“We will be bringing our product range to NRF which is specifically aimed at the Retail Loss market, including new, exciting, solutions”, said Brad McMullen, President of 3xlogic.

Building on the success of its world class hardware range, 3xlogic’s new X-Series edge based deep learning analytics cameras will be taking centre stage. The MVP release of select cameras will have far reaching applications within the Vigil Suite and Vigil Cloud and provide AI based advanced object tracking analytics. These new cameras continuously analyse movements and behaviours and use predictive analysis to track each object constantly. Particularly effective in dense and complex scenes, these cameras adopt business intelligence to highlight advanced dwell time and people counting.

Also featured, 3xlogic’s varifocal multi-imager surround dome camera (VX-20M-SURROUND-RAW) is designed for applications that require multiple angles of view that a standard camera cannot achieve. This camera contains four 5MP varifocal lenses that provide separate video streams. Rather than purchasing and installing multiple cameras, installers can now deploy a single device capable of capturing coverage of a scene. “The ability to configure each of the four lenses allows our new camera to cover virtually any security footprint. Because the camera provides wide coverage in a single housing, end users benefit from full coverage of their premises at a highly cost-effective price point—perfect for the retail market and convenience stores,” added McMullen.

Also, very popular with retail and restaurant customers, Vigil Trends is a dynamic application that incorporates point-of-sale (POS) data, exception-based reporting (EBR), X-series generated customer wait time analytics and video into a powerful tool that provides customers the ability to make better decisions, reduce unknown losses by identifying broken processes, help decrease operating expenses across the enterprise, and reduce shrink, while empowering operational efficiency through data driven insights.

Vigil Trends takes customer POS data (preferably from a central data location), along with X-Series camera analytics data and creates information based on customer defined exception rules to produce key performance indicators (KPIs). These exceptions are given a “weight” and displayed via a dashboard, giving an immediate view of employees and times of day with high scores. Opportunities for corrective action are “bubbled up” to the surface through intuitive visualisations and data views. These events are enriched with video and audio, which along with POS data and analytics data in a user-friendly experience, allowing for everything you need for quick review and analysis. Vigil Trends also provides daily summary reports to key stakeholders, showing usage and follow-up on the events that matter to you.

“Trends is ideal for mid to large scale retail, quick service restaurants, and c-stores,” commented McMullen. Current Vigil Trends customers could see excellent ROI quickly as the combination of better decision making, loss reduction, operational efficiency improvements, and decreased operating expenses help drive down expenses while lowering shrink.
