VisionAI Based Monitoring

Theft or shoplifting detection using our solution can prove to be an important application in retail settings, as it can help to prevent loss and increase security.

To detect theft or shoplifting our model is trained on a dataset of video footage with labeled instances of theft or shoplifting. The state-of-the-art model is then learned, to recognize patterns in the video data that are associated with suspicious behavior, such as loitering near a display or concealing merchandise in a bag or pocket.

Our trained model can be used to analyze live video footage from surveillance cameras in real-time. The system can alert security personnel or trigger an alarm when it detects suspicious behavior, allowing them to intervene and prevent the theft or shoplifting from occurring. Our systems for theft or shoplifting detection uses various techniques, such as object detection, tracking, and activity recognition. These techniques can be combined to create a more robust and accurate system.
