The blind spot
You're pricing space on assumptions about how it's used.
Leasing, amenity investment and operating budgets depend on how buildings are used, hour by hour. Badge swipes miss visitors, tailgaters and anyone in the garage; surveys are months old, and decisions worth millions are made from them.
Utilization is a guess
Badge counts miss visitors and shared entries, and say nothing about the garage, the plaza or the amenity floor.
Amenities are judged by anecdote
The fitness center or conference floor that tenants say they want may sit empty most of the day.
Operations run on fixed schedules
Cleaning, security and loading dock staffing follow a fixed timetable that may not match when the building is busy.
What VideoBI measures
Every camera becomes a source of data.
An edge device on site reads the cameras and writes readings for the zones that matter. The video stays in the building.

Performance
Where measurement raises revenue and lowers costs.
Revenue up
Price and lease with evidence
Measured occupancy and foot traffic by building, floor and hour support rents and renewals.
Monetize parking
Occupancy by level and hour shows where to sell monthly permits, transient parking or event rates.
Invest in amenities tenants use
Use by hour and day shows which amenities earn their space, and which to repurpose.
Show tenants their building works
Portfolio evidence of return-to-office trends, for leasing and marketing.
Costs down
Schedule cleaning and security to use
Staff to measured occupancy by floor and hour.
Run the dock on data
Bay occupancy and dwell show when a dock master or scheduling pays for itself.
Catch after-hours activity
Doors, docks and garages active outside operating hours, with the still to prove it.
Right-size capital projects
Lobby, elevator and garage upgrades sized from measured peaks.
Every level of the organization
Dashboards for executives, managers and frontline teams.
Each role sees the same governed numbers, arranged for the decisions it makes.
Executives · Decide
How every asset is used, compared across the portfolio.
- Occupancy and traffic by building, against last year
- Parking and amenity use behind leasing and capital plans
- Evidence for lenders, investors and tenants
Example
Portfolio occupancy, Tuesday to Thursday peak
Building A leads, Building C trails its submarket
Garage level 3 unused before 11 am, all quarter
Managers · Operate
How each building ran this week, and what to adjust.
- Peak hours by entrance, floor and amenity
- Loading dock and garage use against capacity
- After-hours activity to review
Example
Lobby peak moved from 8:45 to 9:30
Dock bay 2 blocked 3 hours on Wednesday
Two after-hours entries at the service door
Frontline · Act
What needs attention in the building right now.
- A loading zone blocked past its limit
- A garage level full, with where to send drivers
- An entrance busy enough to open a second lane
Example
Loading zone B: blocked 25 min
Garage level 1 full · level 3 has space
Lobby turnstiles: queue building
Ask
Questions answered from your cameras.
Ask VideoBI in plain language. It investigates across every site and answers with the numbers and the evidence behind them.
- “Which of our buildings are used least on Mondays and Fridays, and by how much?”
- “Is the new amenity floor used enough to justify its space?”
- “How much of the garage could we sell as monthly permits?”
- “Which buildings need a dock master, and when?”
Which of our buildings are used least on Mondays and Fridays, and by how much?
Ask answers from your own sites' readings: the measured numbers, the sites and hours behind them, and what the cameras can't see.

The return
What the system saves, and the decisions it informs.
Recoverable dollars are counted week by week and pay for the system. Decisions about capital, leases and operating models made with the same evidence affect results for years.
The arithmetic
What you price with your own numbers
- Parking
- unused stalls by hour × your transient or permit rate
- Operations
- cleaning and security hours moved to measured use × your hourly cost
- Space
- amenity or common floors used below a threshold × rent per square foot
Early access: we set up each measure with you, on your buildings and your rates.
The decisions
What the evidence changes
- Renew, reposition or sell an assetBased on the measured use of every building.
- Invest in amenitiesBuild what tenants use and repurpose the rest.
- Plan garage and dock capitalSized from measured peaks.
- Set operating budgetsCleaning, security and energy scheduled to how the building is used.
