Privacy-first video analytics

Video analytics designed around local processing and limited data movement.

What it means

Privacy-first video analytics keeps raw video under the site owner's control by default and moves only structured event data or policy-approved clips when needed.

Why it matters

Where video goes determines the privacy review. Local processing gives IT, legal, labor, and security teams clearer control over sensitive footage.

Evaluation questions

  • Does raw video leave the site?
  • Who approves clip export and retention?
  • Can the deployment run without cloud video streaming?
