A supermarket chain offers a 100% secure shopping experience. (Paraguay)

The supermarket chain protects its stores with an advanced facial recognition system to protect workers and customers and offer the best shopping experience to its customers.

CHALLENGE

Paraguay’s leading chain of local supermarkets has more than 2,000 employees and more than 150 stores located at strategic points in Asunción and Greater Asunción. In addition, it offers a wide variety of products, at very competitive prices and in a 24-hour format, 365 days a year.

Its main objective focuses on protecting each and every one of its retail stores by identifying the most frequent thieves at the entrance, restricting their entry and reducing thefts. To this end, this supermarket is committed to a centralized alert system and the implementation of facial recognition technology in its stores.

SOLUTION

Facial recognition cameras are installed at the entrances of each of the premises, providing high resolution images (up to 4 Mpx) and under any lighting conditions thanks to their built-in infrared illumination up to 60 meters.

The system allows you to create black and white lists, update and manage databases centrally, and integrates with Point-of-Sale Terminals (POS).

Upon identification of a habitual burglar, security officers receive an automatic alarm with the associated image or video. On the other hand, managers can also locate any person in a matter of seconds through advanced search filters (faces, names, IDs, etc.) or reference images.

The images are processed by SCATI RECKON, SCATI’s Business Intelligence software. This software transforms data into useful information, and allows the creation of graphs and balanced scorecards in a simplified way, displaying that information in an organized manner to people who need to interpret it and make decisions based on it.

This is the ideal software to meet the customer’s needs, since it can classify useful information and differentiate between the different types of people accessing the establishment, thus distinguishing between wanted and unwanted people.

Local storage of these images is done through SCATI VISION N400 recording servers capable of managing up to 3 megapixel cameras. These platforms feature a highly compact form factor and have an efficient heat dissipation design.

BENEFITS

The installation of this innovative solution positions this supermarket chain as one of the most secure stores, offering its customers the best shopping experience.

Thanks to the installation of these video surveillance systems directly connected to the point-of-sale terminals, the supermarket chain has managed to prevent each and every one of the robberies carried out by habitual thieves, so we are talking about 100% effectiveness.

The installation of facial recognition systems in the retail chain opens up a world of possibilities, both for security and for the operation of a business, since other departments of the company cansegment your customer profile by gender and age for commercial purposes and to control the access of its employees and visitors. Todo ello cumpliendo la normativa vigente sobre protección de datos.

“This project enables the supermarket chain to offer a good and safe shopping experience to its customers. It also positions SCATI technology as a benchmark in the retail sector in Paraguay,” he says. Javier Larrodé, SCATI Branch Manager in Brazil.

SCATI is a company specialized in adapting its solutions to the needs of its customers and has been able to understand the needs of this supermarket chain to offer them a solution to solve their theft problems.

New ThermalScan series of the SCATI EYE range

New ThermalScan series of the SCATI EYE range

360º vision of large areas without blind spots

SCATI, manufacturer of intelligent video solutions, completes its video surveillance proposal with the addition of a new line of ThermalScan cameras to protect large geographic areas or areas with irregular or undefined perimeters such as natural land and sea areas, critical infrastructures, etc.

ThermalScan cameras detect, recognize and track an unlimited number of targets (people, ships, vehicles, etc.) automatically, over long distances and in the most adverse weather conditions and in total darkness, providing high-resolution images.

A camera of these characteristics is capable of replacing hundreds of conventional cameras, simplifying and minimizing the installation and maintenance costs of the system.

Thanks to their high image capture speed (360º/2 sec.) and the use of advanced optical image stabilization technology, these cameras cover surfaces of several kilometers in distance without leaving blind spots, which facilitates the continuous monitoring of large distances and also minimizes false alarms due to the high data update frequency.

The range of SCATI ThermalScande cameras depends on the size of the lens or focal length, the resolution or its location. The shorter the focal length, the larger the field of view. The higher the resolution, the sharper the images will be. The fewer obstacles between the camera and the object of interest, the better the chances of capturing it in images.

For this reason, and depending on the distance of the area to be monitored, SCATI offers two ranges of cameras with different optics.

Mini Range

gama mini thermal scan radar termico

The Mini range of thermal radar cameras is ideal for monitoring areas up to 1.5 km away: perimeter around the airport, prison, etc.

Periscope Range

The Periscope Range is most suitable in wide area scenarios such as border and coastal surveillance where the objects of interest are at greater distances.

For the protection of the areas closest to the premises to be protected, the thermal radar cameras can have associated SCATI EYE PTZ Domes, with images already in the visible spectrum, which will automatically position themselves at those points where the intrusion is detected, with the aim of being able to identify the object or person that generated the alert.
These cameras meet the most demanding needs and have multiple applications:

  • Border protection: Maintaining territorial integrity, preventing illegal immigration, drug smuggling, etc.
  • Ports and Airports: External threat detection, fire detection, etc.
  • Coastal and maritime surveillance: infrastructure protection, detection of boardings of docked ships, drug smuggling or attacks.
  • Critical infrastructures and utilities: Full 24×7 protection
  • Nature reserves: Detection of intruders, poachers, illegal harvesting, fires.
SCATI VAS, new SCATI software module

SCATI VAS, new SCATI software module

This new module identifies and recognizes any code that appears in the scene to extract its information or to track the object or person to which it is associated

SCATI, a manufacturer of intelligent video, access control and system integration solutions, announces the launch of SCATI VAS (Video Anlytics Server), an application that enables multiple types of intelligent video processing to be performed centrally.

SCATI VAS

SCATI VAS is a self-developed application that allows the processing of information from any camera in the park, analog or IP, without the need for on-board video analytics.

Centralized processing (as opposed to on-the-edge processing) allows users to have much more powerful and accurate analytics engines for obvious reasons, since a server has more hardware resources to do the image processing than a camera.

For some models of SCATI VISION recorders, SCATI VAS will have the possibility to run on the recording equipment itself. In other scenarios where the number of cameras on which to apply analytics is high, it will be possible to have different dedicated servers for image processing distributed over the network, even in different physical environments, performing the configuration of all of them remotely and centrally from a single operator station.

While the first analytics incorporated in SCATI VAS is designed for detect and recognize barcodes, QR, Datamatrix, etc. on the images captured by the CCTV system cameras; our R&D Department is currently working on new analytics which will be gradually incorporated into SCATI VAS.

SCATI VAS<br />

By means of this first analytics it will be possible to perform a visual verification of the passage of goods, assets or even people through the areas covered by the cameras of the system, so the application scenarios are very diverse as it would have a potential use from logistics or industrial environments, to retail or even for public safety. Lo único que se precisa es que el código adherido al bien o activo, o que porte en su ropa o EPI la persona, tenga un tamaño mínimo de píxeles en la imagen capturada por la cámara.

SCATI VAS complements the SCATI platform and integrates with the different modules of the SUITE VISION . SCATI VAS identifies and recognizes any code in real time, notifies SCATI WATCHER immediately by alarm and allows the visualization of images associated with the alarm through a pop-up. Moreover, the metadata generated are recognized by SCATI RECKON, SCATI’s Business Intelligence module, which centralizes the information to facilitate searches through customized filters or display it in a synthesized form through customized reports and graphs.

With this new milestone, SCATI reinforces its commitment to offer intelligent video solutions to its customers, enabling them to manage their facilities beyond security.
