Behavioral analytics is an advanced technology that applies artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning algorithms to analyze patterns of human behavior. In the context of building automation, particularly in life safety and security systems, it represents a significant shift from traditional, reactive security measures to a more proactive, predictive approach.
Building Automation Systems (BAS) play a crucial role in security within modern buildings. Traditionally, BAS security systems rely on sensors like motion detectors and access control systems to trigger alarms upon detecting unauthorized activity. While effective for basic security measures, these systems are primarily reactive, responding to breaches after they occur.
However, advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and video analytics are enabling the use of behavioral analytics within BAS. These sophisticated systems go beyond simple motion detection, analyzing patterns in movement and activity to identify potentially suspicious behavior. This allows for a more proactive approach to security, potentially preventing incidents...
