Video anomaly detection is the use of AI to automatically identify events that deviate from normal patterns in surveillance footage things like unusual movement, unexpected people in restricted areas, or behaviour that doesn't fit the typical activity of a location.
Unlike traditional rule-based video analytics, which trigger alerts when predefined conditions are met (motion in a zone, an object crossing a line), anomaly detection learns what normal looks like for your specific environment and flags what falls outside it.
The result is far fewer false alarms and far more meaningful alerts. icetana AI has been trained on over 700 million hours of real-world surveillance footage, giving it a depth of understanding that rule-based systems simply can't match.
Security teams are asked to monitor more cameras than any human can effectively watch. The average security operations centre generates thousands of alerts per week. Studies consistently put the false positive rate for traditional CCTV analytics between 70 and 90 percent.
The result: operators spend most of their shift investigating alerts that turn out to be nothing. Attention degrades. Real incidents get missed. And the more cameras you add to the network, the worse the problem becomes. Adding staff is expensive and doesn't scale. Configuring rules for every camera is time-consuming and breaks every time the environment changes. There has to be a better way.
icetana AI doesn't work from a list of rules. It works from an understanding of your environment.
When icetana is deployed, it begins learning what normal looks like for each camera on your network, the typical patterns of movement, the expected flow of people and vehicles, the activity that's routine for your site at any given time of day.
Within 24 hours it begins sending events. Within one week it has a detailed baseline for your entire environment. From that point, it monitors continuously and surfaces only the footage that deviates from normal. Not motion. Not objects crossing lines. Genuine anomalies, events that are unusual given everything the AI knows about your site.

After more than a decade working on the development of AI anomaly detection software, icetana AI knows that AI based software can have a large improvement on security surveillance performance. Better outcomes have been achieved by security teams in the field and those monitoring cameras when they work with the icetana AI anomaly detection platform.
icetana integrates directly with your current CCTV network and VMS platform. There's no need to replace cameras or overhaul existing systems. Setup is straightforward and guided by our team.
Compatible with: Genetec | Milestone XProtect
Using machine learning, icetana builds a unique behavioural baseline for every camera on your network. It learns the patterns, rhythms, and typical activity of your environment without any manual configuration, rule-setting, or ongoing tuning required.
Routine footage stays in the background. When something genuinely unusual occurs: a person in an area they shouldn't be, an object left unattended, movement at an unexpected hour.
icetana flags it immediately and presents it to your operators with full context. The more footage icetana processes, the more accurate it becomes. No updates required.
icetana's anomaly detection is not limited to a predefined list of events. Because it learns your environment, it can identify a wide range of unusual activity that rule-based systems would miss. Common detections include:
Industries
Campus
Curtin University
As an existing customer for nearly a decade at Curtin University, we faced the challenge of an expanding CCTV network that couldn’t be constantly monitored. icetana seamlessly filled this monitoring gap. Its versatility in monitoring vast areas on our campus is unparalleled.
