Analysing analytics in the UK There is a difference between what you can do with analytics and what is actually being done. A recent report gives us an insight into how the UK is approaching the adoption of analytic functionality n our September edition we highlighted the genuine uses for analytics, ones that were actually being installed and bringing in benefits, rather than some of the more ‘pie in the sky’ ideas you’ll see coming in from marketing departments that you could try to do with the technology. But of those solutions we covered how are the analytics being adopted and utilised in the UK? Fortunately NW Systems has carried out a survey with market researchers Opinium to find out. According to the survey, four out of every ten (41%) of England-based medium and large-sized businesses which are running CCTV systems have already deployed facial recognition analytics in their systems to capture human faces and compare images to human face databases with a view to identifying matches for access control, event security or for public safety purposes. One in six (16%) of CCTV system owners admitted to having access to this capability on their system but not yet going live with it. Over a third of CCTV system owners (36%) in

businesses with over 50 employees had already deployed some event or behavioural recognition analytics. Examples given included spotting loitering or highlighting abandoned bags (bags with no person in close proximity). A further 22% believed that they had this capability in their systems but had not yet turned it on. Just over a third (34%) of CCTV system owners questioned had already deployed Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) to capture number plates at perimeter barriers for example and the same number of system owners (34%) had deployed Video Motion Detection (VMD) to help reduce their system’s video storage requirements by only recording when motion is detected in front of a camera. One in five (20%) claimed to have access to ANPR analytics in their systems but not to have turned it on yet. A further 27% claimed to have VMD capability in their systems which they have not yet activated. Exactly a third (33.33%) of CCTV system owners in England claimed to have deployed
