HOW IT RUNS ON EDGE
Camera to notification: the rule's pipeline
Footage is processed on the Edge device in your store or site: the model analyses frames in real time, an event is raised when the rule condition is met, and every notification channel fires at once.

TECHNICAL · CROWD_DETECTION
What it needs and how it works
Heat-Map Analysis ships as a ready-made rule and is configured for your site. The rule counts people in a defined area anonymously and tracks density continuously. No identity data is processed — only counts and occupancy. When a threshold is exceeded an event is raised and the alert reaches the right team. Processing runs on Edge, GDPR-compliant by design.

This rule is part of the Retail Intelligence rule set and runs on the IP cameras you already own.
How false alarms are reduced
Heavy overlap, mirrors/reflections and wide-angle distortion can affect counts. Camera placement, counting-line position and scene calibration improve accuracy.
Alert and action
The data produced is anonymous and lands in the store-operations dashboard; no person is identified and raw video stays on site — GDPR-compliant by design.
