Real-Time Threat Detection Across Multi-Camera Surveillance Networks
For security operations managing 100+ cameras. Detect threats in real-time with 92% accuracy. Reduce false positives to under 5% with AI-powered monitoring.
Security operations centers, corporate security teams, and surveillance providers managing multi-site camera networks with 100+ feeds
Human operators cannot monitor hundreds of camera feeds simultaneously, critical incidents are missed, and post-incident forensic review takes hours or days

Why Mixpeek
92% threat detection accuracy, false positive rate under 5% after calibration, and sub-second alert delivery for rapid response
Overview
Modern security operations face an impossible challenge: monitoring hundreds of camera feeds with limited human operators. Traditional motion detection creates alert fatigue with excessive false positives. This use case shows how Mixpeek enables intelligent threat detection that catches real incidents while minimizing false alarms.
Challenges This Solves
Operator Overload
Security operators cannot effectively monitor more than 16-20 camera feeds
Impact: Incidents in unmonitored areas are missed, response times delayed
Alert Fatigue
Traditional motion detection generates hundreds of false alerts daily
Impact: Operators ignore alerts, real threats get lost in noise
Inconsistent Coverage
Coverage quality varies by shift, operator experience, and attention
Impact: Security gaps during shift changes, overnight, and weekends
Slow Forensic Review
Finding specific incidents in recorded footage takes hours
Impact: Delayed investigations, incomplete incident documentation
Implementation Steps
Mixpeek analyzes all camera feeds in parallel using computer vision to detect threats (intrusions, loitering, abandoned objects), learns normal patterns for each location, and alerts operators only on genuine anomalies
Connect Camera Network
Integrate Mixpeek with your existing VMS or cameras
import { Mixpeek } from 'mixpeek';const client = new Mixpeek({ apiKey: process.env.MIXPEEK_API_KEY });// Connect to camera feedsawait client.integrations.connect({type: 'vms',platform: 'milestone', // or genetec, avigilon, etc.server_url: 'https://vms.facility.com',credentials: {username: process.env.VMS_USER,password: process.env.VMS_PASS}});
Configure Threat Detection
Define detection rules for your security requirements
// Configure threat detectionconst securityConfig = {detections: [{ type: 'intrusion', zones: ['perimeter', 'restricted_area'] },{ type: 'loitering', threshold_seconds: 60 },{ type: 'abandoned_object', threshold_seconds: 120 },{ type: 'crowd_formation', threshold_count: 10 },{ type: 'vehicle_intrusion', zones: ['pedestrian_area'] }],alert_routing: {critical: ['sms', 'email', 'vms_popup'],warning: ['vms_popup', 'dashboard']}};await client.workflows.create({name: 'Facility Security',config: securityConfig});
Train on Normal Patterns
Let the system learn what normal activity looks like
// Start baseline learningawait client.baseline.start({collection_id: 'facility-cameras',duration_days: 14,exclude_times: ['02:00-05:00'], // Exclude quiet periodsfeedback_enabled: true});// Monitor learning progressconst status = await client.baseline.status('facility-cameras');console.log(`Learning progress: ${status.completion_percent}%`);console.log(`Patterns identified: ${status.pattern_count}`);
Set Up Alert Dashboard
Create real-time monitoring interface for operators
// Real-time alert subscriptionconst alertStream = await client.alerts.subscribe({collection_id: 'facility-cameras',severity: ['critical', 'warning']});alertStream.on('alert', (alert) => {console.log(`Alert: ${alert.type} at ${alert.camera_name}`);console.log(`Confidence: ${alert.confidence}`);console.log(`Video clip: ${alert.clip_url}`);// Route to operator dashboardnotifyOperator(alert);});
