What is AI Security Camera Software?

What AI security camera software is

AI security camera software is software that looks at video from a school's cameras and points staff to moments that may need attention. A camera on its own records. The software adds a layer that notices certain moments and lets the right people know.

Staff can't watch every camera at once. The software helps them see the moments that may matter.

What it looks for

VOLT is built to notice moments: a fall, a possible fight, someone where they shouldn't be.

VOLT detects possible handguns, long guns, and knives visible to the camera.

VOLT keeps visually tracking a person by appearance after they've been identified with a visible weapon, even once the weapon is hidden.

For AI detections the title says "possible", for example "Possible fight", "Possible person after hours" or "Possible fall".

How a moment is reviewed

A VOLT reviewer checks a moment by default before staff are notified.

What staff receive

The alert names what was seen and where; the email and the VOLT app show the camera view. Each school's notification plan sets who hears about what.

VOLT surfaces a moment; your people decide what happens next.

Working with your cameras

AI security camera software is software, so it can work with the cameras a school has today rather than new hardware. Existing IP cameras can connect over RTSP.

For a guide to choosing one, see AI security cameras for schools.

Privacy

VOLT does not use facial recognition. VOLT does not put a name on anyone.

Before choosing any product, write down who can see video and notifications, how long they are kept, and how families can ask questions.

• Which moments does it look for, and how are the titles worded?
• Who checks a moment before your staff hear about it?
• Who on your staff gets each notification, and who decides that?
• Does it work with the cameras you have today?
• Does it use facial recognition?
• How is it priced?
