VMS Software

VMS software — video management software — is the operational platform that ties together cameras, storage, operators, and video analytics. It is the control plane of modern video surveillance: where live video is viewed, recorded footage is searched, and AI modules run on top of camera streams.

Smoke and Fire Detection

AI-based smoke and fire detection uses computer vision to identify the visual signatures of flame and smoke in camera feeds — often detecting an incident minutes before traditional thermal or optical smoke detectors would alarm. It turns every camera on a site into an early-warning fire sensor.

PPE Detection

PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) detection is an AI video analytics capability that verifies whether people in a monitored area are wearing the required safety gear — hard hats, high-visibility vests, safety glasses, gloves, or footwear — and flags violations in real time or for audit reporting.

IP Camera

An IP camera is a digital video camera that captures and transmits footage over IP networks — typically Ethernet (PoE) or Wi-Fi — using standard protocols like RTSP, ONVIF, and HTTP. IP cameras replaced analog CCTV cameras and are the foundation of virtually all modern AI video analytics deployments.

Hard Hat Detection

Hard hat detection is an AI video analytics capability that identifies whether workers in a monitored area are wearing hard hats (or other required PPE) and triggers alerts or reports when someone is non-compliant. It is one of the most common entry points for AI video analytics on industrial sites.

Gun Detection

Gun detection is an AI video analytics capability that identifies visible firearms in live camera feeds and triggers instant alerts to security operators or first responders. In high-risk environments — schools, public transit, retail, government buildings — it can cut response time from minutes to seconds.

Fall Detection

Fall detection is an AI video analytics capability that automatically identifies when a person has fallen to the ground and triggers an alert — typically within seconds of the event. It combines pose estimation, temporal analysis, and scene context to distinguish actual falls from crouching, bending, or lying down intentionally.

Container Code Recognition

Container code recognition (UIC / BIC recognition) is an AI capability that automatically reads the unique identifier codes stenciled on shipping containers and rail wagons — converting painted characters into searchable text without manual inspection.

CCTV

CCTV — closed-circuit television — is the traditional term for video surveillance systems where camera feeds are transmitted to a limited set of monitors or recorders rather than publicly broadcast. Modern CCTV has evolved from analog coax-cable systems into fully networked IP deployments, and today sits at the intersection of security, operations analytics, and AI.
