Solar farms need reliable detection across long, dark perimeters — but livestock can create a steady stream of nuisance alerts. We look at why thermal cameras need analytics designed specifically for thermal imagery, particularly on sites where sheep and security infrastructure share the same ground.
A camera can be online and still fail operationally. Blur, glare, darkness, obstructions and scene changes can all compromise monitoring without generating an obvious fault. This article looks at what camera health should actually be monitoring — and why usable coverage matters as much as uptime.
See what changes when residential estates move from DeepAlert’s legacy alerting interface to COMMAND, including flexible alert stacks, multi-camera views, integrated site information and separate maintenance workflows.
We speak to Dean Field, DeepAlert’s UK Account Manager, about his day-to-day role, his background in CCTV monitoring, the challenges facing customers and where he sees new opportunities for the security industry.
Alert fatigue is more than an operational challenge. Low-value alerts consume operator capacity, increase staffing requirements and make profitable growth harder. This article looks at where the costs appear and how improving alert quality can help control rooms scale more efficiently.
DeepAlert Core filters camera events before they reach the operator and delivers verified alerts into the monitoring platform they already use. The result is fewer manual steps, less screen switching and a more efficient path from event to dispatch decision.
DeepAlert now integrates with Dahua DSS Professional, adding cloud-based AI verification to existing VMS environments without touching the camera estate. Nuisance events get filtered, genuine activity gets classified, and from DSS Pro v8.5, verified alarms flow back into DSS — letting operators keep working their established alarm-handling workflow, unchanged for control rooms.
A person standing near an entrance for seconds isn’t the same as someone lingering for minutes. DeepAlert CorePlus’s Loitering Rule adds dwell time as a condition, configured per site and zone, so routine presence stops triggering alerts — leaving operators fewer low-value events and more attention for activity that warrants review.
Adding operators to an overwhelmed alarm queue doesn’t fix alarm fatigue — it just spreads the desensitization across more people. The real issue is signal quality: when most alarms carry no meaningful action, operators learn to tune them out. The fix is filtering the noise at the source, not growing headcount.
Building an accurate model is easy — the real test is a live camera feed. Shilpa Ullas, ML Engineer at DeepAlert, shares the edge cases, “heroic detections,” and how a noisy site gets tuned. AI surfaces the event; the monitoring team makes the call.
