Method and system for alarm verification based on video analytics

A non-transitory computer readable medium for alarm verification based on video analytics of a plurality of alerts issued by an alert system wherein the alert system comprises at least one sensor, the computer readable medium comprising a set of instructions that, when executed, cause at least one computer processor to:

• receive at least one alert issued by the alert system;
• receive at least one video clip associated with the at least one alert;
• analyze, using video analytics algorithms, the at least one video clip, and
• determine whether the at least one alert is reliable above a predefined threshold,
• wherein the at least one sensor comprises a camera producing a camera video and associated with a processing unit and a computer memory having instructions thereon which, when executed, cause the processing unit to analyze the camera video and issue the alert based on the camera video, and
• wherein the video analytics algorithms are such that executing them by the computer processor on the at least one video clip, results in higher reliability level of the alert, compared with the reliability level of the alert following the execution of the instructions by the processing unit associated with the camera.

A system for alarm verification based on video analytics of a plurality of alerts issued by an alert system wherein the alert system comprises at least one sensor, the system comprising:

• a server comprising a computer processor and an interface for communicating with the alert system,
• wherein the computer processor is configured to:
• receive at least one alert issued by the alert system;
• receive at least one video clip associated with the at least one alert;
• and
• analyze, by the computer processor, using video analytics algorithms, the at least one video clip, and
• determine whether the at least one alert is reliable above a predefined threshold,
• wherein the at least one sensor comprises a camera producing a camera video and associated with a processing unit and a computer memory having instructions thereon which, when executed, cause the processing unit to analyze the camera video and issue the alert based on the camera video, and
• wherein the video analytics algorithms are such that executing them by the computer processor on the at least one video clip, results in higher reliability level of the alert, compared with the reliability level of the alert following the execution of the instructions by the processing unit associated with the camera.
