AI Loitering Detection United States

Loitering can be an indicator of potential threats or criminal activities, making it a key concern for security personnel. It’s essential for security to monitor and address such behaviours to ensure the safety of people, property and assets. With icetana AI’s Loitering detection tool, organisations and businesses can support security teams by accurately detecting cases of loitering before they can escalate.

Events we find

Our Loitering algorithm creates events when an individual has been in one spot for a long period of time. Some examples of the types of events that this algorithm finds are:

  • Individuals lingering

  • Crowds forming

  • Smokers congregating

How it works

The loitering algorithm is designed to automatically generate an event when individuals remain in a particular spot for an extended duration. A bounding box will be displayed around the specific area of interest.

Unlike standard motion sensors that trigger on any one movement, icetana’s AI is able to apply contextual intelligence to distinguish between normal waiting, for example at a bus stop or taxi rank, and anomalous lingering.

This transition from counting minutes to instead identifying intent allows security teams to intervene in potential illicit activities.
