Short, practical notes from running cameras and video analytics across more than 2,200 sites.
Count things as they cross a line, not where they pile up.
Boxes onto a truck, pallets off a dock, bags out of a warehouse, people through a door. Cameras can count all of them, but the count is only worth trusting if it is set up around one idea: count the crossing, not the pile.
AdoptionThe most important user is the one standing in the store.
Most video analytics projects are bought by head office and watched by audit teams. Both are valuable. But the change that lasts is made by store managers and department heads, when the output is theirs to use.
PlanningYour checks should change as fast as your business does.
Most video analytics projects pick a set of KPIs at the start and run them unchanged for years. The business moves on and the checks don't. They should be a living list, and not the same list everywhere.
OperationsWhat you do with an alert matters more than how accurate it is.
Most video analytics projects are judged on accuracy, response time and uptime. They matter, but they are the entry ticket. What decides whether anything improves is the workflow around each alert.
Camera infrastructureWhere you put the camera matters more than which camera you buy.
Across more than 2,200 sites, the problems that make cameras useless rarely trace back to the brand or the megapixels. They trace back to position, light, the hard disk, the cabling and the power.
