Traditional CCTV and AI video analytics both use cameras, but they serve very different purposes.
| Traditional CCTV | AI Video Analytics |
|---|---|
| Captures footage | Analyses footage |
| Relies heavily on human monitoring | Automates predefined detections |
| Mostly reactive investigation | Can generate proactive alerts |
| Manual footage review | Structured event records |
| Security-focused | Security + Safety + Operations + Quality |
| Limited analytics | Operational analytics possible |
