In 2025, video surveillance is becoming smarter, more convenient, and secure. Xeoma’s developers have analyzed the key trends and directions shaping the industry. In this article, we’ll dive into each trend in detail and explore how the capabilities of Xeoma video surveillance software can keep you ahead of the curve today.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming the standard for video surveillance in 2025. It transforms cameras into analytical tools that recognize objects, people, and situations in real-time. Xeoma already offers powerful AI modules that can be customized to your needs, including, but not limited to:

• Face Recognition: identify who enters premises or set up face-based access control. Perfect for offices, warehouses, or homes.
• License Plate Recognition: monitor parking lot access or record violations. The module works even with non-standard plates.
• Object Detector: locate lost items, identify animals, or detect suspicious objects.
• Emotion Detector: gauge people’s moods — useful for retail or waiting areas.
• Sound Event Detector: detect events outside the camera’s field of view, such as breaking glass, car alarms, a child’s cry, screams, or gunshots.

Predictive analytics enables systems to forecast events based on data, allowing you to prevent issues before they arise. Xeoma implements this through modules like:

• Crowd Detector: get alerts if too many people gather in a camera’s view, such as in a store or at an entrance.
• Smoke Detector: quickly detect fires to prevent emergencies or losses.
• Motion Detector: receive notifications about unusual movements during off-hours.
• Loitering Detector: get alerts about suspicious behavior in the frame.
• Visitor Counter: analyze real-time traffic and get occupancy forecasts.

These tools help you not only react but also plan proactively. Find a clear setup guide in this article.

Cloud solutions are gaining popularity due to their convenience and flexibility. With Xeoma Cloud, you can:

• View camera feeds from anywhere in the world on any device (computer, tablet, smartphone).
• Store archives in the cloud to save space on your devices.
• Manage the system remotely, such as adjusting settings or adding new cameras.
• Save on hardware costs by eliminating the need for expensive servers.

Note that Xeoma Cloud offers fewer features by default than the version for local use, though AI modules can be added.

With the rise in cyberattacks, data protection is a top priority. In 2025, video surveillance systems must be both smart and secure. Xeoma offers:

• Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): enable additional login verification via email.
• Password Protection: set different access levels for users.
• IP Whitelisting: prevent connections from unknown devices.

These features are crucial for large systems. Learn more in the article “Artificial Intelligence to the rescue: how video analytics helps solve business tasks”.

The Internet of Things (IoT) and smart cities require cameras to interact with other devices. Xeoma supports:

• HTTP Commands: connect cameras to smart locks, sensors, lighting, or access control systems.
• Sensor Integration: use GPIO pins to manage Smart Home systems.
• Application Runner: launch scripts, applications, or programs with macros when a module receives a signal.
• API: integrate video surveillance with third-party services, applications, or systems.
• JSON API: manage complex systems from a single interface.
• Automation scenarios: automate tasks across industries, from restaurants to airports.

This makes Xeoma ideal for homes, offices, or entire neighborhoods. Learn more in the article “Scalability of Xeoma CCTV system”.

Eco-friendly technologies benefit both the planet and your budget. Xeoma offers:

• Optimized performance with minimal resource usage.
• Compatibility with 99% of cameras and support for all major operating systems (Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS), enabling the use of low-power cameras and servers.

This is especially relevant for small businesses. Read more in the article “Xeoma for small enterprises”.

The trends of 2025 bring new possibilities for video surveillance, and Xeoma is ready to guide you through this world.
