AI & Analytics

Security That Thinks.
Not Just Watches.

The last five years have transformed what security cameras can do. Modern AI analytics do not just record — they detect, alert, search and analyse in real time, giving your security team capabilities that were impossible with traditional CCTV. We offer complete, compliant AI and analytics packages built specifically for schools and the public sector.

What Has Changed

From Passive Recording to Active Intelligence

Traditional CCTV records what happens. AI analytics understands what is happening and tells you about it immediately. The difference in capability — and in practical value to a security team — is substantial.

Traditional CCTV
Records continuously to a hard drive
Someone must watch a screen to notice an incident
Reviewing footage for a specific event takes hours of manual scrubbing
No alert until a person reports something
Motion detection creates constant false alerts
Finding a specific person or vehicle in hours of footage is extremely time-consuming
Evidence quality depends on whether the camera happened to be pointing the right way
AI-Enabled Analytics
Analyses every frame in real time, continuously
Sends an alert the moment a defined event occurs
Forensic search finds a specific person or vehicle in seconds
Virtual tripwires and zones trigger immediate notifications
Distinguishes between people, vehicles and animals — far fewer false alerts
Search by clothing colour, vehicle type or plate across all cameras simultaneously
Proactively directs attention to areas of risk before an incident escalates
Capabilities

What AI Analytics Can Do for Your Site

These are not experimental features. They are proven, deployed capabilities available in the systems we install today.

Virtual Tripwires
Draw a line anywhere on the camera view. Any person or vehicle crossing it in either direction triggers an immediate alert. Ideal for perimeter boundaries, restricted area entrances and out-of-hours monitoring.
Real-time alert
Loitering Detection
Define a zone and a time threshold. If a person remains in that zone longer than the defined period, an alert is sent. Particularly effective for car parks, building entrances and areas with a history of anti-social behaviour.
Configurable threshold
Forensic Video Search
Search hours of recorded footage in seconds. Specify clothing colour, vehicle type, direction of travel or time window. The system returns timestamped clips from across all cameras — what used to take hours now takes seconds.
Seconds not hours
People Counting
Monitor occupancy in real time. Automatic counting of people entering and leaving defined areas — useful for capacity management, evacuation accountability and understanding how your site is actually used.
Real-time occupancy
Vehicle Detection & ANPR
Detect vehicles by type and, with ANPR cameras, read number plates automatically. Create allowed and blocked vehicle lists. Receive alerts when unrecognised vehicles access restricted areas or when specific plates are detected.
Automatic plate reading
Automated Threat Detection
AI models trained to detect specific behaviours — abandoned objects, aggressive movement, crowd formation, perimeter climbing. Alerts are sent immediately with camera images attached, giving your monitoring team immediate context.
Behaviour analysis
Forensic Search

Find Anyone, Anything, in Seconds

A traditional CCTV investigation means a member of staff sitting through hours of footage, camera by camera, trying to find a specific person. A school investigating a safeguarding concern might spend a full working day on this. With AI forensic search, the same result takes under a minute.

You describe what you are looking for — person in a red jacket, blue saloon car, male, approximate height — and the system searches every camera simultaneously, returning every clip where the search criteria are matched with timestamps and camera locations.

This is not just faster. It is more thorough. Manual review misses things. Automated search does not.

Example search
Person • Dark jacket, blue jeans • Yesterday 14:00–16:00
4 matches found across 3 cameras in 2.3 seconds
14:12:34
Main Entrance — Cam 1
98% match
14:18:07
Car Park — Cam 4
95% match
15:44:19
Side Gate — Cam 7
97% match
15:51:03
Car Park — Cam 4
91% match
Compliance

Built for UK Schools and Public Sector Law

AI analytics raises specific compliance questions that do not apply to traditional CCTV. Facial recognition, biometric data processing and automated decision-making all carry higher obligations under UK GDPR. We are explicit about what our systems do and do not do.

Every AI analytics package we supply is configured and documented to comply with UK GDPR, the Surveillance Camera Code of Practice and KCSiE. We do not install capabilities that we cannot help you evidence compliance for.

Permitted
Object and behaviour detection Detecting objects, behaviours and events without identifying specific individuals. Tripwires, loitering detection and crowd analysis do not process biometric data and sit within standard GDPR legitimate interests.
Permitted
Attribute-based forensic search Searching footage by clothing colour, approximate size or vehicle type does not constitute biometric processing and is permissible under existing CCTV lawful basis with appropriate documentation.
Permitted
Vehicle detection and ANPR Number plate reading for access management is permissible with a documented lawful basis, clear signage and a retention policy. We provide the documentation templates.
Requires advice
Facial recognition Facial recognition processes biometric data — special category data under UK GDPR. The threshold for lawful deployment in schools and public spaces is very high. We advise on this case by case and will not install it where compliance cannot be evidenced.
