Engaging Use Cases

Smart Cities

Deploy this unit across traffic intersections and public spaces. Use face recognition for suspect tracking, ANPR for real-time license plate detection, and video metadata for urban planning insights (e.g., crowd flow and vehicle classification).

✈️ Airports & Transportation Hubs

Ensure airport perimeters and terminals are secure. Facial recognition can speed up identity verification at gates, while people counting and heat mapping improve passenger flow and reduce bottlenecks.

Corporate Campuses & Data Centers

Use perimeter protection with smart alarms to prevent intrusion. Monitor employee and visitor traffic using face access logs and maintain full audit trails with advanced metadata tagging.

Retail & Commercial Centres

Understand customer behavior with people counting and heat mapping. Recognize VIP customers using facial recognition and analyze demographic trends for marketing strategy.

Education Sector

Universities and schools benefit from intelligent tracking of entry/exit activity, face-based attendance logging, and real-time alerts for boundary breaches or unusual movements.

Critical Infrastructure

Ideal for utilities and factories. Combine high channel capacity with AI detection to identify unauthorized entry, monitor machinery zones, and support compliance with security protocols.
