A control room cannot watch two hundred screens

Beyond a few dozen cameras, live monitoring stops being a security control and becomes a formality. Recording still has value after the fact, but nobody is actually watching in the moment.

Analytics change what the operator is asked to do. Instead of scanning a wall, they work a queue of detected events, each with the clip attached. Coverage becomes something you can measure rather than something you hope for.

Capabilities

  • Live view, continuous and event recording, instant playback
  • Intrusion, loitering, line crossing and zone rules
  • Face recognition and licence plate recognition
  • Object classification and metadata search
  • Control room video wall and mobile clients
  • ONVIF and RTSP camera compatibility
  • Edge inference to reduce bandwidth
  • Redundant recording with failover
  • Tamper-evident export for evidence

How it is used

Perimeter and intrusion

Line crossing, zone entry and loitering on the fence line and at controlled doors, with a clip attached to every event so the operator judges rather than investigates.

Access and identification

Face recognition against an enrolled list and licence plate recognition at vehicle gates, tied into access control so a denied entry produces a reviewable record.

Data centre floor

Tailgating detection at the mantrap, rack-aisle presence during change windows, and a visual record aligned to the DCIM change log for audit.

Search that finds things

Filter recorded footage by time, camera, object class and event type. Pulling the relevant thirty seconds out of three weeks takes moments rather than an afternoon.

Edge inference

Detection runs at or near the camera, so only events and metadata cross the network. Bandwidth and central compute both drop sharply on large deployments.

Open camera estate

ONVIF and RTSP support means you keep the cameras you have. There is no requirement to standardise on one manufacturer to get analytics.

Questions about VMS and Video Analytics

Will it work with our existing cameras?

If they are ONVIF compliant or expose an RTSP stream, yes. That covers most cameras installed in the last decade. We audit the estate first and tell you which units, if any, will not carry analytics reliably.

How much storage will we need?

It depends on camera count, bitrate, recording hours and retention. The video storage calculator gives a working figure in a few seconds, including parity overhead.

Does footage leave our network?

No. Recording, analytics and retention all happen on infrastructure you own. There is no vendor cloud in the path.

How many false alarms should we expect?

Rules are tuned per scene during commissioning, using your own footage in your own lighting and weather. Expect several weeks of tuning after go-live before the event queue settles to a level a control room can sustain.
