Why Audio Analytics Matter

Traditional video surveillance excels at capturing visual data, but it can fall short in scenarios where sound is a critical indicator of danger. By adding audio analytics, organizations gain a multidimensional perspective that enhances situational awareness and improves decision-making. Examples of how audio analytics can make a difference include:

• Preventing Escalations: Detecting raised voices or aggressive tones in real-time allows security teams to intervene before conflicts escalate.

• Early Threat Detection: Identifying sounds such as breaking glass or gunshots provides critical seconds of warning, enabling quicker emergency responses.

• Enhanced Investigations: Synchronized audio and video recordings provide a richer context for post-incident analysis, aiding in investigations and legal proceedings.

Applications Across Industries

Avigilon’s Audio AI has applications across a wide range of industries, including:

• Retail: Monitor for aggressive behavior or theft-related sounds, such as breaking locks or glass.

• Education: Detect distress signals or loud disturbances on campus to ensure student safety.

• Healthcare: Identify cries for help or equipment alarms in hospital settings to respond quickly to emergencies.

• Public Spaces: Enhance security at events or in urban environments by detecting unusual sounds amidst the crowd.

A New Era of Security

By integrating Audio AI and analytics into their security systems, organizations can achieve a higher level of protection and efficiency. Avigilon’s Audio AI technology not only enhances detection and response capabilities but also provides a more complete picture of any security event.
