IP Camera

An IP camera is a digital video camera that captures and transmits footage over IP networks — typically Ethernet (PoE) or Wi-Fi — using standard protocols like RTSP, ONVIF, and HTTP. IP cameras replaced analog CCTV cameras and are the foundation of virtually all modern AI video analytics deployments.

Hard Hat Detection

Hard hat detection is an AI video analytics capability that identifies whether workers in a monitored area are wearing hard hats (or other required PPE) and triggers alerts or reports when someone is non-compliant. It is one of the most common entry points for AI video analytics on industrial sites.

Gun Detection

Gun detection is an AI video analytics capability that identifies visible firearms in live camera feeds and triggers instant alerts to security operators or first responders. In high-risk environments — schools, public transit, retail, government buildings — it can cut response time from minutes to seconds.

Fall Detection

Fall detection is an AI video analytics capability that automatically identifies when a person has fallen to the ground and triggers an alert — typically within seconds of the event. It combines pose estimation, temporal analysis, and scene context to distinguish actual falls from crouching, bending, or lying down intentionally.

Container Code Recognition

Container code recognition (UIC / BIC recognition) is an AI capability that automatically reads the unique identifier codes stenciled on shipping containers and rail wagons — converting painted characters into searchable text without manual inspection.

CCTV

CCTV — closed-circuit television — is the traditional term for video surveillance systems where camera feeds are transmitted to a limited set of monitors or recorders rather than publicly broadcast. Modern CCTV has evolved from analog coax-cable systems into fully networked IP deployments, and today sits at the intersection of security, operations analytics, and AI.

Age and Gender Detection

Age and gender detection is a computer vision capability that estimates the age range and gender of people in a video frame — without identifying them by name. It provides demographic analytics for retail, transit, advertising, and city planning while remaining privacy-friendlier than face recognition.

Pose Estimation
Glossary
Apr 23, 2026

Pose Estimation

Pose estimation is the computer vision task of detecting the positions of key human body joints — head, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, ankles — in an image or video frame, producing a skeletal representation of each person in the scene.

Motion Detection
Glossary
Apr 23, 2026

Motion Detection

Motion detection is the process of identifying changes between consecutive video frames that indicate something is moving in the scene. It is the oldest form of video analytics, dating back to early CCTV, and remains a foundational trigger for more sophisticated AI-based analytics.
