# Introduction to Scene Analysis

Scene analysis recognizes events in video that you consider important. Typical examples of objects and events you might want to detect in CCTV footage include:

- A vehicle breaking traffic laws, for example by running a red light.
- Abandoned bags.
- Abandoned vehicles.
- Traffic congestion.
- Zone breaches and trip wire events, for example a person entering a restricted area.

NOTE: Media Server 12.5 and later support surveillance configurations based on object class recognition, which provides more accurate object detection and tracking, and is easier to configure. For more information, see Object Class Recognition for Surveillance.
