Industries

The same video management software (VMS) and video analytics run in city traffic systems, defence control rooms, airport terminals, stores and factories. Each sector switches on the detections it needs.

Works with: Existing IP cameras and recorders over ONVIF and RTSP
Deployment: Edge, on-premise or cloud, mixed in one estate
Delivered with: OEMs, security solution providers and system integrators

Sectors at a glance

Where the cameras usually are in each sector, and what the software does with them. The sections below give the detail.

Sector	Where the cameras are	What the software does
Smart cities	Highways, junctions, markets and public places	Detects traffic violations and links each one to a number plate. Monitors crowds in public places.
Defence	Perimeters and control rooms of bases and cantonments	Raises perimeter intrusion alerts. Runs video walls and a map view on an air-gapped network.
Airports	Terminals, railway stations and bus depots	Flags unattended baggage and crowd build-up. Groups the cameras of each zone on one console.
Retail	Store aisles, entrances and billing counters	Shows where shoppers walk and wait. Counts footfall and alerts on queue length.
Industrial	Production lines, docks, gates and yards	Checks personal protective equipment (PPE) and danger zones. Counts movement in and out.

Smart cities and traffic

A city has more junctions and public places than officers to watch them. A traffic violation is over in seconds, and a penalty needs evidence that ties the offence to a vehicle.

Highway and junction enforcement: Cameras detect riders without helmets, triple riding and wrong-way driving, by day and by night.
Evidence for penalty notices: Automatic number-plate recognition (ANPR), tuned for Indian plates, reads the vehicle's plate. Each violation becomes a plate-linked evidence record for the e-challan (electronic traffic penalty notice) workflow.
Stolen and flagged vehicles: Plates are matched against a watchlist. A stolen or flagged vehicle raises an alert when a camera reads its plate.
Public places and markets: Crowd monitoring reports density, flow and suspicious behaviour. Face recognition can match faces against a watchlist in real time.
Command centre feeds: Alerts and live views reach traffic police dashboards and the city's integrated command and control centre (ICCC).

Defence and paramilitary

Sensitive sites often run on networks with no outside connection. Perimeters are long, control rooms are staffed day and night, and operator actions have to be accounted for.

Perimeter watch: Intrusion detection uses tripwires and restricted zones along the perimeter of a base or cantonment.
Watchlist matching: Face recognition can match faces against a watchlist database in real time.
Video walls and alert handling: Operators arrange cameras on multi-monitor video walls with drag-and-drop layouts. Escalation workflows and standard operating procedure (SOP) prompts guide the operator's response to an alert.
Map correlation: Cameras and alerts are overlaid on a GIS (geographic information system) or satellite map. An operator sees where an event is, not only which camera saw it.
Air-gapped operation: Analytics run on on-premise servers and video stays inside the site network. Software and models are updated offline with signed packages.
Audit and access control: Alerts and operator actions are written to an audit trail. Access is set by role, for each camera and each function.

Airports and transport

Airport terminals, railway stations and bus depots are open to the public for long hours. Cameras are spread across halls, corridors, platforms and car parks, and security and operations teams share them.

One console across the site

Cameras are grouped into views that follow the building, for example aerobridges, check-in, arrivals and airside corridors. Analytics alerts appear in the same console, with a video bookmark for replay.

Retail and malls

Stores already have cameras for security. The same cameras can show how shoppers move through the store, where they stop and when queues build.

Heatmaps and dwell time: A heatmap shows movement density across the floor and how long people stay in each zone. Store teams use it to plan layouts, staffing and merchandising.
Footfall and queues: People counting gives in and out counts at each entrance. Queue-length alerts at billing counters tell a manager when to open another counter.
Loss prevention: Loitering detection flags a person who stays too long in a sensitive zone. Face recognition can match faces against a watchlist.
After-hours watch: Intrusion detection covers the store when it is closed.
Chains and multi-site estates: The cloud deployment option suits estates with many sites. It gives central dashboards, updates and storage.

Industrial and warehousing

On a shop floor, safety rules have to hold on each shift, not only when a supervisor is watching. At docks and gates, what goes in and out has to be counted, often at night.
