Intelligent video surveillance systems capture unwanted, undesirable, and otherwise threatening activity; provide forensic evidence and a historical archive; and allow for real-time, high definition monitoring. Human object detection at key locations can help to determine whether local security personnel should be deployed. Other analytics are capable of identifying people in unwanted areas, crossing lines of interest, crossing into regions of interest and loitering. Infrared, low-light, license-plate reader, and other specialty devices such as thermal imaging cameras can monitor automobile traffic, unwanted wildlife and human activity, and landmark features. Smart device apps can be installed and configured so on-site security personnel can monitor camera feeds remotely, while on patrol. intelligent video surveillance
