Data sources and integration
Metadata is an invaluable tool for video management. However, its true potential is realised when applied to multi-system searches that span visual, audio, and process-related inputs. Without system integration and consolidation, this is almost impossible for any site of scale.
Metadata is nothing new, yet with the right software, it makes so much more possible. A surveillance system that supports and simplifies the use of metadata as a search, sort, and retrieval tool makes activities such as object tracking, equipment tampering, behavioural analysis, efficiency monitoring, and safety adherence a straightforward operation.
RFID tracking, GPS coordinates, tampering alerts, meter readings (e.g., temperature or chemical levels), access control records, noise detection, and point of sale transactional data are invaluable and typical data sources for the safe, secure, efficient, and where appropriate, profitable management of a site.
Unifying them with visual data via an open-protocol security and surveillance software platform creates a substantial databank, and metatags provide a universal language for searching, sorting, and using that bank.
