1. A video analytics system for real-time monitoring and assessment of airplane ramp safety processes, the video analytics system comprising:
a computer memory storing rules relating to the airplane ramp safety processes;
at least two portable, video capture devices located at different predetermined positions with respect to an aircraft at an airport ramp, wherein the video capture devices include a wireless transmitter and are configured to:
capture video and data related to positions and movements of objects relative to the aircraft at the airport ramp and positions and movements of individuals relative to the aircraft at the airport ramp; and
transmit captured video footage and data via a wireless network to a server; and
