Idis: AI Box for Retail
Increasingly stores are using analytics-driven metrics of activity in-store to increase sales and build customer loyalty, now the Idis AI Retail Box makes this approach practical even for the smallest of stores.
The new Idis AI Box for Retail is an NDAA-compliant, 4-channel add-on appliance that gives users powerful additional functionality from either their existing Idis DirectIP network cameras and NVRs or new systems.
With the advantages of rapid plug-and-play installation and no upfront or ongoing license fees, the DV-1304 gives retailers essential actionable intelligence, including queue monitoring, heat mapping, occupancy monitoring and real-time activity data from specified locations.
The DV-1304 is designed to deliver detailed analytics using cameras positioned for perspective view, without needing additional dedicated top view cameras. This minimizes costs and makes it possible to analyze a wide range of metrics from even small-scale camera systems. Users don’t need additional analytics software or edge camera upgrades, making the Idis AI Box for Retail uniquely affordable.
An industry-first dashboard can integrate up to 32-channels, cost-free, giving store staff at-a-glance intelligence and making it easy for both local managers and head office teams to generate reports on day-to-day activity and long term or seasonal trends.
And Idis has listened to retailers’ concerns around the need to maintain resilience against future infection risks: the DV-1304 retains the tools that proved so effective in its AI COVID Box and helped stores to be managed safely, including people counting, mask-detection, as well as occupancy and social distancing control.
“As retailers look to build customer loyalty and adapt to tough trading conditions, more than ever they need affordable tools and technology to help them drive efficiency across their operations," says James Min, Managing Director, Idis Europe. "Video analytics has a vital role to play, and our AI Retail Box is designed as a practical, affordable solution that will deliver immediate advantages."
