Stop Theft
Before It
Leaves Your Store.
VisionGuard is an on-premise AI computer vision platform built for retail theft detection — and far beyond. No cloud. No facial recognition. Fully UK GDPR compliant.
Your CCTV. Now Intelligent.
VisionGuard is an on-premise AI computer vision platform that transforms your existing CCTV infrastructure into a real-time intelligence system. No hardware replacement. No cloud processing. No monthly subscription per camera.
Built primarily for retail theft detection and shoplifting prevention, VisionGuard runs on a local edge device using YOLO for person detection and a Vision Language Model (VLM) to assess behaviour frame by frame. When suspicious behaviour is detected, staff are alerted instantly with a live view and a pre-event clip.
The same underlying computer vision architecture that powers retail theft detection also makes VisionGuard deployable across security analytics, autonomous vehicle perception, robotics vision systems and custom enterprise applications.
How VisionGuard Works
Camera Feed
Connects via RTSP to your existing IP cameras. No hardware replacement required.
Person Detection
YOLO identifies every person in frame in real time, frame by frame.
VLM Analysis
A Vision Language Model assesses behaviour — concealment, evasion, bag stuffing, or any custom threat.
Instant Alert
Staff or operators receive an on-screen alert with a live feed and pre-event clip.
Clip & Analytics
Pre and post-event footage stored locally. Incident data feeds the analytics dashboard.
Retail Theft & Shoplifting Detection
VisionGuard's core deployment is retail security — detecting shoplifting, concealment behaviour and self-checkout fraud in real time across any retail environment.
Retail Theft Mode
Detects concealment behaviour, bag stuffing and evasion on the shop floor in real time. Alerts staff before the suspect leaves.
Self-Checkout Mode
Monitors self-checkout lanes specifically — the highest-risk zone in supermarkets and large format retail.
Sentry Mode
After-hours monitoring. Any human presence triggers an immediate assessment and alert to your security team.
Patrol Mode
Monitors staff patrol routes and flags coverage gaps — ensuring your physical security is where it needs to be.
Entry Counter
Tracks footfall and entry patterns to correlate visitor data with incident reports and loss metrics.
Retail Analytics
Every detection event feeds a live analytics dashboard — incident history, peak risk times and trend reporting.
A Platform Built for More.
The computer vision architecture powering VisionGuard is not limited to retail. The same platform — YOLO detection, VLM analysis, edge processing — can be deployed across a range of demanding environments.
Computer Vision Development
A modular computer vision stack available for custom projects — object detection, scene understanding, behavioural analysis and real-time classification for any environment.
Autonomous Vehicles
The perception pipeline that detects and classifies human behaviour in retail is directly applicable to AV vision systems — pedestrian detection, obstacle classification and edge inference.
Robotics Vision
VisionGuard's edge AI architecture — running local inference without cloud dependency — is suited to robotics applications requiring real-time visual understanding and autonomous decision-making.
Warehouse & Logistics
Monitor safety compliance, detect unauthorised zone entry, track equipment movement and flag procedural breaches across warehouse and logistics environments — all on-premise.
Construction & Site Safety
Detect PPE non-compliance, monitor restricted zone access and generate safety incident reports across construction sites using existing camera infrastructure.
Custom Enterprise
Define your own detection rules, threat profiles and alert logic. VisionGuard's custom mode is a blank canvas for any environment requiring AI-powered visual intelligence.
Built Different. By Design.
Most AI vision products process your footage in the cloud. VisionGuard doesn't. Every byte stays on your premises — by architecture, not by policy.
Fully On-Premise
Runs on a local edge device. No footage ever leaves your building. No cloud breach risk. No third-party data exposure.
No Facial Recognition
VisionGuard detects behaviour, not identity. Fully compliant with UK GDPR Articles 6(1)(f) and Article 25 privacy by design.
Works With What You Have
Connects to any IP camera via RTSP. No hardware rip-and-replace. Most installations are live within a day.
No Per-Camera Subscription
Cloud competitors charge monthly per camera. VisionGuard is a one-time installation fee with an optional annual software licence.
Designed for UK Market
Built in the UK, for the UK. Understands UK retail environments, GDPR obligations and British business challenges.
Scales With You
Start with 3 cameras on a single site. Scale to 12+ cameras across multiple sites without changing your infrastructure.
Transparent Pricing
One-time installation fee. No monthly per-camera subscription. Optional annual software licence for updates and support. Enterprise and custom deployments priced on request.

UK GDPR Compliant by Architecture
VisionGuard is designed from the ground up to comply with UK GDPR. No footage leaves your premises. No biometric data is collected. No facial recognition. Privacy by design is not a checkbox — it is the architecture.
