Perimeter and restricted areas
Stop intrusions before they become incidents, with talk-down first and an operator second.
- When
- Person in zone after hours
- Then
- Speaker + light, escalate if they stay
AI Workflows that decide what happens next
3dEYE AI Workflows turn a camera event into a complete response. The AI Operator reviews the clip, your rules decide the path, and speakers, lights or escalation run automatically — across every connected camera and site.
1 Trigger
Any event from a connected camera or sensor starts the flow.
2 Assess
The AI Operator reviews the clip against the site's instructions.
3 Decide
If/Else branches with AND/OR conditions choose the path.
4 Respond
Speaker, light and escalation actions run in parallel.
Why AI Workflows
Automate the monitoring operation, not just the detection
Detection tells you something moved. AI Workflows decide whether it matters, what to do about it, and when a person needs to see it.
Judgement on every event
The AI Operator assesses each alert in context — what it sees, the site's own instructions, and the time of day — before anything reaches your team.
One rule, every site
Build an AI Workflow once and assign it to cameras, zones and schedules at any location. It runs in the cloud, on any camera brand you have connected.
People on the decisions that count
Routine alerts are handled automatically. Operators receive the events that need judgement — with the clip, the AI's reasoning and the next steps attached.
How it works
From camera event to verified response
A typical after-hours deterrence rule in AI Workflows. Each step maps to a block in the builder, and each one can be changed per site.
-
01 · Event Trigger
Detect
A person enters a restricted zone outside working hours. Cloud or camera-side analytics raise the event. -
02 · AI Operator
Assess
The AI Operator reviews the clip, rates the risk and recommends an action based on the site's instructions. -
03 · Speaker · Light
Deter
A pre-recorded message plays through the on-site IP speaker, and lights switch on at the same time. -
04 · If/Else · Escalation
Escalate
If the person is still there after 30 seconds, an operator gets a prioritised alert with the clip and dispatches guards.
Inside the NextGen Monitoring Portal
When an AI Workflow escalates, the operator sees the reasoning
Escalated events open in the NextGen incident view with live and recorded video, the site's instructions and the AI Operator's assessment side by side.
- AssessmentA risk level and a plain-language description of what the AI observed.
- DecisionThe recommended course, based on the site's own procedures.
- ActionsTalk down over the site speakers or call a contact in one click.
Human in the loop
Automated where it's routine. Human where it matters.
You decide exactly where automation stops. Every AI Workflow draws the same line between what runs by itself and what waits for a person.
What AI Workflows automate
Reviewing each event and filtering routine activity
Rating risk and describing what happened
Playing talk-down audio and switching lights or relays
Waiting, re-checking and branching on the result
Logging every action against the event and its clip
What your team controls
Which cameras, zones and schedules each AI Workflow covers
Detection masks, object classes and the confidence threshold
Site instructions, contacts and escalation paths
Which actions run automatically and which need approval
Every dispatch to guards or law enforcement
When is human review required?
Whenever an AI Workflow reaches an escalation step — and always before dispatch. The AI Operator recommends; a human operator confirms. Ambiguous events can be routed straight to a person instead of an automated response.
Use cases
AI Workflows for real monitoring work
Each AI Workflow stacks a detection, a condition and a response. Start from a template and adjust it to the site.
Parking lot security
Catch loitering and break-in behaviour around vehicles without watching every feed.
- When
- Loitering near parked vehicles
- Then
- Talk-down, then operator review
Safety and PPE compliance
Flag missing hard hats or safety vests in work zones and keep a record for compliance.
- When
- No hard hat or vest in a work zone
- Then
- Notify the supervisor, log the event
Gate and access control
Let known plates and faces through automatically, so operators handle only the exceptions.
- When
- Plate or face at the gate
- Then
- Known: log it. Unknown: operator
Incident investigation
Keep the evidence together from the moment an event fires, ready for insurers and legal teams.
- When
- An event is escalated on any site
- Then
- Clips, notes and actions go into the incident report
Retail theft and ORC
Recognise repeat offenders the moment they enter any connected location.
- When
- Watchlist face or plate match
- Then
- Alert store staff and the operator
Cameras and integrations
Works with the cameras, devices and platforms you already run
AI Workflows sit on top of pure cloud video management, so there is nothing to install on site beyond your cameras — and a Gateway where you want edge processing.
- Cameras
- Multi-brand IP cameras over ONVIF or RTSP, plug-and-play Hanwha, Milesight, Sunell, Uniview, i-PRO and Intelbras models, and IONODES body-worn cameras. Plug and play
- On-site devices
- IP speakers for talk-down; lights and relays through Gateway V2 I/O pins and Modbus TCP. Gateway
- Monitoring platforms
- Immix, Evalink, Bold Group, ESI, Patriot and vidsys. Technology partners
- Custom logic
- Webhooks and IFTTT, WASM Transform blocks in the builder, and the full API and SDK. API and SDK
Built to scale
Cover more sites without adding headcount
When routine events resolve themselves, each operator can take on more cameras — and give full attention to the alerts that are left.
Up to 4×
more cameras for a single live monitoring operator with the AI Operator, without sacrificing performance
Platform update, March 2026
6 s
event delivery to the 3dEYE monitoring portal with low-latency analytics
Platform update, June–August 2024
- Fewer false alarms reach operators
- Faster, consistent response on every site
- Evidence and audit trail for every event
- No on-site servers or NVRs to maintain

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about 3dEYE AI Workflows
What are AI video monitoring workflows?
3dEYE AI Workflows are rules that connect a camera event to an automated response. Each one chains a trigger, an assessment by the AI Operator, conditions and actions — such as a speaker announcement, a light or an escalation to an operator — so routine events are handled without anyone watching the feed.
What can trigger an AI Workflow?
Any event a connected camera or sensor raises: a person or vehicle detection, a line crossing, restricted-area entry, loitering, a licence plate, a face match, fire or smoke, missing PPE, or a temperature event.
What does the AI Operator do in a workflow?
The AI Operator is the agentic assistant in the NextGen Monitoring Portal. In an AI Workflow it reviews the event clip in context, rates the risk, describes what it observed and recommends an action based on the site's instructions. Its output can drive the next step or be shown to an operator.
When does a person need to review an event?
Whenever the AI Workflow escalates, and always before a dispatch to guards or law enforcement. You can also send ambiguous events straight to an operator instead of an automated response.
Can AI Workflows control speakers and lights on site?
Yes. AI Workflows can play pre-recorded audio through IP speakers and switch lights or relays through the Gateway, in parallel or in sequence.
Can one AI Workflow run across multiple sites and camera brands?
Yes. AI Workflows run in the cloud and apply to any connected camera, zone or schedule, regardless of brand or location. Change the rule once and it updates everywhere it is assigned.
How do AI Workflows relate to AI Vision Agent?
AI Workflows respond to individual events as they happen, and the AI Operator assists your operators with each alert. AI Vision Agent is a separate product: it looks across your video continuously, scoring risk per site with severity levels and trends, and delivers prioritised recommendations in scheduled reports.
Does it integrate with our central station software?
Events can route to the NextGen Monitoring Portal or to integrated platforms such as Immix and Evalink, with the video attached. Custom integrations are available through webhooks and the API.
