A Survey on Theft Surveillance and Detection Technologies

Nowadays, theft has become a major issue to be dealt with. It is not possible for a human to monitor for several hours continuously. To overcome the complication in thefts, surveillance cameras are used. The main ability of surveillance camera is to just record the act of theft from which only the knowledge of the intruders will be gained.

In order to overcome this, a surveillance monitoring system which will be capable of monitoring and detecting these sorts of crime acts are implemented. In this article, the various technologies and the components used in surveillance monitoring system, their pros and cons are discussed. The various features to be considered while evaluating a surveillance system are explored. The overall analysis of the efficiency of currently existing systems is also briefed.
