While AI functionality is not entirely new to IP CCTV systems, other AI technologies in the sector are significantly less accurate than SPOTBOT, which can lead users to eventually switch off their alarm systems as a result of receiving too many false alarms. Artificial intelligence is hyped in a lot of movies which claim that it can do things which are not actually possible. Feel safe in the knowledge that SPOTBOT does not have a human brain which can make decisions. SPOTBOT compares thousands of images per second SPOTBOT can detect human figures, even with low resolution cameras, and performs well on night-vision video streams, keeping you safe 24/7. SPOTBOT’s cleverly targeted AI (artificial intelligence) software, when plugged into your CCTV system, cuts out 99% of false alarms. False alarms are a major safety concern in South Africa, as they can cause such annoyance that owners disable their CCTV system, leaving them without protection from intruders.

These alerts can also be sent to local monitors via HDMI, and can even be reported verbally through a speaker to warn you of danger.

Part 1. Basic CCTV camera system with no monitoring device

This means that a television feed is created that is not for public consumption, but can only be viewed by the CCTV system’s owner, or with their permission. When you buy a CCTV system, it usually comes with 8 cameras. These are positioned around the property like the eyes of automated night watchmen, so that they can surveil all points where the property might be breached by an intruder. Each camera sends a constant video feed to a tv screen. Once you have linked SPOTBOT to your CCTV surveillance system via your Internet router, you set up the Telegram app on your smartphone and your SPOTBOT device can be setup in under 15 minutes. Moving shapes that can confuse and trigger a conventional motion sensor do not raise any alarms with SPOTBOT’s AI. Moving leaves, curtains, pets or bugs are not identified as human forms by SPOTBOT’s AI, so they do not result in you being sent an alarm message. 99% of false alarms eliminated We have seen all this in the movies. Somewhere on your property you will need to have all 8 screens, so that from one central place you can monitor what your cameras are feeding you. This kind of niggly, apparently unsolvable problem causes huge frustration for owners who have installed motion detection sensors into their CCTV camera system. The tragedy for many owners is that the frustration causes them to deactivate their CCTV camera system. This leaves their premises as vulnerable as they were before.

Narrowing the profile of an intruder down to a human form or a vehicle has enabled SPOTBOT creators to reduce bulk and thus optimise on speed. SPOTBOT is thus able to tell within a micro-second whether enough matches have been made between your CCTV feed and the human/vehicle form to trigger an alarm. SPOTBOT won’t be triggered by leaves, bugs, pets or fabric As one can no doubt imagine, the sharp insights of SPOTBOT’s inventors looked further than making it efficient at intruder detection. They also focussed on solving any other problems which may crop up, by making SPOTBOT very convenient to install and to use. It can then be controlled from your smartphone, where you can set up scheduled active times for individual cameras.We only see our customers once, because after that they have what they came for and all their problems are solved.
