Viral video showcases AI theft detection in real time, everything you need to know about AI enhanced security cameras

In a recent video posted to TikTok, AI surveillance software vendor Veesion showcased their AI theft detection in real time. The video shows someone in an aisle of a store pocketing items while the camera accurately detects the movement as “item in pocket”. You can see another person in the background and it accurately detects that they’re walking while it’s simultaneously monitoring the first individual highlighting the systems ability to focus on multiple activities at the same time.

Deterring theft has been a primary concern for those who make investments in physical security like security cameras (it’s estimated visible cameras decrease theft by 25%), but reviewing footage is usually something that occurs after the fact and is a time-consuming process for employees and law enforcement. With recent AI enhancements to cameras, suspicious activities can be monitored in real time and acted upon in the moment.

Here at Valley Techlogic we work with a number of camera vendors who have also touted the benefits of their AI solutions. One of our primary security camera solution partners, Avigilon, showcases cameras that can detect certain movements, look for suspicious objects or even integrate with sensors that detect smoke or water intrusions. If you’re in the market for a new system here are some AI-centric features, you should be asking about in 2025:

1. Real-time Threat Detection and Alerting: AI algorithms can analyze video footage in real-time to detect unusual activities, such as a person loitering, trespassing, or engaging in suspicious behavior. This allows for immediate alerts to security personnel, who can respond more quickly to potential threats.
2. Facial Recognition: AI can enable facial recognition technology, which can identify individuals in real-time. This is especially useful for verifying authorized personnel or spotting persons of interest in high-security areas, providing an additional layer of protection.
3. Object Detection: AI can help detect specific objects or vehicles, like unattended bags, weapons, or parked cars in no-parking zones. This can help prevent criminal activity, such as theft or vandalism, by detecting potentially dangerous situations early on.
4. Smart Motion Detection: Traditional motion sensors may generate false alarms due to animals or environmental changes. AI-powered systems can distinguish between human movement and irrelevant motion, significantly reducing false positives and improving the accuracy of alerts.
5. Behavioral Analysis: AI can track and analyze behavior patterns over time, learning normal activities and flagging deviations. For example, if someone is walking in an area they shouldn’t be or exhibiting aggressive behavior, the system can trigger an alert to inform security about potential risks.
