This article presents an AI-enabled Smart Video Surveillance (SVS) designed to enhance safety in community spaces such as educational and recreational areas, and small businesses. The proposed system innovatively integrates with existing CCTV and wired camera networks, simplifying its adoption across various community cases to leverage recent AI advancements. Our SVS system, focusing on privacy, uses metadata instead of pixel data for activity recognition, aligning with ethical standards. It features cloud-based infrastructure and a mobile app for real-time, privacy-conscious alerts in communities. This article notably pioneers a comprehensive real-world evaluation of the SVS system, covering AI-driven visual processing, statistical analysis, database management, cloud communication, and user notifications. It's also the first to assess an end-to-end anomaly detection system's performance, vital for identifying potential public safety incidents. For our evaluation, we implemented the system in a community college, serving as an ideal model to exemplify the proposed system's capabilities. Our findings in this setting demonstrate the system's robustness, with throughput, latency, and scalability effectively managing 16 CCTV cameras. The system maintained a consistent 16.5 frames per second (FPS) over a 21-hour operation. The average end-to-end latency for detecting behavioral anomalies and alerting users was 26.76 seconds.

本文介绍了一个基于人工智能的智能视频监控系统，旨在提高社区空间（如教育、休闲区域和小型企业）的安全性。该系统采用元数据而非像素数据进行活动识别，注重隐私，并具备基于云端基础架构和移动应用的实时警报功能。此外，该文还首次对全面的实时异常检测系统进行了评估，用于识别潜在的公共安全事件。通过在社区学院中的实施，作者验证了系统的鲁棒性和性能，提供了关于吞吐量、延迟和伸缩性的实际数据。
