Convert your existing CCTV infrastructure into AI retail analytics for customer movement, queues, dwell time, heatmaps, and conversion insights.
What is CCTV analytics for retail?
CCTV analytics for retail is the use of AI to interpret existing camera footage and convert it into operational and business intelligence.
