Effective and rapid detection of abandoned objects is more important than ever before, not only to prevent attacks on landmarks, public transportation and critical assets, but also for ensuring Health and Safety in the workplace. VCAsys answers this need by quickly drawing camera operators' attention to new items that have appeared in the scene.

In railway stations, airports and other public spaces, it can be very difficult for camera operators to quickly spot items that have been left behind. With the omnipresent threat of terrorist attack, security staff are under increased pressure to respond swiftly and effectively to these situations as they occur. VCAsys can be configured to generate an alert highlighting an abandoned object, allowing a compatible Video Management System to immediately show footage of when the item appeared, allowing the owner to be identified and correct action to be taken.

VCAsys can also be used to ensure that Health and Safety regulations are met in the workplace, preventing dangerous situations before they occur. For example, the operator can be alerted when a fire escape route is obstructed, or when an item is left in a gangway, potentially causing a trip hazard.
