Usually not. We start from the cameras you already have. During the survey we check angles, lighting and resolution, and tell you in writing if any camera needs to change.
Test AI video analytics on your own cameras before you commit
A fixed-scope paid pilot, usually 2 to 4 weeks. We install on your site, run on your existing cameras, and judge the result against success criteria you approve first.
- Fixed fee, agreed before any work starts
- Runs on-site: your video stays with you, and it keeps working if the internet drops
- A written results report, with no obligation to continue
Request a pilot
Tell us about the site. We reply within 2 business days with a scope and a short plan.
How the pilot runs
Four stages, each with a clear output. Timings depend on the site.
Survey
We review your cameras, angles, lighting and network, and agree the use case and success criteria in writing.
Install
We set up the on-site AI device alongside your existing cameras and configure alerts for your team.
Run
The system runs on live feeds. We tune it to your site and log every alert, miss and false alarm.
Review
You get a results report against the agreed criteria, and a clear recommendation on whether to go further.
What we agree before it starts
Success criteria are written down and approved by you first. These are examples of the measures we set. The real numbers are agreed with you after the site survey.
| Measure | What it tells you | Set together |
|---|---|---|
| Detection rate | Share of real events the system catches on your footage | Target agreed per use case |
| False alarms per day | How many alerts your team must dismiss | Limit your team can live with |
| Alert delay | Time from event to alert on your screen or phone | Maximum agreed in advance |
| Uptime during the pilot | How reliably it runs, including during network loss | Minimum agreed in advance |
Is a pilot right for you?
A good fit if
- You already have CCTV cameras you want to make more useful
- You have one specific problem, such as crowd density, PPE or weapons detection
- You need video to stay on your site
- You want proof on your own footage before a long contract
Probably not a fit if
- You want a general demo with sample footage only
- You have no cameras and no plan to install any
- You need every possible detection at once from day one
