Acoustic monitoring system

Acoustic monitoring system capabilities

The system is designed to maintain law and order and prevent offenses in municipalities.

The acoustic monitoring system collects information about the acoustic environment, detects and analyzes signs of alarm events in the audio stream, and provides:

continuous monitoring of the acoustic environment;
recognition of alarm events;
display of events on a map;
integration of audio data with the video surveillance system;
alerting the operator for timely response, action and elimination of consequences;
event archiving with automated search for the requested information.

Efficiency

The acoustic monitoring system makes efficient use of computing power, server resources and budget funds.

Domestic development

The solution is based on in-house development by JSC «Design Centre «Kristal»

Guarding safety

The acoustic monitoring system is an indispensable assistant to the Emergencies Ministry, the police and other emergency services

Effect of implementation

The acoustic monitoring system is an integral analytical link in ensuring the safety of people and territories. Its implementation leads to:

fewer offenses thanks to faster response and decision-making;
lower costs of dealing with the consequences of emergencies;
higher efficiency of the integrated security system;
savings in computing and server storage resources, since the audio stream has a much lower information density and is processed without being transmitted to a central server;
efficient use of budget funds within the federal «Safe City» program.

Elements of the acoustic monitoring system

All elements of the system are developed by JSC «Design Centre «Kristal». The main components of the system are:

detecting devices (collect information about the acoustic environment);
central software (consolidates information from all detecting devices, performs detailed analysis and automates the workstations of dispatch center operators);
analytical software modules (provide deep and detailed event analytics);
additional software products (integrate the acoustic monitoring system with other security tools: synchronized operation with video surveillance and alarm systems).

Operating scenarios

Detectors are installed in crowded places, crime hot spots and places where video surveillance is difficult. The acoustic monitoring system can operate either on its own or together with video surveillance systems and is used for various practical security tasks, such as:

acoustic monitoring together with entrance CCTV cameras;
acoustic monitoring in elevators of apartment buildings;
acoustic monitoring of playgrounds;
acoustic monitoring in public transport;
acoustic monitoring on railway tracks;
noise pollution mapping of districts.

From design to commissioning

The system can be designed and deployed in the shortest possible time. Implementation stages, from the customer's first interest to commissioning:

identifying the customer's requirements for the system in specific conditions and choosing installation locations;
designing the acoustic monitoring system;
integration with the video surveillance system;
deployment of the acoustic monitoring system;
setup, testing and trial demonstration of the system;
staff training;
operation of the acoustic monitoring system.
