Automated video analytics: every camera becomes a data source

Video is the most information-dense sensor most businesses own and the least measured. Automated analytics turns feeds into numbers — footfall, occupancy, dwell time, incidents — that land in an event store and API your tools can query.

01

What this gets you

Decisions from data, not from memory

Footfall by hour, occupancy trends, queue lengths at peak — measured continuously instead of guessed. The event store keeps timestamps, locations and confidence scores for every event.

Compliance and capacity, monitored automatically

Occupancy limits, restricted areas, safety corridors — enforced by detection and alerting instead of spot checks.

Alerts only for what matters

Deduplication and event-level logic mean overlapping cameras don't triple-count the same person, and your team isn't buried in noise.

Runs where your video lives

Edge devices (Jetson) for sites with limited bandwidth, or a central server where you have it — with ONNX/TensorRT optimization to squeeze the most out of the hardware.

How it works

1. Define the events that matter to the business

Before any model runs: what number or alert changes a decision? That defines the event schema — not the other way round.

2. Detection and tracking over your feeds

YOLO detection plus tracking, tuned for throughput on your hardware, produce consistent identities rather than raw detections.

3. Events land in a queryable store

Timestamps, camera IDs, bounding boxes and scores persist to MongoDB or PostgreSQL behind an API — consumable by your dashboards, not locked in the vendor's portal.

4. Dashboards and alerts on top

Whatever your team already uses — webhooks, WhatsApp alerts, BI tools pulling from the API. The data is yours.

Frequently asked questions

Is this the same as my NVR's motion detection?

No. Motion detection tells you pixels moved. Video analytics tells you what moved, where, when and for how long — as structured events you can query and count.

Can it count the same person across multiple cameras?

Tracking keeps identities consistent within a feed, and deduplication windows handle overlapping cameras. Re-identification across non-overlapping cameras is a harder problem and is scoped honestly if you need it.

Who owns the data?

You do. Events persist to your database behind your API — not a vendor portal you lose access to when the contract ends.

What's the deployment timeline?

A working pipeline on one feed typically comes first, then a measured throughput report, then scaling to your camera count. The exact shape gets agreed in a written scope before work starts.
