher requirements for the understanding of the industry and application scenarios, the understanding of different application scenarios, restrict the depth of exploration in vertical fields. In the future, the understanding of segmented industries or application scenarios, and the efficient combination of a variety of technologies, will determine the practical application and landing effect of intelligent security products.

The overall solution needs to be improved

The systematic accumulation of the ability to fuse multiple single-point technologies into a holistic solution that meets user needs. With the development of artificial intelligence technology, it has become a trend to enter the field of intelligent security with algorithms and other technologies as the breakthrough point. However, how integrating a variety of single point technologies into landing products to meet user needs and improve industrial application efficiency and value is a problem that many enterprises in the industry need to consider.

Data Security Issues

The Internet of Things, big data, artificial intelligence, cloud computing has accelerated the intelligent transformation of the security industry, but at the same time, data leakage events have frequently broken out, and data security issues have gradually attracted people’s attention.

With the open source and wide application of face recognition technology, criminals collect face data illegally through illegal programs, causing the problem of privacy disclosure. Data cloud makes users have higher requirements for the security and credibility of enterprise data storage. Besides the constraints of laws and regulations, it is also urgent to establish a data security management system.

6. What are the challenges of smart security?

What are the challenges of smart security

In addition to the progress of chips, algorithms and products, the improvement of technological capabilities, including 5G communication and sensing, also enables the “intelligence +” of security and gives birth to innovative intelligent applications. However, the development also faces many challenges:

1. The application of video data deep fusion should be improved

How to deeply apply the existing video and change the post-application mode of passive verification into the pre-application mode of active defense is the urgent demand of the security industry, but the application of this area still needs to be strengthened.

Now feeling the public security organs from the business practice preliminary combined with video monitoring results from artificial intelligence, but how in the lead of the big data strategy, further closely around the practical and useful, in view of the widespread integration across technology, integrated applications across lines of business, in actual combat effectiveness to energized, the public security police on the convenience of practices to reduce, the grassroots police. It is still a pain point and difficult problem of artificial intelligence in the field of the public security business, which needs to be further solved.

2. New technologies need to be pushed to the ground

At present, the core AI technologies in the security industry, including human recognition (face and human body), vehicle recognition and so on, have achieved good applications. Jian-huang lai professor mentioned, now face recognition, license plate recognition technology has reached a good level, the current face recognition in video surveillance with better, but a wide range of pedestrian recognition application has not yet been seen again, such as can’t see the face of it depends on the pedestrian recognition technology combined with facial recognition to do precise monitor again.

Security check in many important places, such as subway, still costs a lot of money and wastes a lot of manpower and material resources, which shows that the research and development and application of security technology based on video surveillance are not in place. There is still a lot of room for us to use video surveillance technology to simplify security check process and improve security check levels.

In the video surveillance application, when the monitoring system can’t see the face or can’t see the face, it depends on pedestrian re-recognition technology. At present, cameras all over the city, meet the standard of the face of the camera accounting for less. In order to maximize the potential of the security cameras of traditional safe cities and Skynet projects, pedestrian re-identification technology is very important.

In addition, sound in audio and video systems has not been fully exploited, and users in the application actually have urgent needs.

3. Multi-algorithm fusion should be strengthened

In practical applications, it is common for different algorithm analysis functions to be deployed independently, which will greatly reduce application efficiency.

The current public security organ has extended to the application of intelligence from single point “cloud, side, side” comprehensive deployment, especially on the selection of the front-end equipment integration of intelligent equipment put forward the request, has a human face, human, vehicle, structured, behavior analysis algorithm fusion and efficient codec and transmission, cable and wireless and security protection, and other functions, The comprehensive and integrated intelligent camera, which fully conforms to GB/T25724, GB35114 and GB/T28181 standards, has become an urgent demand in the in-depth construction and application of the current “Xueliang Project”. If such a product is launched, it will certainly be welcomed by the front-line combat departments of public security, and there will be greater market space.

The algorithm analysis layer is the core of artificial intelligence technology, the quality of the algorithm determines the application effect of artificial intelligence technology. In the face of users’ problems and demands, manufacturers still need to continue to develop in the superposition of multiple functions such as the integration deployment of multiple algorithms and the coordination of panoramic multi-mirror and multi-task, so as to improve the problem of stacking analysis servers with different algorithms to meet users’ demands.

For the development of the fusion algorithm, YanJun thinks now of people, vehicles, and the fusion algorithm in the application of content analysis, with the evolution of intelligence, the fusion of the future will also include audio and video, radar, thermal imaging, etc., through multidimensional awareness to solve the disadvantages of single sensor data, gives rise to more dimension data to artificial intelligence or solve the level of intelligence in the specific scene.

4. The association should guide the industry to make layout

At present, the security industry is regarded as one of the industries with the most market space for artificial intelligence, and it is crowded with participants at all levels on this wave of development track. President Hu Chuanping mentioned that the security market application prospect is very attractive, there are many enterprises to enter, but the industry as a whole only some big enterprises to make money, more small and medium-sized enterprises in the strict sense of not making money, some innovative enterprises are supported by capital investment, because many enterprises are almost doing the same thing. From the perspective of the association, enterprises should be guided to make reasonable layout and innovation of the industry, give guidance to enterprises, and help them to gain profits, because with profits, the relevant technology can get better progress, and the industry can get better development.
