Person detected
A person in a zone, at a time, that should be empty. Not a cat, not a branch, not headlights.

CCTV & AI Video
A camera that only records tells you what happened after the damage is done. Be Watch cameras recognise a person on your driveway at 2 a.m., a vehicle in the loading bay after hours, or a door left open, and they tell you and our monitoring team while there is still time to act.
What the cameras understand
Events, not just footage
Each of these is a real event the system raises, with the clip attached, sent to your phone and to the monitoring team.
Hardware
The cameras themselves
- 4K and IP cameras for entrances, yards, car parks, counters and stock areas, chosen for the distance and light at each position.
- Night vision and low-light sensors that produce usable colour footage after dark, not grey shapes.
- Number plate recognition cameras at gates and driveways, reading plates day and night.
- Boundary and fence-line monitoring with thermal or long-range cameras for yards and rural properties.
- Secure remote viewing from the Be Watch app, with per-user permissions so a manager sees their site only.
- Local recording plus cloud clips, so footage survives a stolen recorder and an internet outage.
Compare
Recording versus understanding
| Traditional CCTV | Be Watch AI video | |
|---|---|---|
| What it does at 2 a.m. | Records | Detects a person, sends the clip, alerts the operator |
| Alerts | Every movement, or none | People, vehicles, zones and behaviour only |
| Finding an incident | Scrub hours of footage | Search by event, person, vehicle or plate |
| Vehicle at the gate | Someone checks the screen | Plate read, matched, gate opened |
| Link to doors and alarm | None | Every door event and alarm zone matched to footage |
| False alarms | Frequent | Verified on video before anyone is called |
Privacy
People are tracked as people, not identified
The analytics see a person, a vehicle and a path. They do not identify who the person is. Faces are matched only where you have chosen facial recognition for access control, and only against the people you have enrolled, with their knowledge.
We help you set camera positions, retention periods and signage so the system meets the Privacy Act 2020 and, just as importantly, so your staff and customers understand and trust it.
Questions
What people ask about CCTV & AI Video
How accurate is the AI detection?
On well-placed cameras, person and vehicle detection is reliable enough that our monitoring operators act on it directly. Placement matters more than the camera model, which is why we design positions on site rather than from a plan.
Can I search footage for a specific car or person?
Yes. Events are indexed, so you can search by time, camera, event type, vehicle or plate instead of scrubbing through hours of recording.
Where is footage stored?
On a recorder at your premises, with event clips also sent to the cloud so they survive a stolen recorder. You choose the retention period, typically 30 days locally.
Will the cameras work with my existing alarm or access system?
Often. The value of Be Watch is the integration, so we will tell you whether your existing systems can be connected or whether it is better to bring them into the platform.
