Capabilities - Behavioral Analytics
Behavioral Analytics goes beyond simple object detection to analyze how people and crowds behave in a scene. Built on ConductScience's foundations in behavioral science research, the system can classify complex events such as loitering, aggressive physical interactions, crowd surges, abandoned objects, and unusual movement patterns. These are inherently more challenging than object detection — the system addresses the real-world difficulty of interpreting human behavior from video with transparent confidence scoring on every detection. It is designed as a decision-support tool that alerts trained operators to situations requiring human judgment.

How it works - Behavioral Analytics in three steps
Get started with behavioral analytics in minutes using your existing camera infrastructure.
- Use Existing Camera Infrastructure. Behavioral Analytics works with your existing surveillance cameras. The system requires only standard video feeds — no specialized cameras or sensors. Overlapping camera views improve accuracy for complex behaviors.
- Classify Behaviors Over Time. Unlike single-frame detection, behavioral analysis processes sequences of frames to understand actions and interactions. The system tracks individuals across time, analyzing pose, velocity, proximity, and group dynamics to classify events.
- Alert Operators on Anomalies. When behavior crosses defined thresholds — a person loitering beyond a time limit, a physical altercation, or a sudden crowd movement — the system alerts security operators with video context. All classifications include confidence scores.
Features
Everything you need for production-grade behavioral analytics.
- Loitering Detection. Identifies individuals remaining in a defined area beyond a configurable time threshold. Time thresholds and zone boundaries are set per camera view.
- Aggression and Fight Detection. Classifies rapid, forceful physical interactions between individuals as potential fights or aggressive encounters. Alerts include video clips for operator verification.
- Crowd Surge Detection. Monitors crowd density and movement velocity to detect dangerous surges, stampede-like conditions, or sudden crowd dispersal. Triggers escalating alerts based on severity.
- Abandoned Object Detection. Flags stationary objects that appear in a scene and remain unattended beyond a configured time. Reduces false positives by tracking whether an owner is nearby.
- Unusual Movement Patterns. Detects movement that deviates from normal patterns — running in a normally walking area, moving against crowd flow, or erratic directional changes.
- Trip-Wire and Boundary Crossing. Defines virtual lines and boundaries that trigger alerts when crossed by people or vehicles. Directional filtering enables entry-only or exit-only monitoring.
- Tailgating Detection. Identifies unauthorized individuals following authorized personnel through access-controlled doors. Detects when more people pass through a door than credentials presented.
- Confidence-Based Filtering. Every behavioral classification includes a confidence score. Operators can set per-behavior thresholds to balance sensitivity against false alarm rates for their specific environment.
Use cases
Real-world applications of behavioral analytics across industries.
Transit Station Security
Metro and rail stations need to detect loitering, aggressive behavior, and abandoned bags across dozens of cameras. Behavioral analytics can prioritize feeds requiring immediate attention, reducing operator fatigue.
- Transportation
- Smart City
Retail Shrinkage Prevention
Shoplifting often involves predictable behavioral patterns — loitering near high-value merchandise, concealment gestures, and unusual exit behavior. Anomaly detection can flag suspicious activity for loss prevention staff.
- Retail
Stadium and Arena Crowd Safety
Large venues need to detect crowd surges, bottlenecks, and altercations in real time. Crowd dynamics monitoring can enable safety teams to intervene before dangerous conditions develop.
- Events
- Hospitality
Hospital and Healthcare Facility Safety
Emergency departments and behavioral health units experience elevated rates of aggressive incidents. Early detection of escalating interactions can give security staff time to respond and de-escalate.
- Healthcare
Smart City Public Safety
City surveillance networks monitor public spaces for safety. Behavioral analytics can transform passive monitoring into proactive alerting, detecting incidents that would be missed in banks of video feeds.
- Smart City
- Government
Campus Security After Hours
Universities and corporate campuses are less populated at night but still require security coverage. Loitering, boundary crossing, and unusual movement detection can supplement reduced overnight guard patrols.
- Education
- Corporate
Parking Structure Safety
Parking garages have complex sightlines and multiple levels. Behavioral detection can identify loitering, aggressive encounters, and vehicles circling suspiciously, alerting security to investigate.
