Video becomes rows of governed data.

Every zone on every camera writes readings. VideoBI keeps them as governed datasets: one schema across every site, summarized every fifteen minutes, with a catalog of defined metrics on top.

The readings

Four kinds of readings describe everything a camera sees.

A zone's measurements say what its readings mean, such as the number of people in a queue, the time each car spends at the window or how full a pan is. The same four kinds of readings cover every industry.

ReadingWhat it recordsExample
Zone statesHow a zone stands over time: a count, a fill level or a state, each held for as long as it lasts.pan: mac & cheese · 3 of 12 · 11:52–12:04
VisitsSomething's time in a zone, from arrival to departure.car at menu board · 0:48
CrossingsA line crossed, in or out.front door · in · 12:41:05

Summaries

A year of history answers in seconds.

Readings roll up into fifteen-minute and daily summaries per zone. Dashboards and questions read the summaries, so a year-over-year comparison across a hundred sites is as quick as today's view. A reading that arrives late recomputes only the range it touches.

Metric catalog

Every number has a definition.

79 metrics today, 38 for restaurants and the rest for warehouses: each with its definition, unit, the question it answers, the grains and breakdowns it supports, and its caveats. Dashboards, alerts and Ask all read the same definitions.

  • Capture rate, line wait, walk-outs, drive-thru time
  • Dock turn, detention, labor cost per unit, honeycombing
  • Your business rates turn hours into dollars
The VideoBI metric catalog
Governed

Numbers a finance team can stand behind.

One schema, every site

A store, a warehouse and a job site write the same shapes, so they compare cleanly.

Coverage on every figure

When a camera was down or blocked, the figures it feeds say so, instead of reading low.

Your rates, your dollars

Labor rate, detention rate, rent per position: set once, and every dollar figure uses them.

Isolated per customer

Each organization's data is separated in the database and enforced on every query.

Access by role and site

A store manager sees their store; an area manager their district; executives everything.

Evidence on request

The still or clip behind a reading can be pulled from the device for as long as it's kept there.
