Device Monitoring

Cameras & video analytics events

Use IP cameras as a source of data: number plates, people counts, line crossing and camera health, received as events over ONVIF or the vendor's API.

Conceptual architecture · illustrative, no real data

What we build

Cameras record everything, but someone has to watch the footage to know what happened. The analytics many cameras already run, such as plate recognition or people counting, often goes unused.

  • Events from cameras and recorders over ONVIF or the vendor's API
  • Number-plate recognition at gates, checked against your list of vehicles
  • People counting and line crossing by zone and hour
  • Alerts when a camera goes offline or is covered, with a snapshot attached

How it works

A typical data flow, from your equipment to the place the data is used.

Getting started

What we need from you

  • Camera and recorder models and firmware versions
  • Which analytics they run, or which events matter to you
  • Network access to the cameras, or to the video management system

What you receive

  • Camera events in one searchable history
  • Rules that turn events into alerts and records
  • Reports by gate, zone or period

Questions

No. Video stays in your recorder or video management system. We work with the events and snapshots the cameras already produce.

Most IP cameras and recorders that support ONVIF or offer an API, including Hikvision, Dahua, UNV and Axis. We confirm your models and firmware during the assessment.

Yes. Recognised plates are checked against your list and recorded next to turnstile and card events. Opening a barrier automatically is added only if you ask for it.

Yes. A lost connection, a covered lens or a full disk can raise an alert, so a blind spot is noticed the same day.
