Get back to work faster and safer with smart cameras

Social distancing is the key to preventing, or at least slowing down, the transmission of COVID-19 from person to person. Where many people come together in confined spaces at shopping or at work, surveillance is needed to ensure appropriate behaviour. The same applies to make sure that people wear masks wherever mandatory.

IoT cameras, equipped with the latest technology and AI, can help detect behavior and characteristics that do not comply with regulations. 

• Do you have occupancy levels under control?  

• Do people wear protective masks as required? 

•Is maximum room capacity exceeded?

Learn more about, how IoT cameras can help ensure adherence to regulations in our latest blog post (with examples)

With our open IoT Platform, Application Store and Camera OS we have built the foundation for innovative surveillance camera apps designed to help address COVID-19-related challenges. 

Now we'll go one better: Azena provides a limited number of test cameras running our operating system. Selected integrators can equip them with AI applications for use cases such as occupancy management, face mask recognition and crowd control. Our partners offer these applications through our Application Store, and you can try them for 30 days free of charge.

You can choose from 3 combo suggestions:

1. Detecting the use of face masks

2. Control occupancy

3. Your custom COVID-19 AI solution

Each combo includes a camera and 2 (or more) preinstalled apps. 

Here is a selection of COVID-19 apps available

Occupancy Management

By using deep learning algorithms, SAIMOS Counting detects and tracks people for counting. Counts are triggered when people do cross a defined line in both directions, for example, at entrances or at cash desks. The configuration is very simple as mostly just the line for the counting zone needs to be drawn.

Key features

• People are detected and tracked for counting, using deep learning algorithms.

• Counts are triggered when people do cross a defined line in both directions.

• A statistics dashboard is integrated on the camera UI.
