AIVA
AI Video Analytics
A unified AI video intelligence platform powered by HIK Vision AI hardware and edge capabilities, combined with SenseTime advanced analytics — delivered end-to-end by Weststar Engineering.
Agenda
What we will cover in this proposal
Market Opportunity
AI Video Analytics is one of the fastest-growing enterprise security segments globally
Global AI Video Analytics Market (USD Billion)
Market Drivers
- Rapid proliferation of IP cameras across enterprise and government sites
- Declining GPU compute costs making AI inference affordable at scale
- Regulatory and compliance pressure requiring documented security response
- Proven ROI from early adopters driving broader Asia-Pacific adoption
Current Challenges
Traditional CCTV monitoring creates more risk than it resolves
Operational Blind Spots
- Fragmented CCTV systems with no centralised view or analytics
- Security teams reviewing footage manually — slow and error-prone
- Incidents missed or escalated too late due to alert fatigue
- No cross-camera correlation — events appear isolated
Business Impact
- Surveillance investment delivers raw footage — not operational intelligence
- Compliance reporting done manually with no audit trail automation
- No KPI visibility for management on security operations
- Difficult to scale monitoring as site count grows
The Numbers Tell the Story

Deployment Scale Reference
Hardware & Edge AI
Software AI Platform
Dual Engine — Better Together
HIK Vision AI and SenseTime are not competitors in AIVA — they operate at different layers, each doing what it does best
HIK Vision AI
- Cameras capture and detect at the edge
- On-device AI inference — ultra low latency
- RTSP streams feed into the platform
- ISAPI events push to backend
SenseTime SenseStudio
- Multi-channel analytics orchestration
- 50+ algorithm library on stream feeds
- Smart search and cross-camera trace
- REST API events to AIVA
AIVA by Weststar
- Unified dashboard and command view
- Incident workflow and alert management
- Role-based access for all user types
- Reports, exports, and management KPIs
Hardware Advantage
HIK Vision AI cameras perform detection at the source — reducing bandwidth requirements and ensuring real-time response even without network connectivity to the server.
Analytics Depth
SenseTime's 50+ algorithm library processes complex multi-scene scenarios that edge cameras alone cannot handle — crowd analysis, behavior patterns, forensic search.
AIVA Ownership
AIVA remains Weststar Engineering's owned product — the stable business-facing layer above both AI partners. The client always sees one platform regardless of the backend.

AIVA — High-Level System Flow
AIVA sits above the AI engine layer as the stable, business-facing product. Detection events flow upward from hardware to analytics to the AIVA control layer, then outward to operators, management, and integrated systems.
Video Input Layer
HIK Vision AI cameras, NVR, RTSP streams, thermal sensors, and supported IP sources.
AI Analysis Layer
HIK Vision edge AI + SenseTime SenseStudio: face, behaviour, crowd, vehicle, search, anomaly detection, and event generation.
AIVA Control Layer
Rules engine, dashboards, incident review, alert workflow, smart search, user management, approvals, and reporting.
Business Integration
External systems, notifications (email/SMS), exports, webhook triggers, and downstream operational actions.
PostgreSQL — incidents, users, devices, detection logs, audit trails, and analytics summaries.
RBAC, TLS/HTTPS, session audit logs, and backup policy. On-premise deployment keeps data on-site.
REST API + ISAPI / ONVIF for HIK Vision. SenseTime REST API for analytics events. Webhook support for third-party systems.

Turnkey Delivery
Weststar Engineering manages the entire project — hardware supply, installation, software integration, tuning, training, and ongoing support. One contract, one team.
UAT Before Handover
Every deployment includes a structured UAT phase. We do not hand over until the system meets agreed performance criteria and your team is fully trained.
SLA-Backed Support
Optional annual support and maintenance SLA — remote monitoring, on-site response, platform updates, and helpdesk support for long-term reliability.
Camera Placement & Detection Requirements
AI analytics performance depends on camera placement, lighting, and scene quality. We document these requirements upfront — no surprises during UAT.
Camera Installation Guidelines
- Recommended light intensity: above 50 lux
- Camera height: 2.5m – 3.5m (common indoor reference)
- Viewing angle: 15° – 30° for optimal detection
- Horizontal distance: more than 3m from target zone
- Avoid severe backlight, blur, and heavy occlusion
Face Recognition Quality
- Eye distance: at least 60 pixels in frame
- Face should be centered, clear, and not heavily occluded
- Reflective accessories reduce recognition reliability
- Longer face presence in frame improves match accuracy
Representative Accuracy
These figures are only meaningful when the documented boundary conditions are met.
Site Survey Included
Weststar Engineering conducts a full site survey before finalising the hardware BOM — ensuring cameras are specified for the right positions, angles, and lighting.
Pilot Before Full Rollout
We always recommend a pilot phase with representative cameras before full deployment. This validates accuracy in your specific environment and tunes detection thresholds accordingly.
