Special setup: email report when there's NO activity on CCTV

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone!

 

I would like to seek your advice for a special setup with a simple single-CCTV setup, but a special reporting requirement: I would like to be informed when there is NO activity registered by the cam during regular business hours.

 

Hence, CCTV would record continuously during business hours and once it records a prolonged time without any activity (approx. 15 minutes), the time with no activity + the previous 5 minutes shall be processed and sent in a email report.

 

Would you know a hard/software setup that offers this special requirement?

 

Cheers, Oddside

You want it to process and attach the video clip to the email? This is likely to be to large for an email system to handle.

 

Or do you want it to just process the report? I know most systems can report on video loss, but I don't know about motion loss.

I'm guessing he is not interested in "video lost" so much as "no motion" report. And the OP probably wants an email report ... something that could tell him that nothing happened for 15 minuets. I can't see why he would want video, as there is nothing but a still scene anyway.

 

I have not heard of any system that does that. I would imagine it might be something available in a more robust video analytics package.

 

Google video analytics, and you will get lots of companies in that field. But perhaps someone on this form deals with this technology all the time.
