How to Automate Surveillance Easily with Deep Learning

Surveillance is an integral part of security and patrol. For the most part, the job entails extended periods of looking out for something undesirable to happen. It is crucial that we do this, but also it is a very mundane task. Wouldn't life be much simpler if there was something that could do the "watching and waiting" for us? With the advancements in technology over the past few years, we could write some scripts to automate the above tasks -- and that too, rather easily. Anyone familiar with Deep Learning would know that image classifiers have surpassed human level accuracy. So yes, a machine can keep a lookout for objects at the same standard (or better) when compared to a human. With that being said, using technology to perform surveillance is much more efficient.
