ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN RESIDENTIAL AND URBAN AREAS
Traditionally, Camera surveillance was mainly used for investigations and as evidence; sometimes collecting unnecessary data. This required security companies to hire more personnel to just monitor several screens. However, people get tired, bored, distracted and sleepy. This is contrary to computers, which can monitor action continuously in real-time.
Video management software developers introduced new analytic videos technologies decades ago to help security personnel to easily spot and provide instant alerts on crimes and accidents in residential and urban areas in real-time. Artificial intelligence gives surveillance cameras digital brains to match their eyes; letting them analyse live video with no humans necessary. Security companies are more likely to make a return on the investment in expensive (AI) storage, while maintaining (or even lowering) human capital costs.
CRIMES IN RESIDENTIAL AND URBAN AREAS
Violent crime remains an ever-present threat in South Africa; however common crimes include murder, rape, armed robbery, carjacking, home invasion, property theft, smash and grab, and ATM robbery. The South African Police Service (SAPS) recently released April 2018–March 2019 crime statistics for all major crimes. According to statistics, armed robbery is the most prevalent major crime in South Africa, often involving organized gangs armed with handguns and/or knives. Creating a safer environment for the public by creating smart cities with the evolution of technology could possibly drop crime rates in South Africa.
