Video Surveillance data when analyzed carefully will give a lot of informative outcomes. But a recent study made by MeriTalk —a public-private partnership dedicated to improve outcomes of government IT— says that 54% of video surveillance data gathered by the federal government goes unanalyzed leaving a vast amount of information on the table when it comes to improving the nation’s security.

However, of the 151 federal decisions makers (evenly split between physical security and IT managers) surveyed for “The Video Vortex” report, 99 percent believe that video surveillance technology will play a significant role in their ability to prevent crime, theft, and terrorism over the next five years.

Among the most common video surveillance applications noted down in the survey- monitoring of suspicious behavior marks 57% share, traffic monitoring takes in 30% of share and anomaly detection takes in 13%.

In future aspect, survey respondents said that they see a potential growth in integration of video and big data analytics in future. And that includes instant event search, facial recognition and inter-agency real-time surveillance.

The respondents participating in the survey also said that they see momentous assurance in the area of collaboration with 79 percent indicating their agency needs to improve collaboration between physical security and IT in order to be successful.

Currently, less than half of civilian agencies (47 percent) have collaboration as part of their standard operation procedure (SOP).
