Intelligent video surveillance to secure and supervise your multi-site organisation
Video surveillance is no longer limited to recording. Today, a camera analyses, detects, alerts and predicts in real time. ANAVEO designs and deploys intelligent video surveillance for businesses across France for more than 30 years, on its INNOVEO platform, 100% Made in France.
Traditional CCTV records passively. Intelligent video surveillance relies on AI Agents, algorithms trained on neural networks, that automatically analyse every video stream 24/7, with no human fatigue. At ANAVEO, this intelligence runs on INNOVEO, a hybrid Edge and Cloud platform, designed and hosted in France, with built-in cybersecurity (MFA, SSO, encrypted streams).
Certified APSAD P5, R81, R82, D32, the ANAVEO group supports retailers, industrial sites, healthcare facilities and local authorities in turning their cameras into real operational management tools.
- Detect suspicious behaviour before an incident happens (predictive analytics)
- Identify abandoned objects, line crossings or intrusions in sensitive zones
- Reduce false positives dramatically thanks to AI + operator dual confirmation
- Operate all your cameras from a unified, multi-site and multi-view interface
- Leverage video data as a business performance tool (customer flows, queues, logistics)
Five challenges that make traditional video surveillance obsolete
Before getting into intelligent video surveillance in practice, here are the five structural issues shared by security, operations and IT directors of multi-site organisations, that traditional video surveillance no longer addresses.
Complex multi-site management
Viewing and supervising several locations from a central point, without multiplying local infrastructure. A 20+ site network becomes unmanageable with heterogeneous systems.
Alarm overload
A poorly configured system generates up to 80% false positives, exhausting security teams. AI + operator dual confirmation removes that noise so only real threats are handled.
Reactive vs proactive security
Reviewing footage after an incident does not prevent recurrence. AI anticipates abnormal behaviour before it escalates and enables real-time action.
GDPR and CNIL compliance
Processing video footage in a business is strictly regulated in France: maximum 30-day retention, mandatory informative signage, DPIA when high-risk processing applies. ANAVEO embeds these requirements by design.
Equipment obsolescence
An ageing camera estate creates blind spots and security flaws. APSAD preventive maintenance from ANAVEO helps secure the estate, identify cameras to upgrade or replace, and unlock Edge AI agents.
INNOVEO, an Edge and sovereign Cloud architecture, designed and hosted in France
INNOVEO is ANAVEO’s proprietary intelligent video surveillance platform. It is the only 100% Made in France unified system that brings video surveillance, access control and intrusion detection together in a single interface.
Edge Computing
Data processed directly on site (local server) for minimal latency and service continuity even during a network outage. AI Agents run as close as possible to the cameras.
Sovereign French Cloud
Secure storage hosted in France (EU-redundant), encrypted remote access, off-site backup (CloudTracker) to preserve evidence even if the NVR is stolen. GDPR and NIS2 compliant.
Native AI Agents
Proprietary algorithms trained for retail, industry, healthcare and tertiary use cases. More than 60 Smart Apps available across the INNOVEO ecosystem.
INNOVEO Experience, the remote experience
A multi-platform application (PC, mobile, tablet) to manage security from anywhere.
- Multi-view and multi-site, up to 30,000 access points on a single interface

Intelligent video surveillance compliance, what the French law requires
Intelligent video surveillance in a French business is strictly regulated by several texts: APSAD standards, GDPR and CNIL deliberations, the French Internal Security Code, the French Labour Code, and the recent 2023-2025 framework on algorithmic video surveillance (AVS).
| Regulation | Scope | ANAVEO response |
|---|---|---|
| APSAD reference standards (P5, R81, R82, D32) | CCTV installation and maintenance (P5), intrusion detection panel (R81), alarm reception panel (R82), electronic cybersecurity (D32) | ANAVEO certified across all four standards, the highest market level in France. See our guide understanding APSAD certifications |
| GDPR and CNIL deliberations | Video surveillance of staff, notice, maximum 30-day retention, DPIA if high-risk processing | Natively compliant configuration, processing register, configurable retention and access rights. See our guide video surveillance and employer rules |
| French Internal Security Code (art. L223 and following) | Video protection in public-facing areas, prefectural authorisations, smart video | Upstream consulting on purposes and scope. See our guide smart video protection and GDPR framework |
| French Labour Code (art. L1121-1, L1222-4) | Prior information of staff and works council (CSE) before rollout | CSE documentation templates provided, support for the bilateral consultation |
| AVS Act (algorithmic video surveillance) | Experiment launched for the 2024 Olympics (Act no. 2023-380 of 19 May 2023 art. 10), extended until March 2027 for limited public use. In private businesses, AI behavioural analytics remains permitted under strict GDPR | Continuous legal watch, configuration aligned to declared purposes, systematic DPIA for high-risk processing |
| NIS2 Directive | Cybersecurity for essential and important entities (electronic security among the 18 critical sectors) | INNOVEO platform, sovereign hosting in France, reinforced Zero Trust access controls. See video protection vs video surveillance |

Everything about intelligent video surveillance in eight questions
What is the difference between traditional and intelligent video surveillance?
Traditional video surveillance records footage passively. Intelligent video surveillance integrates AI algorithms (Computer Vision, neural networks) that analyse the streams in real time to automatically detect anomalies, suspicious behaviour or intrusions, with no permanent human intervention.
Is intelligent video surveillance GDPR-compliant in France?
Yes, provided the deployment respects CNIL obligations: informative signage, system declaration, maximum 30-day retention, appointment of a DPO when required, mandatory DPIA if the processing presents a high risk. ANAVEO embeds these requirements by design in every solution.
Can I manage multiple sites from a single interface?
Yes. The INNOVEO platform is built for multi-site management: all your cameras, alerts and statistics are centralised on a single interface, accessible from PC, mobile or tablet through INNOVEO Experience. Up to 30,000 access points supervised simultaneously.
What are the typical lead times for an ANAVEO video surveillance install?
Depending on the project size, a single-site install can be completed in 1 to 5 business days. For a multi-site estate, the typical progressive rollout runs over 6 to 9 months following the ANAVEO method (audit, pilot demo, switchover, optimisation). 600 experts spread across 15 agencies cover the entire French territory.
How much does an intelligent video surveillance system cost for a business?
The cost depends on the number of sites, the camera estate, the Smart Apps activated and the chosen economic model (CAPEX purchase or monthly OPEX subscription). ANAVEO offers an all-inclusive OPEX model (hardware, preventive and corrective maintenance, APSAD P5 remote monitoring, INNOVEO updates) and tailors pricing to estate size, from SMBs to multi-site groups. A free ANAVEO audit produces a costed quote within 5 business days.
Which APSAD certifications apply to professional video surveillance?
ANAVEO is certified APSAD P5 (CCTV installation and maintenance, highest level), R81 (intrusion detection panel), R82 (alarm reception and processing panel), and D32 (electronic cybersecurity). For more, read our guide Understanding APSAD certifications (in French).
Is INNOVEO compatible with my existing cameras?
Yes in most cases. INNOVEO supports IP ONVIF cameras from major manufacturers. A preliminary technical audit identifies compatible cameras, those needing firmware updates and those to be replaced to unlock Edge AI Agents. The rollout can be progressive, site by site, without starting the estate from scratch.
What does the 2025 French law say about algorithmic video surveillance (AVS) in private businesses?
The AVS experiment launched for the 2024 Olympics (Act no. 2023-380 of 19 May 2023, art. 10) was extended until March 2027 for limited public use cases. In private businesses, AI behavioural analytics has been allowed since 2017, provided GDPR is respected (legal basis, purpose, proportionality), a DPIA is conducted for high-risk processing, and the works council (CSE) and staff are informed beforehand.
