Solving the Critical Problems
of Video Surveillance

Imagine knowing what your cameras saw, in minutes.

01 · Incidents

The cameras saw it.
Nobody else did.

Every user of surveillance cameras needs to ask one question: “Why am I installing them?”

In September 2026 alone, every one of these incidents was captured on CCTV.

Don’t let this happen to you.

So you never have to ask, “Why didn’t we know that?”

02 · The Gap

Cameras are everywhere.
Governance is nowhere.

95%+
of footage is never reviewed
A widely accepted industry estimate

Surveillance means continuous observation, not recording for later retrieval. Yet footage is usually looked at only after something is reported. If nothing is reported, how can anyone be sure nothing went wrong? The cameras may have seen it; nobody acted. By then, the camera has done its job and the organisation has not.

Audited daily as a disciplined SOP, the same footage raises the chance of prevention, early detection, and timely intervention.

No daily audit of the footage

Footage is recorded and forgotten. It is seen only after an incident, defeating the purpose of installing cameras.

No structured reporting

Audit and incident findings are not recorded in a standardized intelligent format, so actionable insights and patterns are lost.

No smart data management

No way to reduce data size, create a cost-effective disaster recovery mechanism, or build a knowledge repository for future decisions.

Surveillance systems drown you in footage you'll never watch.

No Governance = No Value.

Visual Evidence Governance: footage that is reviewed, documented, preserved and acted upon, every day.

03 · The Missing Pieces

The three missing pieces
of CCTV.

Audit

Audit CCTV video footage daily as a standard operating procedure to discover the unknown. With the best situational awareness, take immediate corrective and preventive action.

Smart Backup

Save on storage costs, while the original video remains in the source system. Enable cost-effective disaster recovery, and an institutional library of important and relevant findings. Installation is on-prem. Your data remains with you.

Standardized Reporting

Create standardized intelligent reports with one click in PowerPoint, Word, Excel and PDF, using the 5Ws + 1H. PowerPoint reports carry the video embedded. Gain business intelligence.

See what the camera saw in 95% less time.*
Know what you don't know.
Turn garbage to gold.

Patented COM-SUR is the world’s only CCTV Video Footage Auditing, Smart Backup and Standardized Intelligent Incident Reporting Software. It turns 24 hours of multi-camera footage into something a human can actually review, in minutes, at a speed controlled entirely by you. It works with all cameras and VMS, with no API or SDK integration (conditions apply).

Seven AI systems were asked to find an equivalent. None could. Read the Challenge ↗

04 · How It Works

A full day. Every camera.
In minutes.

COM-SUR turns recorded video into time-stamped images, at a cadence you choose, commonly one per second. Each image shows all your cameras together. Your auditor moves through the day in COM-SUR’s media player: forward or back, at any speed, with zoom, filters and false colours. The original video stays intact for any closer look.

An example: 16 cameras, one day
34.56 million frames

16 cameras at 25 frames per second, for 24 hours.

86,400 images

One per second, each showing all 16 cameras.

Under 30 minutes*

The full day, audited by a trained human.

The same principle works for one camera or thousands.

*Conditions apply.

05 · Benefits of Governance

09 · Free Tool

The Daily CCTV Video Footage
Auditing Chart.

Your most valuable tool. It documents CCTV audit findings in a structured, standardized manner, transforming surveillance footage from passive storage into Governed Visual Intelligence.

It enables structured documentation, trend analysis, compliance trails, and human-audited visual data for AI and ML development, where applicable.

10 · New Skill

CCTV Video Footage Auditor.
New profession. New jobs. New businesses.

"Cameras never lie. But how will one know, unless one 'sees' what the camera 'saw'?"

India's Ministry of Skill Development has set National Occupational Standards for "CCTV Video Footage Auditor". The Ministry of Education will introduce it as a course for grades 11 and 12. It can also be an immediate occupation for retired Police and LEA personnel.

auditing and investigation.

Three modules, from fundamentals to advanced, available on Udemy.

12 · 'Better' AI

Not yet another AI solution.
It helps make your AI better.

A.I. when you need it. H.I. all the time!

COM-SUR does not replace your AI, and it does not train or change it. It makes daily human auditing practical and records what your auditors find. That gives the AI you use, or plan to use, what most AI lacks: real, site-specific data and structured human feedback.

Site-specific data

Routine auditing produces structured, time-stamped visual records of your own premises, not generic, public, or synthetic datasets.

Human feedback

As auditors log approvals, rejections and exceptions in the Daily CCTV Video Footage Auditing Chart, including what the AI flagged wrongly or missed, each entry becomes structured, site-specific feedback. Your AI provider can then use it to evaluate and improve its models, through its own process.

Collaboration

We collaborate with existing AI vendors, and with organisations developing their own AI solutions.
