AI Video Analytics in Qatar with AerWatch®
Transform Your CCTV System into an Intelligent Security Platform
QRES Innovation Technology delivers advanced AI video analytics solutions in Qatar through AerWatch®, the Vision AI platform developed by AerVision Technologies.
AerWatch transforms conventional CCTV and video surveillance systems into intelligent platforms capable of automatically detecting, tracking, counting and analysing people, vehicles, objects and events.
Instead of relying exclusively on security operators to continuously watch multiple camera feeds, AerWatch analyses video in real time and highlights events that require attention. This helps organisations improve security, safety, situational awareness and operational efficiency while obtaining greater value from their existing CCTV infrastructure.
QRES provides the local assessment, system design, integration, implementation, training and support required to deploy AerWatch across single-site and multi-site environments in Qatar.
What Is AI Video Analytics?
AI video analytics uses computer vision and artificial intelligence to analyse live or recorded video automatically.
Traditional CCTV systems primarily record footage for live monitoring or later investigation. AerWatch adds an intelligent analytics layer that can identify predefined objects, activities and behavioural patterns without requiring operators to continuously monitor every video stream.
Depending on the customer’s requirements, AI video analytics can be used to:
- Detect people, vehicles and other relevant objects.
- Track movement within monitored areas.
- Identify entry into restricted zones.
- Detect loitering and abnormal movement.
- Count people and vehicles.
- Monitor crowd density and occupancy.
- Recognise faces and licence plates.
- Detect tailgating at controlled entrances.
- Generate heatmaps and movement analytics.
- Produce real-time alerts and operational insights.
By automatically bringing relevant events to the operator’s attention, AerWatch supports faster and more informed responses to security and operational situations.
AerWatch AI Video Analytics Capabilities
People and Vehicle Detection
AerWatch can detect, classify and track people and vehicles within monitored areas.
The platform can help security teams identify activity at entrances, exits, perimeters, parking areas, roads, public spaces and other important locations. Detection rules can be configured according to the specific function of each camera and monitored area.
Traffic and People Counting
AerWatch provides automated counting of people and vehicles.
Real-time and historical counting data can help organisations understand:
- The number of people entering or leaving a facility.
- Vehicle traffic through entrances and controlled areas.
- Peak periods and high-traffic times.
- Occupancy patterns.
- Queue formation.
- Movement between different areas.
These insights can support security operations, staffing decisions, capacity planning and resource allocation.
Crowd and Occupancy Analytics
AerWatch can monitor crowd density and occupancy levels in public and controlled environments.
Configurable thresholds can be used to alert operators when the number of people in an area exceeds an acceptable level or when an unusual crowd surge occurs.
Crowd analytics can be particularly useful in airports, hospitals, shopping centres, transport facilities, educational campuses, event venues and government buildings.
Restricted-Zone Monitoring
Virtual zones can be defined within a camera’s field of view.
AerWatch can generate an alert when a person, vehicle or object enters a restricted or sensitive area. Rules can be configured according to object type, location, direction, schedule and duration.
Restricted-zone monitoring can support:
- Perimeter protection.
- Critical infrastructure security.
- Protection of technical areas.
- Monitoring of emergency exits.
- Prevention of unauthorised access.
- Safety monitoring around machinery or hazardous locations.
Anomaly and Behaviour Detection
AerWatch can identify activities that differ from expected patterns.
Examples may include:
- Loitering in a monitored area.
- Sudden or unusual movement.
- Running in a location where it is not expected.
- Abnormal crowd formation.
- Movement in an unauthorised direction.
- Suspicious behaviour near restricted assets.
- Unusual activity during defined periods.
AI-based anomaly detection helps operators focus on events that may require investigation instead of manually observing every camera continuously.
Facial Recognition
AerWatch supports facial recognition for authorised security and operational applications.
The platform can help organisations identify persons of interest, search for individuals and compare detected faces against authorised watchlists.
Facial recognition may support:
- Person-of-interest detection.
- Security investigations.
- Controlled access applications.
- Locating individuals across monitored areas.
- Identifying repeated appearances.
- Supporting emergency and evacuation procedures.
Facial recognition deployments should be designed in accordance with the customer’s security policies, operational requirements and applicable privacy obligations.
Licence Plate Recognition
AerWatch provides licence plate recognition, also known as LPR or ANPR, for vehicle identification and access-control applications.
The system can capture licence plates and associate them with the relevant time, location and camera footage.
Licence plate recognition can support:
- Automated vehicle access.
- Vehicle whitelist and blacklist management.
- Detection of unauthorised vehicles.
- Parking security.
- Traffic monitoring.
- Vehicle movement investigation.
- Entry and exit records.
LPR events can also be integrated with wider surveillance, parking and security-management systems.
Heatmaps and Movement Analysis
AerWatch heatmaps provide a visual representation of how people or vehicles move through an environment.
Heatmaps can help organisations identify:
- Frequently used routes.
- High-traffic areas.
- Congested locations.
- Areas with prolonged dwell time.
- Underutilised spaces.
- Queue and waiting patterns.
- Potential operational bottlenecks
This information can support both security planning and operational decision-making.
Integrating AerWatch with Existing CCTV Systems
AerWatch is designed to enhance existing surveillance environments by adding an AI video analytics layer.
Depending on the current infrastructure and project requirements, the solution can be integrated with:
- Existing IP cameras.
- CCTV surveillance systems.
- Video Management Systems.
- Access-control systems.
- Security control rooms.
- Command-and-control platforms.
- Alarm and notification systems.
- Operational dashboards and reporting tools.
This allows organisations to introduce intelligent video analytics without necessarily replacing their complete CCTV infrastructure.
Before implementation, QRES evaluates the existing cameras, video quality, positioning, network capacity, VMS environment, server requirements and operational use cases.
Each camera is then assigned only the analytics that are relevant to its location and purpose.
