Heatmap
HEAT AI is a powerful video analytics solution designed to help marketers and businesses understand customer movement within their facilities. By leveraging computer vision and AI-powered heat maps, HEAT AI provides real-time insights into foot traffic patterns, popular zones, and customer behavior, allowing businesses to optimize layouts, improve engagement, and enhance overall customer experience.
Functions
Movement Analysis
Heat analyses the movement of objects moving within the scene and identifies the area of greatest interest ( hot spots) and the areas of least interest ( cold spots )
Heatmap
Visualisation of the movement analysis is overlaid on top of a background image taken from the camera. Areas that have colored regions indicate where people have been. The most frequented areas are shown in the warmest colours (red , orange, yellow) with the least frequented areas displayed
Integrations
The events generated by the video analysis applications can be notified by e-mail, with the possibility of attaching a sequence of images with the metadata related to the event of interest.
FTP
Notifications can be sent to FTP servers (e.g. FileZilla, IIS), storing for each one a CSV file and a sequence of images with the metadata relating to the event of interest.

HTTP
A.I. Tech offers maximum integration with standard HTTP and HTTPS services. Notifications can be received by customizing requests to REST or CGI services to control remote devices (e.g. for PTZ handover mechanisms) or in JSON format, attaching one or more images to the event of interest on any third-party server.

UDP /TCP
The metadata associated with the events generated by the A.I. Tech can be received via text strings over configurable UDP / TCP protocols, such as those sent by POS systems.
MODBUS
A.I. Tech plugins can forward alarm notifications using the Modbus TCP protocol, according to the specifications outlined by the IEC 61158 Standard.
MQTT
A.I. Tech plugins can forward notifications using the publish-subscribe MQTT protocol, according to the specifications outlined by the ISO/IEC PRF 20922 standard.
ONBOARD
A.I. Tech also offers mechanisms to notify events of interest directly on board the device that processes the images. It is in fact possible to activate, through applications, the digital outputs on the AI-Appliance, the digital output of the Hanwha cameras and the notification mechanisms of the Axis cameras.

Common Functions
of A.I. Tech Apps
Tampering
If your camera does not have this functionality, don't worry. All apps can generate when tampering events occur.
PTZ Handover
Do you need to control a PTZ camera when an event occurs? With the ability to trigger a sequence of HTTP calls, you can bring the camera to the desired pre-set, start the PTZ tracking (if available on the camera) and bring the PTZ camera back to the home position after a configurable amount of time.
Activation on a time basis
Apps can be activated on a time basis, only in specific time intervals, e.g. from 9 p.m to
8 a.m. In addition, for server or embedded apps, it is also possible to specify the day (e.g. Monday from 10am to 12pm., Tuesday from 6pm to 10pm.).
Masking
In all apps masking of moving objects can be activated, in order to be compliant with all kinds of privacy requirements.
AI-Dash-Embedded
This is the app's built-in dashboard, which allows you to have the data for the specific camera at your fingertips at all times ( even on camera, if you have an SD card).
​
​
​
Dynamic activation via software
In addition to time-scheduling, you can activate your apps dynamically, through software calls, via HTTP GET requests that allow you to operate in two modes: impulsive and level-based. In the first case you have a single START request and the app will remain active for a certain predefined amount of time. In the second case, you have one START request and one STOP request to control the app.
Use Cases

SUPERMARKETS
Identify high-traffic areas (hot zones) to place best-selling or high-margin products. Optimize checkout placement to reduce bottlenecks.

PUBLIC SPACES
Monitor crowd density in public squares at concerts, sports events, and festivals to prevent overcrowding.

Ideal for learning how customers move around your facilities. Enhance customers interaction and experience
GYMS

RETAIL
Track movement patterns to improve store navigation and reduce congestion.Optimize store lighting, music, and ambiance based on foot traffic insights
