Siemens provides itegrated security and safety solutions for tunnelsintelligent Video Security Solutions As human observers find it very difficult to monitor the increasing number of video channels typical for todays surveillance systems, video sensory analysis has quickly become a key element in todays security applications. Innovative digital product and system concepts centred on intelligent video analysis and sensor fusion allow the best possible coordination of system functionality with operator requirements, which becomes increasingly important for extensive and complex sites with varying security needs. The efficiency of security operations is enhanced by policy-based alarming, object identification, automatic flagging and preventive risk indication based on high-quality and reliable image analysis. These automated surveillance solutions allow security personnel to focus fully on critical situations, while the system supports decision making processes by providing critical information required to reliably detect, manage and prevent potential security breaches in real time. Especially large sites with an extended perimeter typically represent a large number of video streams and other alarming/sensor devices. Ensuring the safety and security of these sites requires either a large number of personnel (guards or operators) or technology able to aggregate and filter available data to an extent that a single operator can handle and manage available information without …
