AI Event Detection

Real-Time Event Detection Services for Your Business

Athena AI builds custom AI event detection solutions that identify specific incidents the instant they occur, on your hardware, without cloud dependency. Event detection computer vision that is trained on your environment, your edge cases, and your operational thresholds.

What is AI Event Detection?

AI event detection uses computer vision and machine learning to watch live video or audio feeds and fire an alert the moment a predefined incident occurs. A person crosses a restricted boundary. A machine produces an unfamiliar sound. A worker removes their PPE. Each of these is a discrete event — and a purpose-built model trained on your environment detects it reliably, continuously, without a human watching every screen.

Standard motion detection registers pixel change and fires on everything. Event detection AI understands context: it separates a loiterer from a pedestrian, a fall from a crouch, a fire flicker from a light change. The outcome is alerts with a genuine signal-to-noise ratio — the kind that operators actually respond to, rather than configure notifications to mute.

Four steps from event definition to live detection

Event Definition

We catalogue which events need detection, what a true positive looks like versus a false positive, and what the required response time is. Free, 45-minute call.

Data Review & Scoping

We assess your existing footage and camera positions, then produce a fixed-fee scope with defined accuracy thresholds and a proposed alert delivery method.

Model Training

We train and validate your event detection AI model on your footage and your event classes — iterating until precision and recall targets are met in your specific environment.

Deploy & Hand-Off

We deploy on your hardware, wire up your alert channels, run live acceptance testing with you, and hand over full documentation. The system and model weights are yours.

Event detection solutions trained on your events

Security Event Detection

Perimeter detection events trigger immediate alerts to your phone, monitoring system, or team channel — distinguishing a trespass from an authorised delivery without a human watching the feed.

Abnormal Event Detection

Define normal for your environment. Abnormal event detection flags crowd surges, production anomalies, and equipment deviations calibrated to your own thresholds — not a generic benchmark.

Sound Event Detection

Audio event detection AI identifies breaking glass, machinery fault tones, smoke alarms, and raised voices using sound event detection machine learning models trained on your facility's acoustic signature.

Fleet Telematics Harsh Event Detection

Fleet dashcam solutions with cloud video access and event detection — or fully on-device processing for low-connectivity routes. Harsh braking, distraction, and near-misses surfaced to drivers and fleet managers in real time.

Custom Real-Time Event Detection

From drone detection events to queue overflow to equipment jamming — define the event class, and the event detection algorithm is built around your exact specification.

AI event detection across multiple inudustries

Manufacturing

Abnormal event detection on production lines — equipment jams, product defects, PPE violations, and worker safety incidents detected before the line backs up or a report gets filed.

Retail

Video event detection for loss prevention, queue overflow, and operational incidents — surfaced to staff in seconds, not discovered on tomorrow's CCTV review.

Healthcare

Patient fall detection, bed-exit events, and adverse event detection — processed entirely on-premises so identifiable footage never leaves the facility network.

Security & Property

Security event detection — perimeter breaches, after-hours trespass, and access violations — replacing motion alert noise with genuine, actionable incidents.

Fleet & Logistics

Fleet telematics harsh event detection for harsh braking, driver distraction, and near-miss incidents — surfaced in-cab in real time, not in a post-incident report.

Agriculture & Speciality

From crop disease onset to drone detection events to livestock behaviour monitoring — real-time event detection for environments where specialist knowledge meets visual data at scale.

Athena AI vs. generic and cloud-based alternatives

Feature	Athena AI - Custom Edge	Generic / Cloud-Based
Alert latency	✓ Sub-100ms on-device inference	✗ 1–30 seconds cloud round-trip
Event classes	✓ Fully custom — trained on your specific events	✗ Fixed list of supported event types
False positive rate	✓ Calibrated to your environment and thresholds	✗ Generic thresholds produce high noise volumes
Data privacy	✓ Footage stays on your network — zero third-party exposure	✗ Live footage routed through vendor infrastructure
Ongoing cost	✓ One-time build — no per-alert or per-stream fees	✗ Monthly per-camera or per-alert pricing
Offline operation	✓ Fully functional without internet connectivity	✗ System goes dark when connectivity drops
