The Problem: Cameras That Watch But Don’t Think

Most organizations have hundreds of security cameras — but nobody watching them. Studies show that a guard monitoring a video wall loses effective attention after just 20 minutes. That means your cameras are recording, but not protecting.

When something happens — a crowd forming in a restricted area, someone loitering after hours, a queue growing dangerously long — your team finds out from the footage review, not from a real-time alert. By then, it’s too late.

How Kognition People Works

Kognition People layers AI-powered person detection and analytics on top of your existing camera infrastructure. No new hardware. No rip-and-replace. Just intelligence.

🎯 Highly Accurate Person Detection

• Real-time detection — Identify and track individuals across multiple camera feeds simultaneously, even in crowded environments.
• Works in challenging conditions — Accurate in low light, adverse weather, occlusion, and at varying distances.
• Multi-camera tracking — Follow a person’s path across your facility as they move from one camera view to another without requiring facial recognition.

🚨 Intelligent Alerting

• Perimeter crossing alerts — Define virtual tripwires and zones. Get notified instantly when someone enters a restricted area, crosses a fence line, or approaches a sensitive entrance.
• After-hours activity detection — Know immediately when someone is in your building after everyone should be gone.
• Long line / crowd alerts — Automatically detect when queues or crowds exceed your defined thresholds — critical for retail, healthcare, and public venues.
• Loitering detection — Flag individuals lingering in sensitive areas like loading docks, server rooms, or building perimeters beyond a set time.

🧠 Behavior & Pose Intelligence

• Human pose estimation — Detect unusual body postures that may indicate a fall, altercation, or medical emergency — without requiring the person to wear a device.
• Behavioral analysis — Identify patterns like pacing, erratic movement, or running that may indicate distress or a security threat.
• Slip-and-fall detection — Especially valuable for healthcare facilities and senior living communities where rapid response to falls saves lives.

📊 Occupancy & Analytics

• Real-time people counting — Know exactly how many people are in any zone, floor, or building at any moment.
• Occupancy compliance — Automatically enforce fire code and capacity limits. Get alerts before you exceed thresholds, not after.
• Traffic flow analysis — Understand how people move through your spaces. Identify bottlenecks, underutilized areas, and peak traffic times.
• Engagement analytics — For retail and commercial spaces, measure dwell time, visit frequency, and movement patterns to optimize layouts and operations.
• Historical reporting — Generate daily, weekly, and monthly reports on occupancy trends, peak hours, and traffic patterns to inform staffing and operational decisions.

Works With Your Existing Infrastructure

• Any IP camera — No proprietary hardware requirements. Works with Axis, Hanwha, Avigilon, Bosch, and other ONVIF-compatible cameras.
• VMS integration — Plugs into Genetec Security Center, Milestone XProtect, and other leading video management systems.
• Edge or cloud deployment — Process on-premise for maximum privacy or leverage cloud for multi-site management.
• Open API — Feed people counting data and alerts into your BMS, PSIM, or custom dashboards.

Who Uses Kognition People?

🏢 Commercial Real Estate

Track building occupancy in real time across lobbies, common areas, and parking garages. Provide tenants with occupancy data. Optimize HVAC and lighting based on actual presence — not schedules.

🏫 Education

Monitor hallways, cafeterias, and outdoor areas for unauthorized individuals, loitering, and crowd formation. Get alerts when students are in areas they shouldn’t be, when they should be in class.

🏥 Healthcare

Detect patient falls in real time. Monitor waiting room congestion. Track unauthorized access to restricted areas like pharmacies, NICUs, and operating suites. Ensure compliance with room occupancy limits.

🛍️ Retail

Count customers, measure dwell time, analyze traffic patterns, and optimize store layouts. Correlate foot traffic with sales data to understand conversion rates by zone and time of day.

🏭 Industrial & Warehouses

Enforce safety zone compliance. Detect when workers enter hazardous areas without authorization. Monitor lone workers and trigger alerts if a fall or injury is detected.
