Surveillance & Object Recognition

Computing Solutions For Surveillance & Object Recognition

Steatite products go beyond standard surveillance, adding the capability to leverage Deep Learning and AI to turn cameras and video equipment into smart vision systems.

Our range includes network video recorders (NVR) for use in transport systems, video playback systems for use in CCTV control rooms, and small, AI systems & accelerators offering real-time visual inference for facial recognition.

All our products are built to withstand high levels of shock, vibration, dust and water ingress, and operate through wide temperature ranges, making them ideal for demanding environments such track and roadside or the factory floor.

Solutions for public transport CCTV applications

As CCTV systems are increasingly deployed in harsh and demanding environments, choosing an NVR that delivers long-term reliability is more important than ever. Our industrial PC-based NVRs are engineered to withstand extreme temperatures, shock and vibration, ensuring dependable performance wherever they’re installed.

For public transport applications, we offer fanless industrial PCs and touchscreen computers certified to EN50155 for rail and E-mark standards for in-vehicle use. With features including M12 Ethernet, 4G/LTE connectivity, ignition control, PoE, CAN bus, GPS/GNSS and accelerometers, these systems provide a robust platform for transport CCTV and surveillance applications.

AI inference computers for edge applications

For AI-powered video analytics at the edge, our rugged computing platforms support NVIDIA Jetson, NVIDIA GPUs, Intel Movidius and Intel Arria FPGA accelerators, alongside leading AI frameworks including TensorFlow, Caffe and OpenVINO. This provides the flexibility to deploy advanced inference workloads in challenging environments without compromising reliability.

We also offer cost-effective customisation and branding services with low minimum order quantities. From bespoke enclosures to branded packaging, we can help you create a solution that looks and feels like a purpose-built product while reinforcing your brand identity.

Built and tested to work reliably, 24 hours a day

Reliability is built into every system we produce. Our engineers carefully select high-quality industrial components and follow rigorous build and testing procedures, giving you confidence that every solution will perform reliably from day one and continue operating around the clock for years to come.

Performance is equally important. Our systems support hardware-accelerated H.264, H.265 and other video codecs, significantly improving video playback, encoding and transcoding efficiency compared with software-only solutions. The result is higher throughput, lower power consumption, and reduced capital and operational costs.

To support long-term deployments, we carefully source components from trusted technology partners, allowing many of our systems to remain in production for up to 15 years. This extended product availability simplifies maintenance, reduces redesign requirements and helps minimise both development and lifecycle costs.
