From Watching to Knowing: The Shift from Passive Cameras to Predictive Video Surveillance Systems

Rishi Lodhia, Managing Director at Eagle Eye Networks, talks about how video surveillance is evolving from passive monitoring to predictive analytics.

The role of video in security is changing, writes Rishi Lodhia, Managing Director, Eagle Eye Networks.

For decades, video surveillance systems have acted as digital witnesses: Recording events, helping with investigations and offering visual confirmation after the fact.

Useful, yes, but limited. Today, that’s no longer enough. With AI and cloud technology, video surveillance is moving from passive to predictive.

It doesn’t just record what’s happening, it detects actions and potential problems: AI-powered video surveillance helps security teams act faster, with better context and greater precision.

This shift is not just about technology. It reflects a change in how organisations think about security.
