Frequently asked questions
How is this different from industrial safety with cameras?
Industrial safety is about the rules being followed: PPE, restricted areas, person down. This is everything else the camera can see and count — how many people passed through an area, which vehicles came in, when something specific happened.
Can I know how many people pass through an area?
Yes. The camera counts people by area and by time slot, which helps both to size shifts and to understand the flow inside the plant.
Does it work for access and vehicle control?
Yes. Entry points and the perimeter can be watched, and vehicle entries and exits recorded.
Can I search for something specific without watching hours of footage?
That is one of the most appreciated uses: instead of reviewing the whole video, you search by type of event and the system takes you straight to the moments where it happened.
Can it detect smoke or fire before ceiling sensors?
It recognises smoke or flame in the image from the first seconds, without waiting for the heat to reach a ceiling detector. It is complementary early detection, not a replacement for the fire system.
Do I need to change my cameras?
No. The analytics is installed on the IP cameras already in the plant. If the fleet is analogue it has to be migrated to IP: without a digital stream there is no analytics.
