Cognisight
See what matters, the moment it happens.
Cognisight applies AI-enabled analytics to video, sensor and intelligence data so teams can detect activity, identify patterns and surface the events that need operator attention.
What it does
System behaviour
Cognisight analyses video, sensor and intelligence data to detect activity, identify patterns and surface events that require operator attention. It can operate as a standalone analytics capability or feed enriched events into Consilium and other command environments. Inside Consilium, operators build AI workflows that chain detectors such as posture, weapon, aggression and fall detection to actions like logging an event or raising an alert, and assign them to camera feeds.
Position in the ecosystem: Deploy Cognisight standalone, or enrich Consilium and other command environments with prioritised events and insight.
Three principles
The principles behind Cognisight
Observant
Continuously analyse video and connected data for activity of interest, so nothing routine slips past unnoticed.
Contextual
Combine detections with time, location, source and operational information so each event carries meaning.
Actionable
Present prioritised events and evidence that operators can assess quickly and act on with confidence.
The challenge
Security and operational teams are surrounded by video feeds, sensor outputs and intelligence data, yet much of it still depends on continuous human monitoring.
Important activity can be missed, detected late or buried among routine events, while operators spend significant time reviewing footage and assembling context manually.
Operational value
Cognisight delivers:
- Reduced monitoring burden
- Earlier activity detection
- Faster video review
- Context-rich alerts
- Improved operator awareness
Cognisight moves teams from passive monitoring and retrospective review towards focused, intelligence-led operations, deployed standalone or feeding enriched events into Consilium and other command environments.
Architecture
How it works
Cognisight works in four steps, from ingest to act.
- 01IngestVideo, sensor and intelligence data
- 02DetectObjects, movement and events
- 03EnrichTime, location and context
- 04ActAlerts, search and workflow
Core capabilities
Four building blocks that turn continuous data into operator-ready insight
Video & Data Ingestion
Connect live or recorded video, sensor outputs and relevant intelligence sources.
AI-Enabled Detection
Identify configured objects, activity, movement patterns and events of interest.
Context & Event Enrichment
Add time, location, source and related operational information to each detection.
Search, Alerting & Workflow
Surface relevant events, support rapid review and route outputs into operator processes.
Solution in action
See Cognisight working
Cognisight lets operators build AI detection workflows and assign them to camera feeds inside Consilium. These screens come from an Espanaro demonstration environment.
Detections, thresholds and actions are configurable. Cognisight keeps the operator in control of assessment and response.

What Cognisight does
Core functions Cognisight delivers in operational environments.
Representative use cases
Where Cognisight makes the difference
Perimeter & Site Security
Detect movement, loitering, boundary activity and other configured events requiring attention.
Operational Surveillance
Focus operators on relevant activity across multiple live video and sensor feeds.
Rapid Video Review
Search event metadata and locate relevant footage without reviewing entire recordings.
Asset & Infrastructure Monitoring
Identify unusual activity around critical equipment, locations and restricted areas.
Incident Investigation
Bring together detections, supporting imagery and contextual data to accelerate assessment.
Trials & Evaluation
Assess analytics, camera coverage and operational concepts within controlled pilot environments.
Integration by design
Works with the systems you already run
Cognisight applies configurable AI-enabled analytics to identify activity of interest, enrich events with context and present usable outputs to operators, dashboards and command platforms such as Consilium.
| Integration area | Supported approach |
|---|---|
| Video & surveillance systems | Camera and video-management integration using interfaces including ONVIF and RTSP where applicable. |
| Sensor & operational data | Structured events, alerts and metadata from connected physical and digital systems. |
| Application interfaces | APIs and structured data formats including JSON and XML. |
| Message & event distribution | Event-driven and message-based integration patterns including MQTT and DDS. |
| Command & workflow systems | Outputs can be consumed by Consilium or integrated into third-party operational tooling. |
Deployment options
Deploy where the mission needs it
Edge / site
At the source
For analytics close to cameras, sensors and operational systems.
On-premises
In your network
For controlled networks, secure facilities and locally hosted operations.
Hybrid
Best of both
For distributed environments spanning local processing and central services.
Built for controlled environments
Assurance considerations
Data residency
Processing can be kept on your own infrastructure, supporting local control of sensitive data.
Configurable access
Deployment aligns to your network boundaries, security model and operational governance.
