Professional requirements for surveillance operators will continue

For many years, video surveillance operators have helped to maintain security at the facility. There were no alternatives. However, in recent years, intelligent analytics systems have been developed that can detect a variety of violations, scan many faces or car numbers in a second. However, this did not affect the number of open vacancies.

The bottom line is that the requirements for specialists in this industry are gradually growing. The program really can do a lot, but so far it is not able to compare with a person in the ability to "read" sign language, determine the fact or probability of an offense by characteristic body movements. In most cases, the software is able to identify something only in case of direct fixation of the incident. Secondary signs (hints) are enough for a person.

The results of numerous tests clearly indicate the presence of people who are able to quickly analyze the situation, using the smallest signs to determine the need for specific actions. Air traffic controllers have similar qualities. However, both they and the security sector need special training and periodic extras. training. It turned out that an unprepared person often does not even point out the obvious signs of an impending robbery, theft, etc.

The conclusion is as follows: professionals for many years may not be afraid to lose their place because of the too “smart” machine.
