Artificial Intelligence to the rescue: how video analytics helps solve business tasks
Artificial intelligence, computer vision, neural networks, smart devices, smart home – these are the modern-day buzzwords that have steadily migrated from the Internet Technology sphere into our everyday life, just like ‘computer’ and ‘smartphone’. We use them every day because we are surrounded by these phenomena everywhere.
If millions of regular users of any age and origin routinely embrace the AI technology every day in their phone authorization, social media stories masks, fitness devices, in smart home systems, etc. – then it’s only fitting for businesses to do as well. The most daring, well-off or forward-thinking businesses have long given artificial intelligence a chance, and it paid back: cutting losses, optimizing staff employment, preventing crimes and fighting against false claims, lawsuits. Now the new-generation neural networks are available, affordable, attainable to small business as well. Business tasks that can be addressed with artificial intelligence are virtually not limited – everything is possible.
There are many video analytics solutions nowadays that help solve various business tasks for improving business operations, boosting sales, reducing frauds and other losses, aiding in complying with governmental regulations, etc.

Here are some of Xeoma case studies of using VSS in business:
Business and major systems | Banks and microfinancing institutions | Industrial enterprise and mining industry | Residential complex and condominium | Flat buildings | Higher education and school | Shop and shop center | Airport and railway station | Hair and nail salon | Delivery/Logistics | Hotel, restaurant and coffeehouse | Construction site | Hospital and denture clinic | Gas stations| Transportation | Illegal parking | Garage | Speed Detector | Stadium and sports events | Expo center | Sales | Recreation | Golf courses | Cinemas | Church | Pharmacy | Tailor shop | Insurance company | Horticultural society and farming | Service center | Jail | Zoo | Cruise ship | Warehouse | Assisted living home | Oil & Gas industry | Jewelry stores | Customs and border | Post office | Carsharing and vehicle rental |
For example, modern video surveillance systems have excelled in performing these and many other duties:
• Video evidence of incidents for internal investigation or forensic uses;
• Live situational awareness (police body-worn cameras, cameras in a bank with panic button);
• Proactive deterrent of potential violations (on a psychological or physical level);
• Safer environment for workers and customers that encourages more sales and more effective work;
• Proactive video analytics that helps prevent accidents (behavior patterns recognition) or engage urgent help (slip and fall detection + notifications);
• 24/7 strategic analysis of the target audience (reports on unique visitors, satisfaction level, demographics);
• Automation of routine tasks (for example, work with sensors in IoT/smarthome systems)
• Road safety and automated detection of traffic rules violation, integration with fee imposing systems;
• Estimation of staff productivity in various industries;
• Creation of promo or tutorial videos from live streams;
• Automation of access control (recognition of faces, vehicle types and license plates, double authentication);
• Aid in compliance with anti-pandemics regulations (masks detection, in-store stay time tracker, etc.)
• Tracking equipment work and condition;
and many more!
As you can see powerful possibilities of neural networks technologies can be used in meeting various business challenges of any verticals.

Looking for a custom AI-based business solution based on AI? Choose us!
Video surveillance has been in close relation to artificial intelligence ever since it was invented because security cameras are naturally the perfect eyes for computer vision. Security systems were the first requester and at the same time the first provider of video analytics mechanisms that were designed to assist security operators in their vigilant crime-prevention duties. One can say that the ancient motion detection looking for a change of pixels in camera sight is nothing but the ancestor of today’s advanced technologies for mind-blowing recognition of sounds, objects, creatures, and their attributes.
That’s why we, FelenaSoft Company that has been developing video surveillance software for over 15 years now, are qualified to engineer computer vision solutions that can solve business tasks in nearly any niche.
Abnormal behavior detection? Identifying weapons in the camera sight? Distinguishing between excavated ore and dirt to evaluate the mining quality? Detection of workers not wearing specific safety gear items? All that and even more is possible with the Artificial intelligence. Have an idea what AI feature could improve your business? We can help you make that happen.
Whatever your business needs are in the sphere of optimization with computer vision, we can help you get the solution, at affordable prices and with great quality guaranteed by experienced professionals and backed up by our reputed clients, many of which have been coming back to us for further projects over the years.
Here’s a couple of examples of what we can help you with:
In factories/plants:
• Detection of defective produce;
