“The Future of Video Analytics”: AvidBeam Brings AvidGenAI to STC Solutions Webinar on April 29

AvidBeam is set to host a live webinar on Wednesday, April 29th, bringing together two senior voices from the AI and video analytics space for a session that covers where the field has been, where it stands today, and what GenAI is opening up across real-world applications.

The session (titled “The Future of Video Analytics”) will feature Eslam Ahmed, Senior Staff Software Engineer at AvidBeam, alongside the AI & Data Director from solutions by STC, and the two will walk through:

1. The evolution of video analytics as a discipline
2. The technical and commercial inflection point that Generative AI represents right now
3. The specific capabilities that AvidBeam‘s AvidGenAI product brings to the table

What AvidGenAI Does Across the Platform

1. AvidGenAI translates video footage into natural-language text and produces human-readable descriptions of what is happening in each monitored zone.
2. Enables two-way conversational interaction with AvidBeam‘s full software suite (operators can ask questions in plain language and receive contextual answers tied to specific timestamps and locations).
3. Supports faster post-incident investigation by reducing the time between detection and response from hours of manual footage review to a single query response.
4. Generates KPIs and structured insight reports from video observations.
5. Runs across all AvidBeam product suites (AvidGuard, AvidFace, AvidAuto, AvidSight), pulling detection outputs from each into a single query able intelligence layer.

AvidGenAI Use Cases

Example of what AvidGenAI can do across common use cases:

Retail Insights

In retail environments, AvidSight (one of AvidBeam’s video analytical solutions) continuously monitors how customers and staff interact within malls and commercial venues. It interprets customer behavior, tracks movement patterns and dwell times across zones, and monitors staff presence and responsiveness at key service points, all in real time without anyone reviewing video manually. Deploying AvidGenAI transforms retail operations by enabling contextual, real-time conversations with your environment. Operators can query live scenes and receive instant, descriptive insights—answering critical questions like “What is the staff currently focused on?” or “Describe the customer flow through the store layout.”

Structural Compliance

Operators can instantly query live footage to verify adherence to safety standards, asking specific questions such as “Are the load-bearing supports aligned with the blueprint?” or “Describe any visible degradation in the concrete reinforcement.”

Urban Safety

AvidGenAI extends video intelligence to the broader city environment, such as streets, expressways, alleys, public spaces, and transport corridors. Operators can instantly assess public spaces with prompts like “Identify any unauthorized vehicles in the pedestrian zone” or “Describe the crowd density near the transport corridor entrance.”

Together, these three use cases show what distinguishes AvidGenAI from every other module in the platform: it explains and responds. For operations teams managing large environments across multiple zones, that distinction is the difference between a surveillance archive and an active intelligence system.

AvidBeam and STC Partnership in Saudi Arabia

AvidBeam‘s video analytics platform has reached environments where the operational stakes, security, compliance, and real-time decision-making are non-negotiable requirements.

The partnership between AvidBeam and STC brings together AvidBeam‘s server-based AI video analytics depth and solutions with stc’s infrastructure reach and enterprise relationships across the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

The practical outcome of that collaboration is visible in projects like STC Sawaher, where AvidFace, AvidGuard, and AvidAuto ran in parallel inside a centralized operations view, a deployment that required both the analytics capability AvidBeam provides and the infrastructure and integration layer that STC brings to enterprise environments in KSA.
