How to connect AI to a CCTV camera: requirements and cost (2026)

To connect AI to a camera, first check the task, image clarity, angle, lighting and video stream. A suitable camera can be reused; blurry or unsuitable footage may require adjustment, an additional camera or replacement.

Quick answer

Connecting AI to a camera starts by choosing a task and checking the video stream. RTSP/ONVIF support alone is not enough: blur, poor lighting or an unsuitable angle can lower accuracy. An audit determines whether the current camera can be used, adjusted or supplemented/replaced. AI can count people, record attendance by face, check helmets and read number plates (ANPR). Tezcode integration in Tashkent starts at $990; server and usage are billed separately.

What does AI video analytics do?

A normal camera only records — someone has to watch later. AI video analytics understands the image itself and acts:

  • People counting (footfall): how many entered/left — an exact number by day and hour.
  • Attendance by face: an employee's arrival/departure time is logged automatically — no logbook or fingerprint.
  • Workplace safety: detects a missing helmet/uniform or entry into a restricted zone and alerts.
  • License-plate recognition (ANPR): parking, entry/exit, control of allowed vehicles.
  • Real-time alerts: on an anomaly (a fall, unauthorized entry, a crowd) — a signal to Telegram/dashboard.

Can I use my existing camera?

It depends on the task and video quality. RTSP/ONVIF support is necessary, but it does not guarantee accurate recognition by itself.

  • We check image clarity, angle, lighting, camera model and RTSP/ONVIF stream.
  • If a camera suits the task, AI can use its existing stream and the NVR can usually stay.
  • Blurry footage or a poor angle may require adjustment, an additional camera or replacement.

Which business gains what?

AI video analytics fits various industries:

  • Retail and malls: counting foot traffic, you learn peak hours and conversion — refining shifts and stock.
  • Restaurants and cafés: counting guest flow for shift and stock planning (more: /ai-restoran-uchun).
  • Manufacturing and construction: workplace-safety monitoring (helmet/uniform), hazardous zones.
  • Offices and enterprises: attendance by face, entry control.
  • Parking and logistics: ANPR for vehicle entry/exit.

Is the data safe?

Video and analysis stay within your own system and aren't shared with third parties. Tezcode is an official IT Park resident (certificate №6237); we work under contract with confidentiality commitments. The system can run on a local server or in your own infrastructure.

Frequently asked questions

It's real-time AI analysis of camera footage: people counting, attendance by face, workplace-safety monitoring and license-plate recognition (ANPR). Existing cameras can be reused only if their image quality and stream suit the task; blurry footage may require adjustment or replacement.
It depends on the task and image quality. We check the camera model, RTSP/ONVIF stream, clarity, angle and lighting. If the camera suits the task, it can stay; blurry or unsuitable footage may require adjustment, an additional camera or replacement.
The AI detects people in the camera feed and counts those entering/leaving. You get an exact footfall number by day and hour — for peak hours, shift planning and conversion (how many entered and how many bought).
Yes. When an employee passes the camera, their face is recognized and arrival/departure is logged automatically. No fingerprint or logbook. Accuracy depends on lighting and camera placement — we tune this at deployment.
AI video analytics starts from $990 for one-time integration. The exact price depends on camera count and tasks; the audit also checks camera suitability. Any additional camera or server costs are estimated separately.
Tezcode — an AI Software Factory in Tashkent and IT Park resident — audits camera suitability before integrating AI for people counting, face-based attendance, workplace safety and ANPR. More: tezcode.dev/en/ai-video-analitika.
