AI Developments
in Surveillance

When AI-powered video analytics first emerged in the security world, expectations were sky-high — and not always met. But the technology has come a long way since those early disappointments, and DeepAlert has been at the forefront of turning AI’s potential into practical, real-world impact.

SMART Security Solutions spoke to Dr Jasper Horrell, founder of DeepAlert, alongside peers in the industry, to explore what AI genuinely delivers in the field today — not the marketing version, but the lived reality.

According to Dr Horrell, customer acceptance of AI has grown significantly. Whereas DeepAlert previously managed risk through broad exclusion zones, the team has evolved toward alerting on specific zones of interest — a much more precise and operationally useful approach. Improved neural network architecture and larger training datasets have raised detection accuracy, while the integration of large language models (LLMs) is opening doors to far more sophisticated alert configurations.

Looking ahead, DeepAlert is actively developing automated virtual guard tours, bespoke alert logic, and detection models for fire, PPE compliance, loitering, and directional movement. The vision is a system that doesn’t just react — it anticipates.
