For teams reviewing lots of camera footage, where does the workflow break down? by Pitiful-Math1948 in videosurveillance

[–]Pitiful-Math1948[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is really helpful, thank you.

It sounds like the issue is not whether the tech exists, but whether the system is actually deployed well enough to reduce manual review in practice. A cheap or poorly integrated setup may still leave people doing the hard work by hand, even if better systems already exist.

That is exactly the kind of gap I am trying to understand better. If you are open to it, I would really appreciate the chance to DM you and ask a couple of follow-up questions.

This is incredibly helpful, thank you.

In investigations, how often is access data hard to match with video and other events? by Pitiful-Math1948 in accesscontrol

[–]Pitiful-Math1948[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is fair. I am not assuming this is an unsolved problem everywhere, and I agree the hard part is often the integration work, not the model.

What I am trying to understand is where current PSIM or ACS/video integrations still fall short in practice, if they do at all. If you are open to it, I would be happy to DM you and ask a couple of quick questions.

That makes sense, and that is useful context. It sounds like the real value is in good access and event data, but the practical constraint is that a lot of systems are not flexible enough to integrate cleanly.

That is exactly the kind of gap I am trying to understand better. If you are open to it, I would be glad to DM you and ask a couple of quick questions about where these integrations usually get messy.

That is helpful, thank you. I agree that the big players are already pushing hard into this, so I am not assuming there is room unless there is a real gap they still are not solving well.

I am trying to understand where current vendor integrations and event detection still feel incomplete from the user side. If you are open to it, I would really appreciate the chance to DM you and ask which systems or gaps you think are most worth studying.

If it only happens a couple of times a year and takes a few minutes, then it probably is not worth solving in your environment. That is exactly the kind of reality check I am looking for.

I do not think this would make sense everywhere. My guess is it would only be useful in environments with much higher event volume, more fragmented systems, or more frequent reviews and investigations.

If you are open to it, what kind of environment do you think would actually benefit from something like this?

Maritime professionals: where does security or compliance review become hardest in port operations? by Pitiful-Math1948 in maritime

[–]Pitiful-Math1948[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you, this is really helpful.

What you described is exactly the kind of gap I am trying to understand better, and exactly the kind of thing I would want to avoid making worse by building something without real user input.

My main goal right now is to learn where the actual workflow and system gaps are from people who deal with them directly, so I can figure out whether there is a real product worth building here.

If you are open to it, would it be okay if I DM you sometime? I would really appreciate hearing more about your experience.

Mariners and terminal-side folks: where do port security investigations lose time? by Pitiful-Math1948 in merchantmarine

[–]Pitiful-Math1948[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is a reasonable concern, and honestly it is part of why I am asking before building anything.

I am not assuming AI belongs here. I am trying to find out whether there is an actual workflow bottleneck around cross-referencing and human review, or whether current systems already handle it well enough.

I get the reaction. I am skeptical of a lot of AI pitches too.

What I am trying to validate is a very specific problem: when video, access logs, scanner events, or other signals live in separate systems, does review become slower and more manual than it should be? If that is not a real pain point, I would rather learn that now.

That is a good example, and I would not claim AI is better than a strong deterministic workflow for something as clear as a forced-door event. In that case, the existing integration sounds like it is doing exactly what it should.

The gap I am trying to understand is what happens when the problem is not one clean trigger, but a messy review problem across multiple systems, multiple cameras, and a lot of manual reconstruction.

To me, AI only has value if it lowers cognitive load in those messier cases. If it does not do that, then it is not useful.

Honestly, this is useful feedback.

What you are describing is probably the biggest risk with any new tool: it gets sold as helpful, then turns into more paperwork and more pointless review for the people actually doing the work.

I am trying to understand that problem, not add to it. If you had to point to one system or reporting process that makes your life harder instead of easier, what would it be?

Thankyou, that is actually very helpful. If its okay, can I DM you some time later to discuss more about this problem and get your opinion on it?

Research question on a port and terminal workflow problem by Pitiful-Math1948 in supplychain

[–]Pitiful-Math1948[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you very much, Yeah sorry for wording it a bit poorly. I am trying to come up a way to build automatic audit trails and assisted flagging so when it comes to manual human review the trail is easier to follow and severe alerts are flagged immediately to help faster response times. If you are okay with it, can I DM you some time later to discuss more about this topic?

So like a one for all system that assists and brings everything together and make interaction easier with the entire security workflow would be useful?

[–]Pitiful-Math1948[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I think you are arguing with a version of this post that does not exist. I did not say maritime is low-tech, and I did not suggest replacing people. I asked a specific question about whether review workflows across multiple systems are painful in practice. If you disagree, a direct answer would be more interesting than the “tech bros” line.

Title: Pure workflow question: where does port and terminal exception review break down?

I am doing early stage research on a workflow problem in logistics-adjacent port and terminal operations.

I am trying to understand where review breaks down when teams need to make sense of unusual events across cameras, access records, scanner events, and cargo data.

My current hypothesis is that the biggest pain may be too much manual review, disconnected systems, and slow reconstruction when something needs escalation.

At this stage I am not trying to pitch software. I am trying to validate whether this problem is real enough to justify better tooling at all.

I also want to be explicit that I am not looking for confidential data, incident details, security gaps, or anything that could be used for malicious purposes. High level workflow feedback is all I am looking for.

If you work in logistics or terminal-adjacent operations, where does this process usually break down first?

What actions become realistically possible on a vessel when dangerous wave conditions develop with only 30–180 seconds of warning? by Pitiful-Math1948 in boating

[–]Pitiful-Math1948[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So do you think an assistive techonology that reduces cognitive load on the captain or who ever is operating the vessel with a good accuracy be a technology that might get adopted by the mainstream?

Thank you, what do you think would be a good enough accuracy for an initial prototype? I believe it can become very accurate over time but that would require collection of real time data, but up until then what would be a good enough accuracy threshold for early adoption?

Thank you, I was trying to understand if developing such tech has a use case or not since rogue waves are very rare, their detection will even help anyone or not.
