What is AI video analytics?

AI video analytics is software that reviews camera video automatically and sends an alert when it sees a specific event, such as a group loitering too long, a certain vehicle passing at the wrong time or an overfull dumpster. Instead of someone watching screens, the system flags what matters and shows you the clip.

Turner Security adds AI video analytics to most existing business camera systems using the Eagle Eye cloud video platform, for customers in Middle Tennessee, the Chattanooga area and multi-site companies across the country.

Real alert rules

Examples of alerts businesses set up

AI analytics is only useful when the rules match a real problem at your site. These are the kinds of rules we set up on the Eagle Eye platform.

Loitering past a time limit

Alert when a group stays near an entrance, gate or storefront longer than a time you set, instead of every time someone walks by.

A vehicle at the wrong time

Alert when a specific vehicle passes a camera in a set time window and direction, such as a truck leaving the back gate after closing.

License plates

Read plates at gates and entrances, search video by plate number and flag specific vehicles.

Overfull dumpsters

Get a heads-up when a trash area is overflowing so it can be handled before it becomes a mess or a violation.

Counts that don't match

Flag conveyor or line counts that don't match what was expected, which can point to a problem on the floor.

Alerts for live monitoring

Send rule-based events to monitoring agents so they focus on real activity rather than every motion trigger.

Why Turner

Local setup with support that stays with you

Turner Security has served businesses since 1976 from offices in Smyrna and Chattanooga, and works with multi-site customers across the US and Canada. We plan the rules with you, connect the cameras, tune the alerts and stay on as your support team.

What it can watch for

Alerts built around how your business runs

You decide what counts as a problem. These are the kinds of rules customers set up.

Loitering alerts

Get an alert when a group gathers in an area for longer than the time you set, like a storefront, stairwell or parking lot after hours.

Vehicle rules

Flag a specific vehicle passing through during a set time window or traveling in a certain direction, such as a truck leaving a yard at night.

License plate recognition

Read and log plates at gates and drive lanes, and search past video by plate instead of scrubbing through hours of footage.

Dumpster and trash monitoring

Know when dumpsters or trash areas are overfull so service can be scheduled before it becomes a problem.

Operational counts

Count items on a conveyor or through a door and get an alert when the counts do not match what should be there.

Smarter live monitoring

Analytics filter out wind, shadows and animals so monitoring agents mostly see real people and vehicles.

Why it matters

Nobody has time to watch cameras all day

Most businesses only look at camera video after something goes wrong. AI video analytics changes that by watching every camera for the events you define and alerting you while there is still time to act.

Because it runs on the cameras you already have in most cases, you get more out of your existing investment instead of starting over. The same alerts can also feed our live video monitoring agents.

How it works

How we add AI analytics to your cameras

Most projects start with what you already have.

Camera review

We check your existing cameras, recorder and network to confirm what can connect.

Define your rules

We work with you on what to watch for, where and when, and who gets each alert.

Connect and configure

We connect your cameras to the Eagle Eye platform and set up your alerts.

Tune and support

We adjust rules after the first weeks so alerts stay useful, and keep supporting the system.

Who it is for

Businesses that get the most from AI analytics

Multi-site companies

See activity across many locations without adding staff to watch video.

Dealerships and equipment yards

Watch lots and gates after hours and log every vehicle that comes and goes.

Warehouses and manufacturers

Combine security alerts with operational checks like counts and dock activity.

Property managers and multifamily

Catch loitering, dumping and trespassing in common areas and lots.

Retail and restaurants

Flag after-hours activity at doors, dumpsters and drive lanes.

Job sites

Pair analytics with mobile camera trailers on construction sites and lots.

Your existing cameras

Adding AI analytics to the cameras you already have

AI video analytics on the Eagle Eye platform can be added to most existing business camera systems, so many sites start without replacing cameras. What matters is whether each camera gives the software a clear, steady picture of the area the rule covers.

During the camera review we check each view for distance, angle, lighting at night and anything that blocks the scene, like trees, signs or parked trailers. Cameras that can't support a rule are flagged, and we recommend moving, adjusting or adding only those.

  • Clear view of the area each rule covers
  • Enough light, or infrared, for night rules
  • A steady mount that doesn't shake in wind
  • A network connection that can carry the video
  • Plate cameras aimed for plates, not wide views
Setup and tuning

Why the first few weeks matter

Every site has its own normal. A rule that works well at a quiet office can fire constantly at a busy distribution yard. After the rules are turned on, we watch how often they trigger and adjust zones, time windows and thresholds so alerts stay useful.

The goal is a short list of alerts your team actually reads. If alerts get ignored, they aren't helping, so we would rather start with three good rules than twenty noisy ones.

  • Start with the two or three events that cost you the most
  • Set time windows that match your hours
  • Send alerts to the one or two people who can act
  • Review alert volume after the first weeks and adjust
Common questions

Questions we hear a lot

Can AI video analytics work with my existing cameras?

In most cases, yes. AI analytics through the Eagle Eye platform can be added to most existing camera systems. We review your cameras and network first and tell you if any need to be replaced.

What kinds of alerts can AI video analytics send?

Common examples include groups loitering longer than a set time, a specific vehicle passing during a time window or in a certain direction, overfull dumpsters, and counts on a conveyor that do not match. Rules are set around your site.

Does it include license plate recognition?

Yes. License plate recognition is supported where cameras are placed and aimed to read plates, such as gates and drive lanes. Plates are logged so you can search video by plate.

How much does AI video analytics cost?

Pricing depends on the number of cameras and the features you need. We review your system and give you a clear written quote.

How is AI analytics different from motion detection?

Basic motion detection alerts on anything that moves, including trees, rain and headlights. AI analytics recognizes people and vehicles and applies your rules, so you get far fewer false alerts.

Can AI analytics be used with live video monitoring?

Yes. Analytics alerts can be sent to live monitoring agents, who check the video and use talk-down to stop trespassers in real time.

What is AI video surveillance?

AI video surveillance uses software to review camera video and send an alert when it sees a specific event, like loitering past a time limit or a vehicle in a restricted area at night. It turns recorded video into alerts someone can act on.

Do I need a separate video analytics company?

No. Turner Security sets up AI video analytics on the Eagle Eye platform and also installs and services the cameras, so one company plans the rules, connects the cameras, tunes the alerts and supports the system.

Do you offer AI video analytics in Nashville and Chattanooga?

Yes. Turner Security sets up AI video analytics for businesses across Nashville and Middle Tennessee from our Smyrna office and across the Chattanooga area from our Chattanooga office, plus multi-site customers in other states.

Clifton and Erica came to my property today to reconfigure our camera views. I emailed them late last night and Clifton was here first thing this morning. This company is outstanding and does exactly what they say they are going to do. Thank you Turner Security for always being responsive and professional.
