THE TECHNOLOGY
Our technology is world-class and pioneering - designed for a wide range of commercial environments, from retail outlets and hospitals to sports arenas and hotels, the FRC system identifies and alerts about individuals on a watchlist – suspected shoplifters, for example.
In brief: We offer a three part, fully integrated system.
This comprises dedicated smart cameras, server and software to watch the points of entry to your premises. The system detects unwelcome visitors by recognising faces that have previously been flagged, before alerting local security or management to the presence.
The essence of the system is simple:
INTELLIGENT INSIGHT
Internet level analytics in the physical world
INTELLIGENT SAFETY
World’s first ultra-accurate facial recognition system
The system is standalone and specific. It doesn’t replace your existing CCTV. It’s complementary, in that it provides additional, high quality, accurate information to support your other security processes. We’ve created a simple and intuitive user experience, via our smart phone app, accessible for every staff member, whether floor security or site manager.
FACE COVERING CAPABILITY:
The FRC system is capable of processing partial face information – taking visible information and other data from partially obscured features – to identify an individual. This functionality does not require any changes to how users operate the system, which is now able to identify persons of interest from previous visitor data, whether they are wearing a mask or not.
The technical work required to address the challenge of partially obscured face recognition pre-dates the COVID-19 outbreak, and has been performed using very large datasets from wide ranges of real-world cases in challenging environments.
Any reduction in recognition capability from faces being masked is negligible.
If you based your view only on what is reported in the press, it would be easy to get the impression that facial recognition technology is universally mistrusted and disliked. According to the Information Commissioner’s June 2021 report on facial recognition in public spaces 82% of the public support police use of such technology.
