As cities across Western Australia continue to grow, so do the demands on local councils, police, and facility managers. Managing urban safety doesn’t just mean more patrols or more cameras – it means using smarter tools to monitor, analyse, and respond more efficiently.
That’s where video analytics comes in.
At Safer Community Security, we help local governments and commercial operators in Perth and across WA harness cutting-edge analytics systems – including Gallagher, Axis, and Avigilon – to protect urban spaces with fewer resources and greater impact.
What is Video Analytics?
Video analytics uses AI and computer vision to automatically detect, interpret, and flag specific behaviours or incidents captured on CCTV. Instead of watching hours of footage or relying on motion triggers, your system does the heavy lifting – in real time.
Use Cases in Urban WA
Loitering & Trespass Detection
• Detects lingering individuals in restricted or after-hours zones
• Triggers alerts to security or ranger teams without manual review
Vehicle Monitoring & Traffic Events
• Monitors illegal parking, vehicle entry in pedestrian zones, or carpark occupancy
• Often used in council-run lots and civic centres
Object Left/Removed Alerts
• Identifies unattended bags or missing public equipment (e.g. benches, bins)
• Especially useful in CBDs, transport hubs, and event areas
Crowd Formation & Movement Tracking
• Helps manage public safety at events, protests, or busy precincts
• Detects abnormal gathering patterns or bottlenecks
Early Fire or Smoke Detection
• Available with thermal or environmental camera overlays
• Useful in outdoor assets near bushland or council depots
Cost & Resource Savings
Fewer On-Site Patrols Needed
• Real-time alerts reduce the need for constant physical patrols
• Teams can respond more precisely, only when something is flagged
Faster Incident Resolution
• Smart search tools let you find clips by behaviour, object, or person – in seconds
• No more scrubbing through hours of footage
Maximises Existing Infrastructure
• Many analytics tools integrate with existing camera networks
• Safer Community Security works with systems from Gallagher, Axis, Avigilon, and Hikvision – all widely used in WA
WA Case Study: Council Depot Theft Reduction
A local council north of Perth was facing repeated tool and asset thefts from a lightly monitored works depot. By adding Avigilon analytics to their existing camera network:
• After-hours loitering and perimeter breaches were detected instantly
• One arrest and two major thefts were prevented within 6 weeks
• Patrol frequency was reduced by 40%, cutting overtime costs
