Everything you’d ask before a demo

Astuse is, first and foremost, a video investigation platform. It turns hours of recordings — and the documents around them — into a queryable evidence layer. You ask a question in plain language, and the platform returns the relevant clips, frames and files in seconds.

The investigation problem is concrete: when an incident happens, finding the right moment inside hours, days or weeks of footage is a slow, manual, chronological task. Someone has to sit and watch the tape — and the evidence often surfaces too late to act on.
Astuse flips the workflow. Instead of searching through time, you query the video like you’d query a database — and the AI does the watching for you.

Astuse layers on top of the cameras you already operate via RTSP / ONVIF. You don’t have to rip and replace anything. Many customers run Astuse alongside an existing VMS specifically for the investigation, search and alerting layer.

Operators of distributed sites — government and public agencies, mobility operators, retail networks, industrial and energy infrastructure, logistics and warehousing, education and campuses — anywhere there is too much footage and not enough people to watch it.

Anything visible in the footage: people, vehicles, objects, behaviours, colours, time windows, locations.
Examples: “red backpack near gate B last Tuesday evening”, “every vehicle entering after midnight last week”, “all incidents involving graffiti this month”.

It means Astuse searches across more than just video. It correlates camera feeds with incident reports, photos, PDFs, GPS logs and structured records — so a single query returns the clip, the matching report and the related files together, around the same person, place or moment.

Yes — that’s cross-site re-identification. Astuse follows the same individual, vehicle or recurring object across cameras and locations, and assembles a timeline and map view. It’s the standard way to surface repeat-offender patterns that no single camera could catch.

As far back as your retention window allows. Retention is configurable per customer and per camera, and is typically set to match operational and legal requirements.

Both. Astuse is built around investigation, but cameras can also be connected directly to the platform for continuous monitoring. Defined business rules trigger near-real-time alerts whenever a watched event is detected.

Intrusion, loitering, vandalism, graffiti, theft, sabotage, unauthorized access, after-hours activity and many more. The platform ships with a pre-built rule library, and rules can be tuned to each customer’s context.
