The Cohesive Approach

Security that thinks, and data that drives decisions

Traditional CCTV records everything and understands nothing — leaving operators to watch endless footage and react after the fact. Video Content Analysis (VCA) changes that. An advanced AI engine classifies people, vehicles and objects, applies your rules, and turns raw video into real-time alerts and measurable business intelligence.

As an authorized distributor of VCA Technology, Cohesive helps you deploy analytics the way that suits you: on VCA AI cameras at the edge, as software layered onto your existing cameras, or on centralised AI servers for large sites. Accurate, deep-learning detection cuts false alarms dramatically, so your team focuses only on what matters.

The same cameras that keep a site secure can also count footfall, measure queues, read number plates and speed up investigations — one investment delivering both safety and operational insight, and integrating cleanly with your existing VMS and surveillance.

What VCA Delivers

Powerful analytics from one AI engine

Mix and match the modules you need — all running on the same accurate, deep-learning platform.

AI facial recognition identifying a person at an entrance

Facial Recognition

Identify people in real time against watchlists and VIP or staff databases, trigger instant alerts, and speed up access at entrances. Liveness detection guards against spoofing with photos or video, for reliable, secure identification.

  • Watchlist Alerts
  • VIP / Staff Recognition
  • Liveness Detection
  • Access Integration

Number plate recognition reading a vehicle plate at a gate

Number Plate Recognition (ANPR)

Automatically read and log vehicle number plates at gates, car parks and highways. Automate boom barriers for authorised vehicles, flag blacklisted plates, manage parking and support traffic monitoring and enforcement.

  • Gate & Parking Automation
  • Blacklist / Whitelist
  • Traffic Monitoring
  • Entry / Exit Logs

People counting and queue analytics heatmap in a retail store

People Counting & Queue Management

Understand how people move through your space. Count footfall, measure storefront conversion, monitor occupancy and detect long queues in real time — so you can staff smarter, improve service and grow sales with hard data.

  • Footfall & Conversion
  • Queue Detection
  • Occupancy Limits
  • RetailTrend Dashboards

Intrusion detection tripwire and zone monitoring on a perimeter camera

Intrusion Detection & Loss Prevention

Protect perimeters and assets with intelligent tripwire, intrusion, loitering and object-left/removed detection. Accurate object classification means real alerts on people and vehicles — not on shadows, rain or animals — reducing false alarms and losses.

  • Tripwire & Zones
  • Loitering Detection
  • Object Left / Removed
  • Fewer False Alarms
Explore loss prevention
Forensic search filtering recorded video by object and attributes

Forensic Search

Find the moment that matters in seconds. Search recorded footage by object type, colour, direction, size and time instead of scrubbing through hours of video — turning post-incident investigation from hours into minutes.

  • Search by Attributes
  • Object & Colour Filters
  • Rapid Investigation
  • Evidence Export

FAQ

Video analytics questions

Video Content Analysis (VCA) uses AI to automatically understand what a camera sees. A deep-learning engine classifies people, vehicles and objects and applies your rules to generate real-time alerts and data — so instead of just recording footage, your cameras actively detect events and produce useful insight.

Yes. VCA can be added to cameras you already own using VCA software or AI servers, or deployed on new VCA AI cameras that process analytics at the edge. This lets you upgrade existing surveillance to intelligent analytics without replacing your whole system.

Core modules include facial recognition, number-plate recognition (ANPR), people and footfall counting, queue management, occupancy monitoring, intrusion and tripwire detection, loitering and object-left/removed detection, loss prevention, PPE/safety monitoring and forensic search — all from one AI engine.

All three. You can run analytics at the edge on VCA AI cameras, centrally on VCA AI servers for large multi-camera sites, or as software layered onto existing cameras. We help you choose the approach that best fits your scale, budget and infrastructure.

Retail, banking, transport and traffic, aviation, smart cities, data centres, logistics, convenience stores, EV charging, solar farms, manufacturing and critical infrastructure all use VCA — for security, safety compliance, traffic and access automation, and business insight from footfall and behaviour.

Yes. VCA is built on open standards and works alongside leading VMS and NVR platforms and your wider surveillance stack, so analytics, alerts and metadata fit into the systems and workflows your team already uses.
