Video Analytics CCTV


Ensure a prompt response to unwanted activity with advanced and proactive video analytics

Video analytics is the processing of digital video signals using algorithms to detect suspicious behaviour. When used in CCTV, it provides greater security due to the way it alerts users to potentially suspicious events more quickly and reliably than a human could.


Talk with an expert ➔

The facts speak for themselves – US research shows that staff who monitor CCTV systems can start experiencing fatigue in as little as 12 minutes. This results in them missing as much as 45% of the activity being recorded. Unsurprisingly, the fatigue and distraction level increases over time. Using video analytics software to support your CCTV provides a more reliable method of identifying potential issues, leaving your staff to provide value-added work instead.

Video analytics identify a full range of behaviours and can be taught to create alerts in response to set criteria. As well as more commonly acknowledged uses such as facial or numberplate recognition, video analytics will create alerts in response to loitering in target locations, volumes of people and unexpected objects. 

All CCTV systems supplied by Absolute Security can be connected remotely to our engineering team for fast attention in case of technical issues.

Qualified & Approved Video Analytics CCTV Providers

We are fully qualified to the latest standards to supply and commission all video analytics CCTV systems we provide. As NSI Gold approved installers, we design, install, commission and maintain video analytics CCTV systems to the highest possible industry standard.

Commercial Uses for Video Analytics

Video analytics is especially useful in organisations where large numbers of people gather, such as concert venues, retail and hospitality. Video analytics can be used to identify suspicious behaviour such as shoplifting, to quickly disperse unwanted crowds from gathering or to clamp down on unwanted activities. It is also highly effective in detecting potential terrorist activity or sabotage.

Public Sector Uses for Video Analytics

Video analytics can be used to ensure the safety of vulnerable groups of people such as in hospitals, other healthcare settings and schools, by highlighting suspicious behaviour that could be linked to theft or abduction. It is also a critical tool in preventing abuse against staff and identifying perpetrators.

Used in the wider community, video analytics can support traffic management, neighbourhood policing and be used to monitor suspicious behaviour to prevent terrorist or criminal activity.

Integrated Video Analytics CCTV

Video analytics CCTV is at its most effective when integrated with other security measures. We can integrate your video analytics CCTV with security lighting, intruder alarms and external detection systems for a cohesive set of security measures controlled by a central security system.

Commonly Asked Questions About Video Analytics CCTV



What type of video analytics can specialist CCTV provide?

Video analytics CCTV has a broad range of uses which include:

  • Thermal imaging – specialist cameras sense thermal radiation which allows them to work in any weather or lighting condition.
  • PTZ (Pan, Tilt, Zoom) – PTZ (Pan, Tilt, Zoom) smart tracking surveillance cameras follow and zoom in on people over a large area.
  • People counting – The system detects and counts people as they cross through a selected area.
  • Objects removed or objects left – The system detects the appearance and disappearance of static objects within a pre-identified area.
  • Loitering alarm – The system detects suspicious behaviour when a person or vehicle remains in a designated area.
  • Face recognition – The software helps you accelerate response times by quickly identifying people of interest.
  • Numberplate recognition – ANPR identifies vehicle licence plates

Does the CCTV still collect footage if not triggered by a potential security event?

Yes. The cameras continue collecting footage even when they don’t detect a security event. To reduce file size, they do this at a different image rate and with slightly reduced image quality.

Which brands of CCTV does Absolute Security install?

We work with the two leading video analytics CCTV manufacturers and supply brands Avigilion, Hikvision, Axis, Milestone, Bosch & Hanwha Techwin

How do I know which type of video analytics CCTV system is right for me?

The right video analytics CCTV system depends on a variety of factors including the layout of your property, its location, and the level of surveillance you want. We conduct a complimentary survey of your property which considers factors such as areas an intruder might take advantage of, privacy issues related to nearby business neighbours and residents, operational requirements such as light levels and design preferences.

With this information, we can discuss the options that would suit your situation, helping you make an educated decision about the right video analytics CCTV system.

Can I view my video analytics CCTV footage remotely?

Yes. All our video analytics CCTV systems allow footage to be reviewed remotely using an app on a mobile device.

How can I make sure I use video analytics CCTV in accordance with data protection laws?

We have a full understanding of the legislation associated with data protection laws such as GDPR and the Data Protection Act (2018). We will explain the legislation to you and support you to comply.

What happens if something goes wrong with my video analytics CCTV system

We supply a full parts and labour warranty on all new equipment supplied and installed by us. Therefore, if there is a problem with your video analytics CCTV and it is within warranty, we will fix it for you with no questions asked. Because your video analytics CCTV system will be connected to remotely to, our engineering department will instantly detect any faults for a faster resolution which may even be possible remotely.

How much does a video analytics CCTV system cost?

Due to the choice of video analytics CCTV systems available and the need for each system to be adapted to its specific situation, we can’t give you an example cost for a CCTV system. However, we will happily talk to you about the options that might suit your needs and give you a rough indication of cost. We will carry out a free survey of your property to understand your needs in full and provide full quotations with zero obligation.

To help you spread the cost of your purchase, you can pay for your video analytics CCTV system over a fixed period of instalments. Unlike some other security companies, you will own your system once you have paid for it in full.
