Material for evaluating this properly

In short

These are the documents an evaluation actually needs: how to tell whether a camera can support a rule, how to structure a pilot that produces a decision, what to ask a vendor, and how to settle the governance position before deployment rather than after. No registration is required to download them.

Camera planning guide for video analytics

How to work out whether a camera can support the rule you intend before you buy anything: pixel-on-target, angle, frame rate, lighting and stability, with a per-camera assessment sheet.

Contents

  • Why pixel-on-target decides more than any software setting
  • Calculating pixel-on-target at the furthest point of interest
  • Viewing angle guidance per analytic type
  • Frame rate and keyframe interval requirements
  • Lighting, backlight and IR assessment
  • Mounting stability and the vibration problem
  • A per-camera assessment sheet with pass, re-aim and unsuitable outcomes

Controlled pilot checklist

The inputs to gather, the ground truth to collect and the acceptance criteria to agree before a video analytics pilot starts, so the result is a decision rather than an argument.

Contents

  • Pilot inputs to collect before day one
  • How to define measurable acceptance criteria for your site
  • Ground-truth methods for detection, counting and duration metrics
  • The log-only baseline period and why it comes first
  • Metrics worth measuring, and metrics that mislead
  • A phase-by-phase plan with decision gates
  • What to do when a camera fails the readiness review

Questions procurement should ask a video analytics vendor

Twenty-eight questions that separate marketing accuracy claims from measurable site performance, with notes on what a good answer looks like.

Contents

  • Questions about accuracy claims and how they were measured
  • Questions about camera requirements and what happens when cameras fall short
  • Questions about false alerts and how the residual rate is established
  • Questions about VMS integration status and evidence
  • Questions about deployment, data residency and connectivity
  • Questions about privacy, retention and audit
  • Questions about what happens after the pilot

Privacy and governance pack for camera analytics

The governance questions a video analytics deployment raises, which obligations commonly apply, and how to document a defensible position before deployment rather than after.

Contents

  • What camera analytics processes, and what it does not
  • Where aggregate measurement differs materially from identification
  • When an impact assessment is typically required
  • Retention, access control and audit expectations
  • Employee monitoring and consultation obligations
  • Demographic estimation: the constraints and the anonymous alternative
  • ANPR as a separate decision with its own lawful basis
  • A pre-deployment governance checklist

Want these applied to your estate?

The checklists are useful on their own. Applied to your actual cameras by an engineer who has seen a few hundred of them, they are considerably more useful.
