What Security Essen 2026 told us about video analytics
At Security Essen, Monitoreal spoke with integrators, monitoring centres and distributors from across Europe. Here are three takeaways worth considering if you are choosing a video analytics solution.
- Retail is looking for operational analytics.
Retail scenarios drew the strongest interest. Video analytics is becoming an everyday operational tool, not only a security one.
Monitoreal runs retail analytics directly on the device: footfall, dwell time, queues, heat maps and customer paths. With Complex Scenarios, teams can build their own rules for alerts and automated actions.
- Privacy is no longer a feature. It is a requirement.
In key European markets, the question “Where is the data processed?” often comes up before “What does it cost?”. At the same time, we see growing interest in hybrid setups.
Monitoreal offers three deployment options: local, hybrid and cloud, each designed for different requirements. The solution is GDPR-compliant and Made in EU. The choice is yours.
- Your cameras are most likely already compatible.
Integrators working with multiple camera brands value solutions without vendor lock-in.
Monitoreal works with virtually any ONVIF/RTSP camera, so analytics can be added to existing infrastructure without replacing cameras.
