Real-Time Employee Monitoring System using CCTV Cameras

In this approach, we detail an approach to monitoring employees using preexisting setups such as CCTV camera feeds and a network connection. With this approach, we try to lower the system requirements to make it available to a wide range of setups. By relying on a software-based approach, employers can try it out and decide whether they wish to continue to subscribe, unlike a hardware-based approach, where they are locked onto the plan after the installation of the hardware. This approach will be modular in nature, where certain steps can be swapped out for more effective ones. It entails security personnel watching live CCTV footage. Instead of looking for anomalies, they might occasionally examine employees to ensure they are working, thus acting as remote supervisors. This function can be automated to create a more streamlined approach. This approach will predominantly use an employee’s estimated position to predict whether they are working. This will depend on the type of job that they have. Through frequent sampling at regular intervals, we can estimate the amount of time an employee has spent working. This is a measure of the time spent working and not an employee’s productivity. Though this model provides a basis for further derivative models, it has things that can be improved. One such factor would be to add further evaluation metrics to make the model more precise.
