Does Video Analytics with Isarsoft Perception work for all kind of retail?
Yes it does. It does not matter if you run a small corner store, a shoe or fashion store, a bank, a grocery store or a big mall. Isarsoft Perception adapts to your camera systems and to your use case. Often only one camera is enough to track the most important retail KPIs.
Is Isarsoft Perception compatible with existing camera systems?
Isarsoft Perception is compatible with all major security cameras and leading video management systems (VMS). In most cases no new hardware is required.
Is Isarsoft Perception privacy compliant?
Yes, Isarsoft Perception complies with relevant privacy policies such as the GDPR. Additionally Isarsoft is ISO 27001 certified by TÜV Süd, underscoring our commitment to the highest standards of privacy, information security and risk management.
The software does not identify people personally, it does not store faces, personal data, or identity. It only uses abstract visual features (like colors, shapes, and movement patterns) to match whether two detections belong to the same individual.This makes Re-ID privacy-friendly and compliant with regulations such as GDPR when implemented correctly.
Where is the data processed?
Depending on the version, Isarsoft Perception can be installed on cameras, edge and server hardware. Data processing takes place locally and does not require an Internet connection. The collected, anonymous metadata can be transmitted to third-party systems for further processing.
How many cameras are needed?
For small retail stores often only one camera is sufficient for collecting valuable data. The optimal positoning of the camera at the entrance overlooking the most important areas of the store is required.
Is Video Analytics more accurate than sensors?
Yes, in many real-world, dynamic or crowded settings, Video Analytics tends to deliver higher accuracy than traditional sensor-based counting.
What is re-identification (Re-ID) in people counting?
Re-ID is an AI technique that recognizes the same person across multiple video frames, cameras, or viewpoints without identifying who they are. It simply ensures that one person is counted once, even if they appear several times. Video data is anonymized and re-id works without face-recognition.
Can the retail stores staff be excluded from counting?
Yes, staff will be automatically excluded from counting. The system learns which individuals repeatedly appear for long periods, marking them as staff. This guarantees a high quality of collected data.
