Integrating CCTV and IP Cameras with the Tiliter API for Real-Time Visual Intelligence

December 9, 2025

Organisations across logistics, industrial automation, retail, and innovative environments rely on cameras to monitor operations every day. But most CCTV and IP camera systems stop at basic recording. 

It takes time for the security and surveillance team to take action based on the recorded video footage or image. This change with Tiliter. 

Now, the organisation can get instant insights from CCTV and IP cameras by connecting them through their API. 

With a simple stream URL, you can run Vision Agents on your live feeds and automate the visual tasks that generally require manual oversight.

What Is Vision Stream?

Vision Stream is Tiliter’s real-time connector that lets you run Vision Agents directly on live IP and CCTV camera feeds.

It works with the stream formats your cameras already use:

Just plug in a stream link, and Vision Stream begins analysing live snapshots the moment they arrive. Everything runs over your existing network.

Why Integrate Your Cameras With Tiliter?

✔ Turn any camera into a visual automation tool

Automate checks, validations, and monitoring tasks instantly.

✔ No hardware changes required

Your current cameras stay in place. Vision Stream simply connects to them.

✔ Real-time AI insights

Where Vision Stream Fits: Key Industry Applications

Vision Stream is built to adapt to any environment where cameras are already in place. By turning live feeds into real-time visual intelligence, it helps teams automate inspections, track operations, and make faster decisions. 

Here is how different industries are using Vision Stream to improve accuracy, efficiency, and oversight.

Logistics

Live visual oversight ensures goods move correctly through the supply chain. Cameras can track pallet and trailer loads, verify stock levels, detect damage during handling, monitor dispatch zones, and highlight bottlenecks in high-traffic areas. This continuous visibility improves throughput and reduces costly manual errors.

Industrial Automation

Vision Stream delivers precision and consistency in production environments by monitoring assembly lines, verifying product quality, validating part presence and placement, and ensuring real-time safety compliance. These automated visual checks increase reliability, reduce downtime, and strengthen overall manufacturing performance.

Retail

Retail operations become more accurate and efficient with real-time visual insights. Vision Stream supports shelf monitoring, checkout assistance, mis-scanning reduction, shrinkage prevention, and improved visibility into backroom and stock movements. Vision AI helps retailers maintain high execution standards across every store.

Smart Environments

Smart facilities benefit from enhanced service quality and better spatial management. Cameras enable real-time footfall analysis, facility monitoring, cleanliness assessment, and continuous insight into occupancy and movement patterns. With Vision Stream, everyday cameras function as intelligent sensors that deliver actionable insights.

Powering Your CCTV and IP Cameras with Vision AI

CCTV and IP cameras already capture everything happening across your sites. Vision Stream turns your CCTV and IP cameras into powerful automation tools. It gives you instant visual intelligence without any hardware upgrades.
