CCTV Analytics is the use of computer vision and AI to analyze video captured by surveillance cameras and identify meaningful objects, activities, or events. Instead of requiring operators to watch continuous footage, analytics systems can automatically detect situations such as people entering restricted areas, vehicles moving in the wrong direction, unusual crowding, abandoned objects, or changes in activity.
CCTV analytics is used in security, transportation, retail, manufacturing, and public-space monitoring. A retail system, for instance, can analyze customer movement and occupancy patterns, while an industrial facility can detect unsafe activity around restricted equipment. Common technologies include object detection, video tracking, facial analysis, anomaly detection, and edge-based video processing.
