Using AI to Detect Suspicious Activity in CCTV Footage

The effectiveness of surveillance cameras in both deterring and catching crime is significantly undermined by the challenges involved in monitoring and locating criminals in the act. It's a hugely labor-intensive job that can be akin to finding a needle in a haystack. A number of projects have attempted to use AI to improve matters by using algorithms to monitor live footage for behaviors that look suspicious so that humans can then investigate.

For instance, a few years ago, a British startup called ThirdEye attempted to monitor CCTV footage and alert security personnel when they detected suspicious behavior.
