From the people who use it daily

Operations directors, CTOs and plant managers — the ones still using the system a year after the invoice cleared.

FAQ

The things people ask before they commit.

Still have questions?

Ask it on the call. We would rather answer an awkward question early than discover it in month three.

What is AI video analytics?

AI video analytics applies computer vision to CCTV footage so cameras can recognise people, vehicles, objects and behaviour. Instead of reviewing recordings after an incident, it sends an alert when it sees an event you've defined, and ignores movement from animals, weather and shadows.

Can AI video analytics work with existing CCTV cameras?

In most cases, yes. AI video analytics can run on footage from existing IP cameras if the resolution, angle and lighting suit the task. Older analogue systems may need an encoder or camera upgrade. A site assessment confirms this before any work starts.

How does AI reduce false alarms in CCTV?

Traditional motion detection triggers on any movement, including animals, trees, rain and headlights. AI video analytics recognises what is moving and alerts only on the objects and behaviour you've chosen, such as a person in a restricted zone, which cuts the alarms operators must check.

Can AI detect whether workers are wearing PPE?

Yes. AI video analytics can detect hard hats, high-visibility clothing and other visible safety equipment, alerting in real time or producing compliance reports. Accuracy depends on camera position and distance, which are checked in the pilot.

Is AI video analytics legal in the UK?

AI video analytics can be used lawfully in the UK when it complies with UK GDPR: a clear purpose, telling people about the cameras and keeping footage only as long as needed. Uses that identify individuals carry extra requirements. Take legal advice for your specific deployment.

Do you offer facial recognition?

Our focus is analytics that detect objects and behaviour without identifying who someone is, such as intrusion, PPE and vehicle detection. Facial recognition carries extra legal and ethical requirements in the UK.

Does AI video analytics need the cloud?

No. Analytics can run on a device on site, on your own servers or in the cloud. On-site processing keeps video private and works with limited internet; cloud processing suits multi-site monitoring.
