Proactive Video Surveillance and Full-Color Technology Provide Huge Benefits for Users
, by Armia Ghali, 5 min reading time
There are essentially two types of video surveillance available to users today. With passive (or traditional) video surveillance, cameras record the scenes in front of them, leaving the user with little ability to respond or deter in real time—unless the live footage is continuously monitored by human operators. Passive video surveillance is therefore primarily used for post-processing analysis.
Proactive video surveillance, on the other hand, takes an active approach to preventing or responding to security incidents. Using a combination of AI, smart motion detection, and active deterrent measures, proactive surveillance allows users to respond more quickly to situations in real time, supporting their surveillance capabilities and resources by activating only when a potential incident occurs. Proactive monitoring is essential for efficiently running a streamlined, cost-effective surveillance operation that doesn't rely on multiple human operators constantly monitoring unattended footage for hours at a time.
TiOC (three-in-one camera) & Full-color Technology
TiOC (three-in-one camera) is a solution you should consider when choosing proactive video surveillance. It is equipped with three main functions: smart dual lighting, active deterrence, and AI. It can effectively warn intruders with active deterrence and alert users promptly with real-time alarms, making it suitable for areas and properties that require 24/7 security, such as villas, shops, warehouses, etc.
The Smart Dual Illuminators TiOC offers three lighting modes. IR mode turns on the infrared light, while Warm Light mode activates the warm light. Smart Lighting mode is the default mode that switches the lighting between IR and warm light depending on the situation. When a target is detected, the IR light switches to warm light. And when the target enters the controlled area, the alarm is triggered (Active Deterrence), activating the siren and the red and blue warning light. When the target leaves the monitored area, the supplementary warm light is turned off and the IR lighting turns back on. These different lighting modes can flexibly respond to the actual needs of users and can significantly help reduce light pollution in the monitored area.
For enhanced image performance, TiOC Dahua uses Full-Color technology , which captures full-color images of the monitored scene, even in dark environments or at night. This provides clear details of the target, which can significantly aid in tracking down an incident. Furthermore, thanks to intelligent exposure technology, the camera can time-split the captured image and prevent the interference of flashing red and blue light in the image when a target is detected in the surveillance area. This ensures clear color images that can be used for further investigation.
In terms of AI, TiOC's Scheduled AI feature allows users to schedule their monitoring mode at different times. This is ideal for a wide range of application scenarios requiring automatic and flexible alarms, such as homes, shops, beach properties, and more.

Takeaway
So, we've seen how active video surveillance helps dramatically reduce the amount of video data users need to monitor, creating a more streamlined and efficient surveillance operation. If you choose proactive video surveillance, consider a security system that combines TiOC with full-color capabilities, which not only gives users multiple ways to take action before a security incident occurs, but also guarantees clear and colorful images, even at night, for traceability after an event, providing double protection.
Next week's article will demonstrate the integration of Dahua Full-color and Panoramic technologies, and how this can optimize surveillance, especially in large-scale application scenarios. Stay tuned!
