GT-AiVision Virtual Patrol
Add Scheduled AI Patrol Services Across a Customer’s Camera Estate
Capture camera snapshots on a defined schedule, evaluate them against human-readable patrol rules, record findings, and generate structured reports—giving partners a practical way to add repeatable monitoring services to compatible CCTV environments.
The service opportunity
Extend CCTV service beyond installation and maintenance
Sites with many cameras can struggle to review every view consistently and document routine checks. Virtual Patrol helps partners offer scheduled camera review, exception reporting, and management reports as an additional service.
Partners can combine GT-AiVision platform output with their own review, escalation, customer communication, and reporting services.
Potential recurring service components
- Scheduled patrol checks across configured cameras.
- Customer-specific inspection rules.
- Normal, warning, or exception findings.
- Patrol history and trend review.
- Scheduled PDF reporting and email distribution.
- Partner-led review and escalation.
How it works
From scheduled camera check to customer report
Connect
Access compatible cameras through stable RTSP streams on the customer network.
Schedule
Configure patrol times and operating windows for selected cameras.
Define Rules
Write human-readable inspection criteria based on the customer checklist.
Capture
Take camera snapshots automatically at the configured patrol times.
Analyse
Use a configurable local or remote Vision Language Model to evaluate each image.
Record
Store verdicts, supporting snapshots, and exceptions for review.
Report
Generate structured PDF patrol reports and deliver them to defined recipients.
Escalate
Partners review findings and apply the agreed customer response workflow.
Example patrol scenarios
Translate customer checklists into scheduled visual observations
Example questions can be configured according to the site, camera view, and operating procedure.
Gate and access status
Is a gate or access point visibly open or closed? Is an unexpected person or object visible?
Area readiness
Is a loading bay clear? Is an area obstructed? Is housekeeping consistent with the defined checklist?
Site checklist items
Is visible PPE consistent with the configured rule? Is a barricade or designated safety control visibly present?
These are VLM-assisted observations, not guaranteed real-time detection events. Results depend on image quality, camera view, prompt design, scene complexity, and the selected VLM.
Reports and operator review
Turn routine camera checks into evidence and management reporting
Virtual Patrol provides patrol schedule and run history, camera-by-camera findings, verdict and exception records, supporting snapshots, PDF reports, scheduled email delivery, and patrol statistics.
Partners can package these outputs with their own monitoring desk, supervisor review, customer escalation, or management-reporting service.
Report workflow
- Review scheduled patrol completion.
- Filter normal and exception findings.
- Confirm supporting camera snapshots.
- Generate structured PDF reports.
- Distribute to agreed customer recipients.
- Track repeated findings or operational trends.
Choose the right processing model
Virtual Patrol and Live Monitoring serve different needs
| Capability | Virtual Patrol | Live Monitoring |
|---|---|---|

| Output | Findings, exceptions, PDF reports | Events, snapshots, dashboard and Telegram alerts |
| Best suited to | Routine inspection and reporting | Situations requiring prompt event awareness |
Deployment tiers
Package Virtual Patrol around managed-camera coverage
Managed-camera coverage is separate from simultaneous real-time AI processing. Optional Live Monitoring channels are specified separately.
Virtual Patrol 100
Supports a managed estate of up to 100 configured cameras, subject to the agreed patrol design.
Virtual Patrol 300
Supports a managed estate of up to 300 configured cameras, subject to the agreed patrol design.
Virtual Patrol 500
Supports a managed estate of up to 500 configured cameras, subject to the agreed patrol design.
Package suitability depends on camera accessibility, snapshot frequency, reporting scope, VLM configuration, network conditions, and service design.
