CCTV analytics

Software that reads existing camera feeds and turns video into searchable safety events.

What it means

CCTV analytics uses computer vision to classify events in camera footage. In a safety deployment, the useful output is not a dashboard chart. It is a timely event with camera, zone, timestamp, and action context.

Why it matters

Most facilities already record enough video. The gap is active interpretation during the moment when a response can still change the outcome.

Evaluation questions

Does the platform work with current RTSP or ONVIF streams?

Does it create events operators trust?

Can it reduce manual review instead of adding another screen?
