Traditional CCTV strengths
- Broad visual coverage
- Familiar security workflow
- Low change management barrier
Traditional CCTV limitations
- Manual review overhead
- Delayed operational response
- Limited Operations Score instrumentation
Warehouse AI advantages
- Event-driven alerts
- Explainable timeline evidence
- Continuous performance analytics
Decision guideline
Use CCTV for passive monitoring. Use warehouse AI when operations need structured events and measurable process improvement.
The same shift applies outside operations: Detect Suspicious Behaviour with AI Vision shows what a security review queue looks like once footage becomes events, and AI Fire & Smoke Detection for Warehouses does the same for early Possible Smoke indications.
