Project Intro

AI Camera Security & ERP Monitoring System

An AI-powered monitoring platform that connects real-world camera data with ERP records, helping companies detect inventory gaps, safety risks, abnormal operations, and security issues earlier.

The system combines camera streams, image recognition, AI visual analysis, ERP API integration, comparison rules, automatic alerts, and administrator review into one practical business monitoring workflow.

Who We Are

We are Flash Coding, a Toronto-based software and AI development team focused on practical business automation. We build systems that connect websites, internal platforms, ERP software, AI tools, and real operational workflows for warehouses, e-commerce, logistics, construction, restaurants, education, and other business environments.

Why Us

Four practical capabilities make this project realistic and business-ready.

01

Business System Integration

We understand ERP, inventory, order, warehouse, and operational systems, so camera results can be compared with real business records instead of only displaying footage.

02

AI Vision And Automation

We combine object detection, OCR, AI image reading, rule engines, and automated reporting to turn raw visual data into structured business information.

03

Workflow-First Design

The platform is shaped around receiving, shipping, inventory checking, safety inspection, access monitoring, equipment reading, and exception handling.

04

Custom Development

Every company has different ERP fields, camera locations, warehouse layouts, alert rules, and approval processes. The system can be configured around the real operation.

Pain Points

Many companies already have cameras, but most cameras only record what happened. They do not understand the business meaning behind the video.

01

Cameras Record, But Do Not Verify

Traditional CCTV systems store footage, but they cannot automatically check whether goods, people, vehicles, or equipment match company records.

02

ERP Data May Not Match Reality

Inventory, shipping, receiving, and equipment records can become inaccurate when manual work is delayed, skipped, or entered incorrectly.

03

Problems Are Found Too Late

Missing goods, incorrect shipments, unauthorized access, unsafe behaviour, and abnormal equipment status are often discovered after the damage has happened.

04

Manual Checking Is Slow

Staff may need to review footage, count items, compare documents, and write reports manually, which is time-consuming and inconsistent.

Solution

An AI camera monitoring platform that reads the site image, compares it with ERP data, and sends alerts when differences or risks are detected.

1

AI Camera Recognition

Identify people, vehicles, boxes, pallets, products, labels, shelves, safety equipment, abnormal behaviour, smoke, fire, water leakage, and visible equipment status.

2

AI Image Reading

For complex scenes, AI generates structured findings such as camera location, detected issue, visible evidence, and suggested action for staff review.

3

ERP API Integration

Retrieve inventory quantity, warehouse location, inbound orders, outbound orders, purchase orders, sales orders, production orders, equipment records, and SKU data.

4

Difference Detection Rules

Configurable rules decide whether a difference is acceptable or needs attention, with severity levels such as Low, Medium, High, and Critical.

5

Automatic Alert Reports

Each alert can include type, location, event time, AI result, ERP comparison, difference value, severity, screenshot evidence, explanation, and status.

6

Email Notification

Responsible administrators receive email alerts with the event summary, camera ID, ERP quantity, AI detected quantity, difference, and next review step.

Audience

Warehouse Managers
Core Need

Reduce inventory differences.

Platform Value

Compare stock, shelf status, receiving, and shipping activity with ERP records.

Operations Managers
Core Need

See multi-site exceptions faster.

Platform Value

Receive structured alerts, exception reports, and daily operational summaries.

Business Owners
Core Need

Improve accountability.

Platform Value

Turn passive surveillance cameras into active business monitoring tools.

Safety Managers
Core Need

Detect unsafe behaviour earlier.

Platform Value

Monitor PPE, restricted areas, abnormal movement, falls, smoke, fire, and equipment warnings.

IT / ERP Teams
Core Need

Connect cameras with existing systems.

Platform Value

Use APIs to compare AI recognition with ERP, WMS, inventory, order, and equipment records.

Key Use Cases

Inventory Verification

AI identifies products, boxes, pallets, and shelf status, then compares the result with ERP inventory records.

Receiving And Shipping Check

AI checks whether loaded or unloaded goods match purchase orders, sales orders, or delivery orders.

Restricted Area Monitoring

AI detects people entering sensitive areas and compares the event with schedules or access permissions.

Safety Compliance

AI checks whether workers are wearing helmets, reflective vests, or other required safety equipment.

Equipment Status Monitoring

AI reads screens, warning lights, gauges, or visible abnormal conditions and generates alerts.

Daily Operation Report

The system summarizes daily alerts, camera activity, unresolved issues, and confirmed problems.
