AI Video Analytics for Smarter Physical Security
Your security cameras generate thousands of hours of footage. Without intelligence behind them, that footage is reactive at best. DataStew integrates AI-powered video analytics into your physical security ecosystem, turning passive surveillance into proactive, real time threat detection and actionable business intelligence. As a certified Genetec partner and Axis Communications integrator, we deploy enterprise-grade AI video analytics for organizations across Dallas, DFW, and the United States.

What Is AI Video Analytics?
From Passive Recording to Active Intelligence
Traditional video surveillance records what happens. AI video analytics understands what is happening in real time, across hundreds of camera feeds simultaneously. Using deep learning models trained on millions of security scenarios, AI video analytics can:
- Detect unauthorized perimeter intrusions before access is gained
- Identify behavioral anomalies such as loitering, tailgating, or abandoned objects
- Search hours of footage in seconds using natural language queries
- Automatically verify alarms, reducing false alert fatigue
- Track people and vehicles across multiple camera views
- Generate heat maps and occupancy data for operational intelligence
The result is a security operation that shifts from reacting to incidents to preventing them.
DataStew's AI Video Analytics Capabilities
Genetec Security Center with AI Analytics As a certified Genetec partner, DataStew designs and deploys Genetec Security Center, the industry's leading unified physical security platform. Genetec's AI capabilities include advanced video analytics, behavioral detection, and integration with BriefCam for forensic video search and intelligence. We handle the full implementation: system design, installation, configuration, and ongoing support.
Axis Communications AI Cameras DataStew is an authorized Axis Communications integrator. Axis's latest camera lineup features built-in deep learning processors that perform AI analytics directly at the edge, no server required. From perimeter detection to people counting to license plate recognition, Axis edge AI delivers real-time intelligence with minimal bandwidth requirements.
Perimeter Security & Intrusion Detection AI-powered perimeter analytics detect human movement in restricted zones and trigger alerts before access is gained. We design layered perimeter solutions for campuses, ports, data centers, warehouses, and critical infrastructure, tuned to minimize false alerts while maximizing detection accuracy.
Forensic Video Search Traditional video investigation means hours of manual review. With AI forensic search, operators describe what they're looking for in plain language: "person in red jacket near loading dock after 6 PM", and the system surfaces relevant footage in seconds. We deploy and configure these capabilities as part of your Genetec or standalone VMS environment.
Behavioral Analytics AI models trained on security scenarios can identify behaviors that indicate elevated risk; loitering near sensitive areas, tailgating through access-controlled doors, crowd formation, and more. DataStew configures behavioral analytics rules specific to your facility layout and operational requirements.
License Plate Recognition (LPR) or Automated LPR (ALPR) systems capture and log every vehicle entering and exiting your facility, cross-referencing against watchlists in real time. We integrate LPR with your access control system to automate gate operations and alert security teams to vehicles of interest.

Why DataStew
Why Choose DataStew for AI Video Analytics
Certified Expertise DataStew holds Genetec certification, one of the most rigorous credentialing processes in the physical security industry. Our technicians are trained on the latest AI analytics platforms and deployments, not generalist installers learning on your project.
Nationwide Deployment We design remotely and deploy through a hybrid model, combining our certified engineers with vetted local technicians across the United States. Whether you have one location in Dallas or 50 sites nationwide, we deliver consistent results.
Vendor Agnostic Integration We are not locked into a single manufacturer's AI solution. We work with Genetec, Axis Communications, Vaidio.ai, Hanwha, and other leading platforms to design the right AI analytics architecture for your specific environment and budget.
Ongoing Support AI video analytics systems require tuning, updates, and ongoing management to stay effective. DataStew provides remote monitoring, system health checks, and on-site support to keep your AI security infrastructure performing at peak accuracy.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can AI video analytics work with my existing cameras? In many cases, yes. AI analytics can be applied to existing IP camera infrastructure through server-based software. Some edge AI solutions like Axis or Hanwha cameras require hardware upgrades, but we always assess your existing infrastructure before recommending replacement.
How do you reduce false alarms with AI analytics? AI models are trained to understand context like distinguishing a person from a tree branch moving in the wind, or a delivery driver from a trespasser. We tune detection rules and sensitivity settings during deployment and refine them over time based on your environment's specific false alarm patterns.
Do you support cloud based AI video analytics? Yes. We deploy both on-premises, cloud, and hybrid AI video analytics architectures depending on your data sovereignty requirements, bandwidth constraints, and operational preferences.
What is the ROI on AI video analytics? Studies show many organizations using video analytics achieve measurable ROI. We can help you build a business case specific to your organization's size and risk profile.
Do you offer AI video analytics for Dallas businesses specifically? Yes, DataStew is headquartered in Dallas, TX and serves DFW businesses with local on-site support. We also serve enterprise and government clients nationwide through our hybrid deployment model.

Datastew has been an outstanding partner in our IT infrastructure projects and helped us keep up with the ever-changing cyber security environment. Datastew was able to deliver a customized solution that we were able to build upon throughout the years. Chris also provided exceptional customer service 24/7!
DataStew has served the Port through a variety of complex projects including a multi-million dollar joint development with the City of Oakland. If you have complex technology projects that require high attention to detail, I would not hesitate to recommend DataStew.
Over the last several years University of California, Irvine has been building upon its security infrastructure and DataStew has been an integral part of that upgrade. They assisted in the development of a 450+ terabyte security camera storage array that will lead us into the future. DataStew’s professionalism and attention to detail was paramount in that contract, current contracts, and I’m sure future contracts.
For over a decade, I’ve relied upon DataStew to support my projects with their big-picture thinking and attention to detail. DataStew has been very responsive and able to communicate difficult concepts to reach solutions that best fit the client’s needs.
