AI CAMERA MONITORING / FOR BUSINESS

SEE THE
UNEXPECTED.
ACT WITH AI.

FEWER FALSE ALARMS.

Specialised algorithms. A weighted point system. Greater confidence before you’re alerted.

Each suspicious action has a dedicated point value. A single action never triggers an alarm: only a combination of suspicious actions with a total of at least 100 points does.

Security expertise. AI attention. Lens & Guard analyses movement and gestures to flag possible shoplifting and security incidents—helping your people focus on responding instead of watching screens.

TWO ENVIRONMENTS. ONE SERVICE.

Attention where
it counts.

AI monitoring helps surface incidents across your cameras, reducing the need to watch every feed manually.

01 / RETAIL SECURITY

See the behaviour.
Review the incident.

Read the sequence, not just a single movement. Lens & Guard analyses gestures around shelves, repeated looking around and movements toward pockets or bags to flag behaviour that may indicate shoplifting. Each suspicious action carries a dedicated point value. The system combines these signals and alerts your security team only when multiple suspicious actions together reach 100 points.

  • Gestures and activity around merchandise
  • Possible concealment in pockets or bags
  • Person tracking during an incident
  • Alerts for staff to assess and respond

Looking around alone does not establish intent. Alerts identify activity to review, not proof of theft.

02 / PREMISES & PERIMETERS

Movement outside.
Attention inside.

Watch for unusual movement around entrances, restricted areas and vegetation. Track activity within the camera’s visible field, score suspicious actions and alert the business owner or designated team only when a combination reaches 100 points.

  • Movement near bushes and boundaries
  • Activity in designated monitoring areas
  • Incident alerts to the responsible people

Visibility, lighting and camera position affect detection.

FROM CAMERA TO ACTION

Detect. Track.
Alert. Respond.

AI handles the watching. Your team stays in control of the response.

01

Assess your setup

Review camera coverage, connection requirements and the areas your business needs to monitor.

02

Configure monitoring

Define relevant events, monitored zones and who should receive incident alerts.

03

Score & alert

Assign dedicated points to suspicious actions. Trigger an alert only when a combination of actions totals 100 points or more.

04

Review & respond

Your owner, staff or security team checks the context and decides what action to take.

A DIFFERENT WAY TO STAFF SECURITY

LET AI
WATCH.
LET PEOPLE
ACT.

Less time behind screens

Reduce the number of people dedicated to manually watching camera feeds. AI surfaces potential incidents so staff can focus on assessment and response.

A more focused way to monitor

Instead of relying on someone to spot a brief gesture during hours of footage, use AI to flag relevant activity and direct your team’s attention to the incident.

Fit your business

Plan monitoring around your premises, existing cameras and security workflow.

Staffing needs and detection performance depend on the site. AI monitoring supports security teams and does not guarantee that every incident will be detected.

SECURITY EXPERIENCE, BUILT INTO AI

Designed by people
who know what
to look for.

Built by people with years of security experience, Lens & Guard brings practical knowledge of suspicious behaviour into camera monitoring.

From movements around a shelf to possible concealment, the service is designed around the situations security teams encounter in real businesses.

AI highlights potential incidents. Your team reviews the evidence and makes the decision.

BEFORE YOUR DEMO

A few useful answers.

Can I use my existing cameras?

We review your current camera setup during the demo. Compatibility, video quality and coverage need to be assessed before deployment.

How does the point system reduce false alarms?

Our specialised algorithms assign a dedicated point value to each suspicious action and assess the combination of actions. No single action is enough to trigger an alarm. Below 100 points, no alarm is triggered; only a combination with a total of at least 100 points triggers an alert. This provides greater confidence in suspicious activity before notifying your team and is designed to reduce false alarms.

Does the AI know for certain that someone is stealing?

It analyses visible movements and gestures that may indicate shoplifting, including possible concealment. Looking around or reaching into a pocket is not, by itself, proof of theft. Your team reviews the sequence and context before taking action.

Can it replace all security staff?

The goal is to reduce manual camera watching and help teams focus on response. The appropriate staffing level depends on your business, risks and response requirements.

How are alerts and camera access arranged?

Recipients, alert delivery, camera access and footage handling are agreed during setup. We’ll discuss these requirements for your premises.

How much does the service cost?

Request a demo to discuss your camera count, locations and monitoring needs. A tailored proposal follows the assessment.
