VIDEO ANALYTICS

AI video analytics for existing CCTV cameras

AI video analytics helps a team find defined events in camera footage and review the evidence. Elpidaa scopes camera compatibility, event rules, processing and the operator response around your site. A pilot should measure useful alerts and mistakes before more cameras are connected.

01 · PROJECT PLANNING

Turn an event into a workflow

Define a review area, an event rule and a responsible operator. An alert should contain enough context to understand what happened, where it happened and which source footage to check. Decide which events need immediate attention and which belong in an operational report.

02 · PROJECT PLANNING

Make the pilot representative

Include the lighting, crowding and operating patterns seen on a normal working day. Review both missed events and false alerts. A convincing demonstration on one image is a starting point, not evidence that every camera will perform the same way.

03 · PROJECT PLANNING

Connect carefully

Agree the supported camera streams, processing location, permissions, recording retention and notification channels. Test the complete path from a visible event to an operator receiving and acknowledging it.

A common question

Can the public Studio monitor my whole site?+

No. It evaluates selected images or sampled camera frames. A multi-camera deployment needs separately scoped infrastructure, configuration and operational testing.

SCOPE YOUR PROJECT

Decide what belongs in your pilot.

Useful when a team has specific events to review and a person responsible for responding. Start with one camera view and one operational decision. If a camera cannot show the event clearly, improve the view before adding analytics.

Warehouse event review

Flag defined movement near a loading area so an operator can review the relevant footage. Separate ordinary dispatch activity from the events that matter.

Restricted-area monitoring

Assess crossings of a defined boundary, with active hours and permitted movement agreed before testing.

Multi-camera incident triage

Give reviewers a camera name, timestamp, event rule and source image so they can decide what needs follow-up.

What affects the project cost?

Camera count is one input. The proposal should separate changes to camera views, processing hardware, software licences, installation, notification integrations, training and ongoing support. Clarify which costs recur and what changes when additional cameras are connected.

Compare the available approaches

Compare existing recorder or camera rules with a separate analytics system using the events you need, supported streams, operator workflow and maintenance effort. A separate platform may help combine events and integrations; a small requirement may already fit the existing system. Test the actual workflow before choosing.

Agree how you will evaluate it.

Use representative conditions and record the method, results and limitations before expanding.

CHECK 1

Relevant events found

Label events in representative footage independently, then compare the events surfaced by the system. Keep missed and uncertain events visible.

CHECK 2

False-alert workload

Count alerts that do not meet the agreed rule per camera per operating period, alongside the time staff spend reviewing them.

CHECK 3

Response and recovery

Measure event-to-notification and acknowledgement time. Test camera loss, a failed notification and recovery after restart.

Questions before you begin

Can AI analytics work with our existing CCTV?

Possibly. Confirm the camera and recorder models, authorized stream access, supported formats and image quality for each intended event. A working stream alone does not establish that the view is suitable.

Does video analytics replace our guards or operators?

An alert needs an agreed response. Scope how staff review footage, dismiss mistakes and escalate incidents; detections alone do not establish what happened or replace site procedures.

Where will our camera footage be processed?

Agree processing, recording, logs and backups in the project architecture. On-site, private-environment or hybrid options need separate scoping. The public Vision Studio processes selected images and enabled frames on Elpidaa’s server.

What happens when a camera or network connection fails?

Define outage detection, operator notification, any buffering and recovery before installation. Include those cases in the pilot; do not assume monitoring continues during a loss of video.

What information is needed for an initial proposal?

Share the camera count, camera and recorder model names, site location, priority events and who reviews alerts. Use the project brief for requirements; arrange technical credentials separately.

Bring your site location, camera details and the decision you want to improve.

YOUR NEXT STEP

Request a scoped CCTV proposal

Tell us your site type, camera count and the event you want to review. We’ll clarify camera suitability, the pilot and an itemized project scope.

Ask about equipment, integration, installation, training and recurring support. Assessment dates and commercial terms are agreed with the team.
