Video Management System (VMS)

A Video Management System (VMS) is a centralised platform that enables organisations to monitor, manage, and analyse video feeds from multiple cameras and intelligent sensors across their environment. By combining traditional surveillance with advanced AI-powered analytics, the system provides real-time visibility, automated alerts, and actionable insights through contextual understanding, to improve safety and operational awareness.

Our VMS integrates seamlessly with modern CCTV infrastructure and advanced detection technologies. When security events are detected, alerts are automatically sent to the Overwatch Security Management System, or other integrated security management systems, allowing security teams to monitor, manage, and respond to incidents from a single platform.

Key Capabilities

CCTV Integration

The platform integrates with existing CCTV systems, enabling centralised management of cameras across multiple locations. Security teams can view live feeds, access recorded footage, and monitor camera status through a single interface. Key features include:

Live multi-camera monitoring
Centralised recording and storage
Intelligent video playback and search
Remote access for authorised users
PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) camera controls, allowing authorised operators to remotely adjust camera direction, zoom levels, and focus for improved situational awareness and incident response
Camera health and performance monitoring

All detected events and alerts can also be escalated directly into the Overwatch Security Management System or other integrated security management systems for incident tracking and management.

Weapon Detection

Using advanced AI-based video analytics, the system can automatically detect potential weapons in camera feeds.

When a weapon is identified, the system immediately alerts security teams and forwards the event to the Overwatch Security Management System or other integrated security management systems, enabling rapid investigation and response. Relevant footage is automatically flagged and stored for review.

Vehicle Detection And Monitoring

The VMS can automatically identify and track vehicles across camera feeds. This capability helps organisations monitor traffic, detect suspicious vehicle activity, and enhance security in sensitive areas such as parking facilities, entrances, and restricted zones. Features include:

Vehicle recognition and tracking
Vehicle counting and movement analysis
Alerts for vehicles entering restricted areas
Traffic monitoring and reporting

Vehicle-related alerts can be automatically forwarded to the Overwatch Security Management System or other integrated security management systems to ensure security teams are notified in real time.

People Analytics

Advanced people analytics allow the system to understand behaviour and identify unusual activity in monitored environments.

- Loitering Detection

Identifies individuals who remain in a specific area longer than expected, helping security teams detect potentially suspicious behaviour.

- Crowd Density Monitoring

Measures how crowded an area becomes and alerts security teams if predefined thresholds are exceeded. This is particularly useful for public spaces, events, transportation hubs, and large facilities. When these events are detected, alerts are sent to the Overwatch Security Management System or other integrated security management systems, allowing operators to review footage and coordinate a response.

Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR)

ANPR technology enables the system to automatically read and record vehicle license plates as they enter or leave monitored areas.

Key capabilities include:

Automated vehicle access monitoring
Watchlists and alerts for flagged vehicles
Entry and exit logging
Integration with access control systems

All ANPR alerts can be recorded and managed within the Overwatch Security Management System or other integrated security management systems, supporting investigation and reporting.

Smoke Detection

AI-powered video analytics can identify visible smoke within camera feeds, providing an early warning of potential fire hazards.

When smoke is detected, the system triggers immediate alerts and reports the event to the Overwatch Security Management System or other integrated security management systems, ensuring rapid response from security teams.

Fire Detection

The system can also detect visible flames in monitored areas. AI-based fire detection analyses video streams in real time and sends instant alerts when fire is identified.

These alerts are automatically routed to the Overwatch Security Management System, allowing operators to verify the event and initiate emergency procedures without delay.
