How does AI video analytics work?
It ingests your camera streams over RTSP/ONVIF, runs deep-learning models on each frame to detect and classify what's happening, then matches it against your rules and zones. When something matters it raises an alert, logs evidence and updates a dashboard in real time.
AI video analytics vs traditional CCTV — what's the difference?
Traditional CCTV only records footage for someone to review later. AI video analytics actively watches every feed, flags events as they happen and makes video searchable — turning passive cameras into a proactive safety, security and operations tool.
Do I need special cameras for video analytics?
No. The software works with most existing IP and CCTV cameras over RTSP/ONVIF, so you usually don't replace hardware. Good placement, resolution and lighting improve accuracy, but the intelligence is in the software.
How accurate is it, and can it reduce false alarms?
Well-tuned systems reach around 95% or higher detection accuracy and cut false alarms sharply by using AI to distinguish real events from noise like shadows, animals or headlights. Accuracy depends on camera angle and lighting, and improves when models are tuned to your site.
How much does video analytics cost in India?
Pricing is usually per camera, per site, or per detection module on a monthly or annual subscription, and scales with feeds and features. Because Sieora uses your existing cameras, you typically skip new-hardware costs, and a free pilot lets you validate ROI first.
What can video analytics detect?
Common detections include intrusion, loitering and line-crossing, PPE and safety compliance, number plates (ANPR), people counting and footfall, fire and smoke, crowd density and abandoned objects. Modules can be combined on one platform for your sites.
Which industries use video analytics?
Manufacturing, warehousing and logistics, retail and malls, banking, gated communities, healthcare, and smart-city or government all use it. Any organization with cameras and a need for faster response or operational insight is a fit.
Can it run on existing CCTV without new hardware or the cloud?
Yes. It connects to your current cameras over RTSP, and can run at the edge on-premise so it keeps working offline and video never leaves your site. Cloud and hybrid options are available when central dashboards are needed.
Is video analytics privacy-compliant in India?
Yes, when configured correctly. Privacy-first deployments support face masking, on-device edge processing, role-based access, encrypted storage and audit logs — aligning with India's DPDPA 2023 principles of data minimisation.
Can I start with one detection and add more later?
Yes. Most teams start with a single module such as PPE, ANPR or people counting, then add others on the same cameras and dashboard as they grow — no re-deployment needed.
