Surveillance That Thinks
Not Just Records
Video surveillance drives operational intelligence for smarter decisions. It can verify events, guide responses, and deliver essential intelligence. Hirsch solutions unify verification, analytics, and workflows, connecting video with access control and detection systems for faster verification and stronger investigations.
THE CHALLENGE
The Video Problem
Video often becomes a high-cost system that’s underused operationally. The outcome: video that records a lot yet delivers too little value in the moment.
The Hirsch Difference
Video Solutions
Video is only valuable when it drives action. Verify events instantly, unify response, and preserve evidence with confidence.
Faster verification with event-driven camera call-up and guided workflows.
Better situational awareness by unifying video with access and alarms.
Stronger investigations through audit-ready evidence management.
Outcomes You Can Expect
Faster verification & fewer unnecessary escalations
Turn events into immediate visual confirmation, reducing false dispatch and accelerating response.
Clearer situational awareness across sites
Give teams an intelligible view of what’s happening across buildings, perimeters, and critical zones without jumping between systems.
More effective investigations and audit readiness
Find footage quickly, preserve evidence properly, and maintain clear audit trails for compliance and reporting.
Smarter detection with intelligent analytics
Move beyond "record everything" to intelligent detection that helps operators focus on real threats.
More reliable, maintainable video operations
Improve uptime and performance with better visibility into camera health, coverage, and system status.
Choosing the Right
Video Approach
Camera count and resolution matter less than how video delivers operational intelligence.
Approach
Best For
Key Advantage
Limitation
Standalone VMS/basic CCTV
Simple sites, basic recording needs, low operational risk
Lower initial cost, familiar playback workflows
Reactive investigations only, slow manual verification, siloed from alarms and access events, analytics create more noise than value

Platform Capabilities
Video Capabilities
Hirsch video solutions are designed to scale from a single facility to global, multi-site environments supporting both high-assurance security and day-to-day usability.
1
Real-time verification workflows
Make video the fastest way to confirm what’s happening:
Motion/presence detection for offices, corridors, restricted rooms, and critical spaces
Risk-based zoning to separate public, semi-restricted, and high-security zones
Door/window and opening detection for controlled areas
2
Unified monitoring across systems
Reduce screen fatigue and system switching:
Detection options suited to high-risk zones (e.g., plant rooms, vaults, comms rooms, secure storage)
Tamper monitoring and resilience features aligned to secure operations
3
Intelligent analytics that reduce operator noise
Video analytics only work when tuned to your environment:
Anti-passback and occupancy-style controls (where required)
Interlock/mantrap-style logic and airlock control for restricted zones
Duress workflows and enhanced control for higher assurance environments
Blacklists and watchlist-style controls for rapid risk response
4
Evidence management and audit readiness
Support investigations, compliance, and operational assurance:
Tools for testing, simulation, and diagnostics to improve installation quality and maintenance outcomes
Central visibility across multiple control units and devices for faster troubleshooting
5
Operational resilience and system confidence
Improve reliability and reduce blind spots:
Denied access triggers video verification and escalation
Door events automatically call up relevant cameras
Intrusion or perimeter alerts can trigger lockdown responses
Unified incident reporting across all systems
Unified Supervision and Integration
Centralised supervision
Video becomes significantly more valuable when it’s supervised alongside perimeter, intrusion, access, and intercoms – enabling consistent operator actions and faster verification.
One operating picture
Bring video into the same workflows as alarms and access so teams verify faster, respond consistently, and reduce operational friction.
Where Access Control Delivers Value
Industries & Use Cases
Corporate & multi-tenant buildings
Smooth entry, partitions by tenant/role, better governance
Utilities & energy
Restricted rooms, remote sites, consistent audit trails
Logistics & supply chain
High staff turnover, temporary access, zoned movement
Data centers & critical sites
High assurance, controlled movement, compliance reporting
Healthcare & education
Sensitive areas, staff escalation workflows, operational continuity
Government & high-security campuses
Stronger identity assurance, unified response, investigative clarity
