The rapid advancements in technology have led to the development of intelligent systems that assist in daily activities, with one key area being Crime Detection. This task involves analyzing time-series data to classify human actions, and the use of video datasets has become crucial for recognizing complex activities. Video provides dynamic, sequential information that enhances the accuracy of crime detection, as relying on a single frame is insufficient. Traditional surveillance systems, which require manual monitoring, are labor-intensive and prone to errors, especially with the increasing volume of video data generated by modern CCTV infrastructures. To overcome these limitations, this paper proposes an automated Anomaly Recognition System using deep learning techniques to detect and analyze offensive or disruptive actions in real time. The system employs a hybrid architecture combining Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for spatial feature extraction and Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) for temporal pattern recognition. This approach allows for accurate identification of a wide range of human activities, from routine actions to critical behaviors such as theft, vandalism, fights, and medical emergencies. The system is validated using publicly available datasets like UCF-Crime, which includes normal and suspicious behaviors. Furthermore, the system integrates image captioning and predictive analytics to enhance its functionality. These features enable the generation of searchable event logs and forecasting of crime patterns for proactive intervention. By automating surveillance, the system aims to improve efficiency, accuracy, and responsiveness, addressing challenges in crime prevention and public safety. This research contributes to the development of intelligent surveillance systems, focusing on real-time, scalable solutions, and highlights challenges related to model generalization, scalability, and privacy for ethical deployment. Ultimately, the work aims to improve safety, security, and quality of life in diverse environments.
