Solutions from Xeoma:

Smart Motion Detector will automatically detect unwanted movement in a place of business in afterhours, or during the day time if particular territories should be free of people and motion. Anti-false-alarm mechanisms prevent reaction to objects and events that you’re not interested in. Combined with a rotating camera, it can ‘follow’ the moving object.

Various notifications (“Sending Email”, “SMS Sending” or even custom alarms) will keep you updated on peace disturbing events.

License plate recognition (ANPR) reads license plates in camera view, and is a great automated access control tool. For instance, it can be used to automatically open gates if there’s a car from the white list. Also, you can store logs with license plates of the cars that were operated on during the day/week/month to have a database with all necessary information. This module can be a part of the ‘Safe roads’ monitoring system and be combined with “Vehicle Speed Detector” (for detection of speeding vehicles), Cross-Line Detector (for detection of vehicles switching lanes improperly) or “HTTP Request Sender” (for integration with external systems or devices).

ANPR can be used in combination with the “Parking Spots” module that identifies availability of free or occupied spots in camera sight, thus can be a wonderful automated system for paid parking areas or for detection of illegal parking.

Face recognition is an AI-based module that can recognize faces of employees or customers, and store pictures in the database. This module can be used to automatically open doors or gates upon receiving a signal from the white list of the module, or notify authorized personnel if someone from a block list is detected. The double authentication feature compares a face in the camera frame to the user profile opened with an access card or a QR code so it can be employed for stricter access automation to restricted access offices.

Emotion recognition module can recognize emotions of your customers, so this way you will have information if they are satisfied with the customer service and improve customer service quality. Also helps get the general mood in the work collective, or detect a person with aggressive predisposition of spirits (and there can be one in a court house indeed) that can turn into a menace, and warn security service to keep an eye on them.

Object recognition is the multi-purpose module powered by contemporary neural networks that can tell apart people, animals, drones, birds, cars. It detect particular object types on and around the premises – sea birds around fish tanks, drones around airport and in private territory, trucks in cars-only parking lots, etc.

Crowd detector can automatically count people in camera’s field of view and recognize gatherings of people. One of its possible uses is to spot a queue long enough to start irritate customers to rapidly engage more checkouts or notify management.

HTTP marking (integration with POS or cash registers) is a module that can use cash register information about a sale and apply it on the video footage that Xeoma stores for later search. You can place a camera above the cash register and see all financial operations on the screens with date/time and name of the employee that is in charge.

Sound Event Detector will be triggered if there is a loud sound (sound of breaking glass or security alarm), which makes it a great tool to detect both break-ins and abnormal situations in medical care facilities or ‘Safe city’ programs.

Construction site safety is a health and safety protection tool that will detect if a worker doesn’t have a helmet or other protection gear on.

eMap interactive map shows all your cameras on your floor plan making it easier for security operators to watch dozens of cameras. Other tools for security operators

Computer vision-powered smoke and fire detection of Xeoma can be an addition to traditional smoke alarms triggered by CO2 sensors; however unlike offline systems it can also procure visual evidence of the suspicious situation for review before the alarm is triggered.

Detection of abandoned items that detects if an odd object appeared in the frame, and stayed there, can be put to use as an aid in fighting terrorism.

Xeoma has several intellectual capabilities for fighting global virus outbreaks. Besides, the Slip and fall detector will also be useful to detect if a person has fallen. When a fall is detected, the detector can call an ambulance (using the Application runner module), as well as notify relatives about the incident (email, SMS, push notifications).
