Possible uses of video cameras with AI-driven video analysis in the field of security. Final report

As part of the project, the possible uses of video camera systems with AI-driven video analysis for securing facilities with very high protection requirements, especially nuclear facilities, were investigated. The aim was to record the technical and software capabilities of these systems, to assess their reliability and applicability, and to identify possible limitations and risks. Nuclear facilities require a high level of protection and already make extensive use of video technology. AI-driven video analysis could improve and supplement existing systems. The suitability of this technology for the specific requirements of securing nuclear facilities was investigated. For the project, the theoretical aspects of AI technology and security technology were investigated, the current state of the art was determined, market research was carried out, and based on this, the application and deployment options of video camera systems equipped with AI-driven video analysis were analyzed. Technical detection systems are already established in nuclear facilities. However, AI-driven video analysis is not yet widespread in these facilities. AI-supported systems have particular potential in person recognition and behavior analysis, but can also be used to check alarm messages and for general monitoring. The key to the successful use of the systems is a low false alarm rate with a high probability of detection. The study showed that current systems still need to prove their reliability for use in nuclear facilities through practical tests. The results of the project can be used to further develop existing and new security concepts for nuclear facilities.
