Practical questions
What restaurant and bar operators ask first.
Every pilot starts with the camera view, the business question, and a useful measure of success.
Do we need to replace our cameras?
Usually not. We first determine whether your existing camera provides a usable RTSP stream, sufficient resolution, and an appropriate viewing angle.
How many cameras are required?
The initial pilot is designed around one camera. Additional cameras can be added after the first use case is validated.
Is facial recognition required?
No. The initial use cases rely on anonymous person detection, tracking, timing, and zone analytics.
Where is the video processed?
The initial architecture can process video on a compact edge device installed at the operating location.
What happens if the internet is unavailable?
Local video processing should continue. Dashboard synchronization may resume when the connection returns.
How long does a pilot take?
The schedule depends on camera access, installation, and the selected metric. A pilot plan and success criteria are agreed upon before installation.
Can the system integrate with the POS?
POS integration is not required for the first pilot. It can be evaluated as a later phase.
One camera · One process
Start with a measurable question in Restaurants.
We assess the camera view, define the event and baseline, and validate whether the resulting data creates useful operational value.
- Existing camera assessed first
- Clear success criteria
- Expand after value is proven
