Are Multimodal LLMs Ready for Surveillance? A Reality Check on Zero-Shot Anomaly Detection in the Wild

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2603.04727v2 Announce Type: replace Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have nstrated impressive general competence in video understanding, yet their reliability for real-world Video Anomaly Detection (VAD) remains largely unexplored. Unlike conventional pipelines relying on reconstruction or pose-based cues, MLLMs enable a paradigm shift: treating anomaly detection as a language-guided reasoning task.
