Manually analyzing video can be quite exhausting, which is why there are various technologies focused on analytics that assist in the security and protection of your business, as well as significantly optimizing operational processes.
For example, Axis has a wide range of edge-based analytics features that, together with its video equipment, can detect intrusions and suspicious behaviors, automate the opening/closing of gates, and track stolen vehicles.
Additionally, they also allow for automatic responses to events, such as sending live video and email alerts to the security team, thus maintaining situational awareness and control of the environment.

Getting to Know the AXIS Live Privacy Shield
The AXIS Live Privacy Shield is a versatile application that allows cameras to dynamically mask moving objects, humans, or the background—whether live or in recorded images—at no extra cost.
It enables monitoring of activities while maintaining the privacy of people, objects, and predetermined areas. It is also compatible with two different privacy protection methods: dynamic masking based on motion and AI-based masking.
Motion-based Masking vs. AI-based Masking
In dynamic motion-based masking, privacy is achieved when there is any change in pixels (essentially due to the movement of people and objects) compared to a defined background.
AI-based masking occurs when the application analyzes live video for human shapes, masking them whether they are moving or stationary, or vice versa for backgrounds.
Introducing the AXIS Face Detector
As the name suggests, the AXIS Face Detector is a facial analysis solution that detects faces in live videos, helping to distinguish potential thieves and creating the illusion that facial recognition is operating in the background.
It is a highly scalable, easy-to-use, and install solution. It is compatible with various Axis camera models and all VMS software, facilitating future integrations and saving time on software configurations.
AXIS Fence Guard for Intrusion Detection
The AXIS Fence Guard allows users to configure virtual fences within the field of view of a camera to protect the perimeter from intrusions. When it detects a moving object—such as a person or vehicle—crossing the defined line, it automatically triggers an alarm.
Moreover, it easily integrates with the functions and event management of the cameras, allowing users to decide how they want the system to respond to intruders.
Additionally, by sending live videos and email alerts to the security team, it is possible to focus on potential issues and take preventive actions.
AXIS Loitering Guard for Detecting Loitering Activities
It is ideal for detecting suspicious movements in semi-public areas with low traffic, as the AXIS Loitering Guard tracks moving objects and triggers an event if they remain in one place for too long.
The analytic relies on time-based triggers. Therefore, you receive fewer unwanted alarms compared to basic motion detection analysis.
In addition to supporting two types of tracking, one that tracks the time of each moving object individually and another that tracks the time when any moving object is in an area.
AXIS Object Analytics for Object Detection and Classification
AXIS Object Analytics was developed by the manufacturer to detect and classify humans and vehicles and to be versatile for various video monitoring needs.
It is a scalable analytics application and supports simple learning (for basic detection of people and vehicles) and deep learning (for object detection and differentiation of cars, buses, etc.).
It can also capture factors that typically generate false alarms, such as swaying leaves, shadows, and moving objects, among others.
AXIS Perimeter Defender for High-Level Security
AXIS Perimeter Defender was developed to identify and manage types of alerts based on the behavior of the monitored user. These behaviors can typically be divided into intrusions, zone crossings, loitering behavior, and conditional zone crossings.
Its projection for detecting intruders features a three-dimensional representation of the location, so from its installation, the software performs a calibration that lasts on average one day to ensure the identification of the scenario and lighting changes during that period are as accurate as possible, thus mitigating errors related to false alarms.
AXIS Motion Guard for Intelligent Motion Detection
AXIS Motion Guard was developed to analyze video directly on the camera or its encoder. It is ideal for detecting unwanted activities in low-traffic areas after business hours, and when an object moves within a predefined area in the camera's view, the application triggers an event to alert the user instantly.
With it, you can create multiple user profiles with different settings, and each profile supports one “inclusion” area and three “exclusion” areas. You can also use different profiles—at different times—and define various event responses for distinct profiles.
Extra: And we must not forget to mention that all these analytics are being made available for free by Axis, but only on compatible cameras. To obtain it, just download it from the manufacturer's website.
