Our Expertise: Over 35 Years of UK-Based Embedded Computing
At BVM, we bring over 35 years of experience to the design, manufacture, and distribution of industrial computing systems optimized for CCTV, security surveillance, and real-time object recognition. Operating from our UK-based facilities, we act as a trusted partner for OEMs and security systems integrators worldwide, delivering computing platforms engineered for continuous, high-performance video capture and intelligent edge analysis.
What We Offer OEMs, ODMs, and System Integrators
From our design and manufacturing facility in Southampton, BVM offers a reliable, UK-managed supply chain for security and surveillance deployments. We provide a comprehensive range of off-the-shelf Network Video Recorders (NVRs), GPU-accelerated edge AI systems, and rugged surveillance gateways. Our local team configures, tests, and integrates these systems with specialized features – such as multi-port PoE/PoE+ camera inputs, high-capacity surveillance-grade storage, and dedicated neural accelerators – to meet your specific real-time analytics and monitoring specifications.
Bespoke Engineering and Prototyping
When standard platforms lack the thermal capacity to sustain high-power GPU workloads, present insufficient I/O for multiple IP camera streams, or cannot fit into specialized physical spaces, our Southampton-based team can design a custom hardware solution from the ground up. By keeping design, assembly, and testing within the UK, we provide direct engineering collaboration, rapid prototyping, and close control over custom carrier board layouts and specialized cooling systems. This ensures your surveillance and object recognition platforms operate reliably under high, continuous workloads while maintaining long-term lifecycle stability.
If you can’t find an “off the shelf” product that suits your needs, our in-house design team can create a new solution from scratch.
CCTV, Surveillance and Object Recognition Computer: Case Studies
CCTV
The specific hardware needed for a CCTV system will depend on the type and size of the system, but common components include:
- Cameras: The primary component of a CCTV system and can vary in terms of resolution, lens type and other features.
- Video Recorders: Will store the footage captured by the cameras. It can either be a Digital Video Recorder (DVR) or a Network Video Recorder (NVR).
- Networking Equipment: Enable the CCTV system to be accessed remotely and to transfer data over the network. This can include routers, switches and video encoders.
- Industrial PC: A rugged version of a regular PC, specifically designed for industrial environments.
- Monitors: Used to view the live footage from the cameras and to play back recorded footage.
Surveillance
The specific hardware needed for a surveillance system will depend on the type and size of the system, but common components include:
- Cameras: The core of a CCTV system, varying in resolution, lens type and features.
- Video Recorders: Store footage from cameras, such as a Digital Video Recorder (DVR) or a Network Video Recorder (NVR).
- Industrial PC: A rugged PC designed for industrial use.
- More durable and resistant to dust, water, vibration, and temperature changes.
- Acts as the surveillance system’s brain, running software to process and analyze footage.
- Networking Equipment: Enable remote access and data transfer for the CCTV system, including routers, switches, and video encoders.
- Power Supply: Supply AC or DC power to cameras and components.
- Monitors: View live and recorded footage from cameras.
- Additional Devices: May include keyboard, mouse, and other input devices.
Additionally, surveillance systems may also require specialised hardware such as GPS tracking devices, RFID readers and biometric scanners.
Object Recognition
The specific hardware needed for an object recognition system will depend on the type and size of the system, but common components include:
- Camera or video source: Captures images or videos for analysis.
- Industrial PC: A rugged PC for industrial environments.
- More durable and resistant to dust, water, vibration, and temperature changes.
- Runs software to process and analyze footage.
- Networking: Enables communication between the object recognition system, cameras, servers, and databases.
- Processor: Runs the object recognition software and performs calculations.
- This can be a CPU, GPU, or TPU.
- Memory: Stores data and intermediate results for the software.
- Storage: Holds image or video data and models used by the software.
It’s important to note that these are general components and the hardware used in object recognition will vary depending on the scope of the project and the algorithms used. Some systems may also require additional hardware such as specialised sensors or cameras with specific capabilities.
CCTV, Surveillance and Object Recognition: Examples
- Industrial computers enhance CCTV and surveillance with advanced analytics software, enabling real-time footage analysis to detect threats through motion, facial, and license plate recognition.
- They enable remote monitoring, giving security personnel the ability to manage CCTV systems over the internet, including live viewing and camera adjustments.
- Through intelligent video analytics, industrial computers apply machine learning for object and individual identification, aiding in security and traffic control.
- These computers assist in monitoring industrial processes, utilizing video analysis for early problem detection and equipment inspection.
- Integration with access and intrusion detection systems forms a layered security network that identifies and manages breaches more efficiently.
- For applications like people counting, they use computer vision to track foot traffic, optimizing resources like retail staffing.
