AI CCTV & Video Analytics from Tecqx
Traditional CCTV records everything and tells you nothing until someone sits down to watch hours of footage. AI CCTV works the other way round: the cameras and recorder understand what they see, ignore rain, shadows and animals, and alert you the moment a real person or vehicle enters a zone they shouldn’t. Tecqx designs, installs and supports AI video analytics for offices, warehouses, retail, construction sites and residential buildings across Dubai.
We can add AI to a new system or, in many cases, to your existing cameras by upgrading the recorder or adding a video analytics server. Either way, you get fewer false alarms, faster searches and data you can actually use, from footfall in a store to vehicles at a loading bay.
What AI video analytics can do for you
- Smart intrusion and line-crossing alertsreal alerts for people and vehicles only, with far fewer false alarms from trees, lights and cats.
- People counting and footfallentries, exits and occupancy per hour for retail, malls, offices and showrooms.
- Heatmaps and dwell timesee which areas, aisles and displays customers actually visit and how long they stay.
- Vehicle and number plate recognition (ANPR)log vehicles at gates and car parks, and link to gate barriers for automatic entry.
- Safety and PPE detectiondetect missing helmets or vests, restricted-zone entry and falls on sites and in warehouses.
- Loitering, crowding and queue alertsspot suspicious behaviour, crowds and long queues before they become a problem.
- Smart searchfind footage by person, vehicle, colour or direction in seconds instead of hours.
- Alerts to your phoneinstant notifications with a snapshot or clip, sent to the right person or security team.
Upgrade your existing CCTV with AI
You don’t always need to replace every camera. Depending on your current equipment, we can:
- Replace the recorder with an AI-capable NVR that analyses video from compatible existing cameras.
- Swap only the key cameras (entrances, perimeters, car parks) for AI cameras and keep the rest.
- Add a video management system (VMS) or analytics server for larger or multi-site installations.
We start with a survey of your current system and give you options at different budget levels, including what can be reused.
Where AI CCTV makes the biggest difference
- Warehouses and logistics: perimeter intrusion after hours, loading-bay vehicle logs, PPE and forklift zone safety.
- Retail and showrooms: footfall, conversion, heatmaps and queue alerts alongside security.
- Offices and buildings: after-hours alerts, visitor and vehicle logs, crowding in lobbies.
- Construction and industrial sites: perimeter protection, PPE compliance and restricted areas.
- Residential communities and villas: gate and perimeter alerts, number plate recognition for residents.
Privacy, SIRA and responsible use
AI analytics must be used lawfully and proportionately. Many premises in Dubai must also follow Security Industry Regulatory Agency (SIRA) requirements for CCTV, and personal data is protected under the UAE Personal Data Protection Law. We design systems around your actual security and business needs, recommend clear signage, restrict who can access footage and analytics, and set sensible retention periods. Features such as face recognition are only configured where they are appropriate and permitted for your type of premises.

Frequently asked questions
What is AI CCTV?
AI CCTV uses cameras or recorders with built-in analytics that recognise people, vehicles and specific events. Instead of simply recording, the system can send real-time alerts, count people and help you search footage quickly.
Can AI be added to my existing CCTV system?
Often, yes. Depending on your cameras, we can add an AI-capable recorder or analytics server, or replace only the most important cameras. We’ll check your system and tell you what’s possible before you spend anything.
Will AI CCTV reduce false alarms?
Yes. Because the analytics distinguish people and vehicles from things like moving trees, shadows, rain and animals, you get far fewer false alerts than with basic motion detection.
Can I get alerts on my phone?
Yes. Alerts with a snapshot or short clip can be sent to your phone through the manufacturer’s app, and escalated to your security team or a monitoring provider.
Is face recognition allowed?
It depends on your type of premises, your purpose and applicable UAE regulations. We’ll advise on what is appropriate for your site and configure only the features you can use lawfully.
