SEiNG doesn’t run analytics on individual devices at the edge — and here’s the good news: you don’t need it to. Our centralised cloud platform already gives you the real-time alerts and instant decision-making that edge analytics promises, plus something edge hardware can’t: a single, unified view across every camera and every site.
What is edge analytics, and why does it matter?
Edge analytics means processing data directly on a device — a camera or sensor — instead of sending it to the cloud first. It’s a smart bit of engineering: cutting out the round trip to a server means faster local reactions, and it’s why edge analytics gets used in places like manufacturing lines, where a split-second matters.
In a security context, that usually means a camera spotting something unusual — a person where they shouldn’t be, a vehicle lingering too long — and firing off an alert straight away, without waiting on a cloud connection.
That’s a useful capability. It’s just not the only way to get it.
Does SEiNG give me real-time alerts without edge analytics?
Yes.. Our true cloud VSaaS has custom alerts and analytics to provide you with proactive insight across every connected camera. You get the speed of edge analytics with the added intelligence of context: what’s happening across your whole site, not just what one camera can see in isolation.
So if fast alerts and quick decisions are what you’re after, you’re already covered — no extra edge hardware, no fragmented setup, no compromise.
Why does SEiNG focus on centralised cloud analytics instead of edge devices?
Because it gives you more, not less. By aggregating video and data from every source into one secure cloud infrastructure, SEiNG hands operators a genuinely unified view of everything under watch — brilliant for multi-site operations where consistency and scale really matter.
It also means:
- One platform to manage, rather than analytics scattered across dozens of individual devices
- Scalable UK storage that grows with your estate, with no per-device ceiling
- Smarter alerts, built from the full picture across your sites — not a single camera’s narrow field of view
- You can use your existing cameras – no need to upgrade your cameras unless you have to, and even then, any brand will do
- You can develop custom analytics across every camera, for unique use cases where an off-the-shelf solution isn’t quite right
This flexible approach is cost-effective and smarter for businesses with lots of cameras or sites.
