Are the video results being tested on the touchstone of purpose defined utility formula ?
CCTVs have not been able to deliver the transforming results, which we expected out of them. The expectation was based on its sheer numbers, the huge capital and recurring cost involved and the massive tech upgrade happening in this field. The OEM claims and displays that everything is plug and play. Leaving aside the bigger project objectives, the technical issues are all proven in the Proof of Concept. With nobody involved in actual execution able to connect between the technical specifications, the pricing and the brand, the world of CCTV is an open mess. The cost vs technology is discussed in terms of Chinese and Non-Chinese and naming a few brands which are costly and few which are cheap. Our knowledge of smartphones and the command on the technology specifications is so precise, but in the case of CCTV, we still talk of just 2 or 4 MP. Might be somewhere down the line, the thought process has been to tell it to the world that our campus or home or public space is CCTV enabled.
PRAGMATIC TECHNO-MANAGEMENT IS THE FUTURE OF TECHNOLOGY ADOPTION AND ITS DEMONSTRATED UTILITY
A general purpose technology is one which impacts broadly all aspects of our life
Today, we are in the Technology Immersion Age, the big IT Behemoths have pushed us into this. Can we find the future technological trajectory for Siris and Alexa, the unseen AI technology of the day. We treat it as another switching of the lamp type technology. This being the case, our capability to create technology solutions would become very limited. We have to look for a technology which is all pervasive, can make visible impact and make lives better and safer. The applications also have to be unlimited, to be felt all over.
VIDEO SURVEILLANCE CAN SHOW THE WAY FOR OTHER TECHNOLOGIES TO BLOOM. MAKE IT A ROLE MODEL.
No branch of engineering teaches anything about this technology, not even how to connect the dots
One of the real fast moving technology packages in recent times has been our CCTV network/s. If is difficult to find any place from a house to office to industry to a transportation hub, which is bereft of the third eye. It has been well established that this necessity we cannot do without. Nonetheless, our approach to this technology and utility has been one of indifference, even if some interest has been there as the time of getting it installed. Having put it in place, this is taken as a routine fixture which need not be looked into whether it is home or the office arena. The best part is that this technology package is that it has something to offer for everybody, you can fathom it out in a few minutes. From Computer Science to Electronics & Communication to Telecommunications Eng. to Information Science; no branch of engineering teaches anything about this technology, not even how to connect the dots. A multi-branch engineering specialisation is the need of the hour.
CCTV NETWORKS ARE A ALL PERVASIVE TECHNOLOGY READY TO DELIVER MULTIFARIOUS BENEFITS.
If you get into the features of it. you are on a voyage of the types of Christopher Columbus
The PTZ, fish eye, facial recognition enabled, ANPR and of late thermal cameras have caught our imagination endlessly with the thought that the technical edge of the camera and the feature flaunted is video surveillance. The next stage of the current stagnant systems is the intelligent video management software / system. This is the ability with could makes sense of millions of fleeting images, be able to discern patterns and provide us the precise understanding of their relevance. The real product churned out is video actionable intelligence for man or the machine. This is Intelligent Video Management Software / System and the marked leader here is an Atmanirbhar product Videonetics.
THE KERNAL OF VIDEO SURVEILLANCE ECOSYSTEM IS INTELLIGENT VMS.
This network can literally become the proverbial third eye of governance
In an age of Smart City, a robust common network is a must, with cameras fulfilling multifarious requirements; from suspect detection to waste management, as much as technically feasible. This network can literally become the proverbial third eye of governance. Stakeholders coming together only can lead to a sustainable win win situation. Single tender life cycle actually makes the vendor go scot-free in a way.
STAKEHOLDERS UNISON CAN ONLY CREATE HUMUNGOUS CCTV PROJECTS.
