ROI calculator
What would AI CCTV actually give back?
Security is a hard thing to justify, because the benefit is an absence — the theft that didn’t happen, the queue that didn’t form. This turns that into a number you can check. Enter your own figures and it shows what PGAK recovers each month, the month it pays for itself, and what you keep after a year.
It is built to under-promise. The conservative setting loads by default, three genuine savings are left out entirely, and if your numbers don’t add up to a return it says so and hides the chart rather than tuning the answer.
What would PGAK actually give back?
Put in your own numbers. Everything runs in your browser — nothing reaches us until you press the WhatsApp button.
Raw material, tools and scrap that leave without paperwork.
Only count a posting that exists purely to watch, not to intervene.
How optimistic should this be?
Conservative throughout. This is what loads by default, deliberately.

How this was worked out
- Time at the gate — 8 minutes a day per person of loose timing, of which we count 40% as genuinely recovered: ₹14,400
- Proxy punching — 0.4% of payroll, which a face at the gate removes structurally: ₹8,640
- Your stated loss — we count 15% of the ₹40,000 you entered, not all of it: ₹6,000
- Admin time — 12 hours a month on registers, payroll and hunting through footage, 50% recovered at ₹250/hour: ₹1,550
What this deliberately leaves out
- The biometric machines and AMC you no longer buy.
- Faster insurance and police paperwork.
- Customers your staff missed.
All real. All left out.
PGAK detects, records and reports. It cannot guarantee a rupee is recovered, and it does not replace a guard who physically intervenes. Every figure above is an estimate built from the numbers you entered.
About these numbers
How accurate is this ROI calculator?
It is an estimate built entirely from numbers you enter, and it is deliberately conservative — the 'Careful' setting loads by default and discounts every line. We count only a fraction of the loss you state rather than all of it. If the result looks too good, switch to Careful and check the 'How this was worked out' section, which shows every percentage being applied.
What does the calculator deliberately leave out?
Three real savings we don't count: the biometric machines and AMC you no longer buy, faster insurance and police paperwork, and customers your staff missed while distracted. Leaving them out is what makes the remaining numbers defensible.
Does PGAK guarantee these savings?
No. PGAK detects, records and reports — it cannot guarantee a rupee is recovered, and it does not replace a guard who physically intervenes. The calculator estimates what better information makes possible, not a promised outcome.
What price does the calculator use?
The published rate of ₹1,000 per camera per month, the same figure on our pricing page. If you already hold a quote, open 'Fine-tune the assumptions' and enter your own price — the ROI shown then becomes yours rather than ours.
Is anything I type here sent to PGAK?
No. Everything runs in your browser. Nothing reaches us unless you press the WhatsApp button, which opens a chat with your result pre-filled so you can decide whether to send it.
An estimate is not a quote.
Send us your camera layout and we’ll tell you which cameras are worth making intelligent and which aren’t — then the numbers above stop being an estimate.
