Cloud recording service "Safie" and anomaly detection software "icetana" are linked. To provide anomaly detection solutions to optimize security operations

(Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo: President CEO: Ryuhei Sadojima, hereinafter "Safie"), the No.1 cloud recording service provider (*1), and Macnica (Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture: President Kazumasa Hara, hereinafter "Macnica") have linked their cloud recording service "Safie" and anomaly detection software "icetana (Yokohama, Japan: , hereinafter "") has launched an anomaly detection solution that promotes the optimization of security operations.

■ Background of system linkage
Recently, the activities in the security industry have diversified, and the needs of the industry are increasing, with the number of security companies continuing to increase for five consecutive years from 2017 to 2021. (*2) On the contrary, the active job openings-to-applicants ratio for the safety industry in Reiwa 4 was 7.26 times (*3), and the gap between the labor force population and the amount of work required is widening. As the number of sites and locations where security must be carried out by a small number of people increases, we clarify the parts that should be performed by humans and the parts that should be replaced by machines and systems in the work that requires accurate judgment each time, and the quality There is an urgent need to ensure

■Advantages of system collaboration
Safie and Macnica have developed an anomaly detection solution by linking the cloud recording service "Safie" with the anomaly detection software "icetana" in order to discover anomalies in security operations such as nuisances, dangerous acts, accidents, and injuries and illnesses in real time. We have started offering.

Until now, anomaly recognition and response has been centered on post-event measures, looking back at recorded images after an event has occurred, as there is a possibility that an anomaly may be overlooked due to the large amount of video data being checked by surveillance personnel. In the future, by utilizing "Safie" and "icetana", we will be able to check images from multiple cameras in real time anytime, anywhere without building a large-scale system. Unnoticed anomalies can be discovered. These merits also lead to deterrence effects by optimizing personnel allocation and repeating early response.

In addition, with this system linkage, if you are already using the "Safie" service, you can build an anomaly detection system with less investment by making use of your existing security cameras.

Both companies will contribute to further support for “on-site DX” in security operations, from the optimization of security operations to the detection and response capabilities of all kinds of abnormalities.

▼Example of anomaly detection

■ What is the cloud recording service “Safie”?
Safie is a cloud recording service with the No. 1 share that allows you to check video anytime, anywhere just by connecting your camera to the Internet.
Based on the vision of "creating the future from video," we aim to create a future where video can be useful for people's decision-making, and to create a video platform that can be easily used by everyone from companies to individuals.

We have a business concept of "DXing the 'site' of all industries with video data", and we are taking the lead in promoting DX in all fields such as retail, civil engineering/construction, manufacturing, and medical care.

SAFE is conducting educational activities in compliance with the following guidelines regarding data governance initiatives.

■ What is anomaly detection solution “icetana”?
“icetana” is a security camera support system that utilizes AI image analysis technology, and supports the discovery of all possible abnormalities from camera images. Instead of "detecting a specific event" that is assumed in advance, it detects "a state that is different from normal" and displays it to the monitor, and the monitor confirms the detection contents of "icetana" and judges the situation, and then a response is required. It is possible to judge no. Since it can be used in conjunction with existing security camera systems, security camera monitoring will enable efficient and wide-range situational awareness.

◆ Main features
1. It can detect various situations such as fires, intrusions, reverse driving, falls, crowds, etc., because the target to be detected is not a person or object, but a set of pixels.
2.Since it is possible to constantly learn the normal state and detect abnormalities from the difference, it automatically adapts to changes in the target to be detected and changes in the environment, minimizing the effort required for operation.
3. Since the camera currently in use can be used as it is, the introduction cost can be reduced, and large-scale construction is not required, and it can be introduced in a short period of time.
