Who this is for

For teams that want to know if the current camera estate is ready before buying new hardware.

The buyer question

Can the current CCTV estate support the first safety AI pilot?

Camera view

Score whether the camera sees the full event path, has enough resolution, handles lighting, and avoids major occlusion. A camera that only sees the exit side of a blind corner will miss the approach, which is exactly the half-second a forklift-pedestrian alert needs.

Stream and network

Score RTSP or ONVIF availability, credential access, network location, and stream stability.

Workflow readiness

Score whether alert recipients, escalation paths, review cadence, and pilot KPIs are defined.

How to use this with DHI

Use this page as a pre-pilot checklist. Pick one zone, one event type, one alert owner, and one review cadence. If the current cameras cannot support the workflow, fix the camera plan before expanding the deployment.
