Abstract - With technology development at breakneck speed, the need for advanced surveillance systems is become increasingly critical, especially when it comes to ensuring safety in high-risk environments. This work aims to develop Smart Surveillance and Crisis Detection tools for emergencies, so identifying weapon use, physical altercations, theft, and distress sounds, by evaluating real-time video and audio data using machine learning. It looks at the video and audio streams using artificial intelligence techniques using CNN, RNN, SVM, and YOLO for theft detection to help to identify significant events and notify relevant authorities.The project combines several detection models: object detection models forms the basis of theft detection, scream detection uses audio classification methods, and fight detection uses deep learning architectures. By means of training over several datasets, the system gains the capacity to consistently distinguish between regular tasks and emergencies. The main goals of the system are to increase public safety and response times in homes, stores, malls, and industrial sites. The proposed solution will create a reliable monitoring and emergency management segment and will do so with high efficiency and automation, thus enhancing the security level in various environments.

1.INTRODUCTION

Safety and security have driven high-risk environments including malls, residential areas, businesses, and public spaces to expand quickly. This expanded market has been accommodating for intelligent surveillance systems. In contrast to being effective at monitoring, traditional surveillance systems usually lack the ability to detect and respondtoapotentialcrisisinreal-time.Thisrealizationhas led to the intelligent development of surveillance systems powered by AI, which can not only surveil but also timely detect critical events such as weapon use, theft, physical altercation,fire,andevendistresssounds.

AI and ML have rapidly evolved to allow building higher autonomoussystemsforcrisisdetection.Suchsystemswould
