To solve the problem of human guards struggling to continuously watch surveillance monitors, the initial solution was to equip cameras with motion detectors.
The software was designed to detect restricted areas within the camera's field of view and establish specific monitoring times, such as after business hours, for the property. The aim was to notify the remote monitoring operator of any movement by an intruder or perpetrator, eliminating the need for constant human attention. However, this solution proved to be ineffective in outdoor settings, where constant motion such as the movement of leaves, litter, insects, birds, dogs, shadows, headlights, and sunbeams resulted in hundreds or even thousands of false alerts per day.
