Argus Vizion FAQs

What is a facial recognition system?

A facial recognition system compares faces captured by CCTV cameras against databases of known individuals, and uses sophisticated deep learning algorithms to analyse facial features and identify matches in real time.

How does the Argus Vizion facial recognition system work?

Argus Vizion continuously monitors your existing CCTV feeds, using sophisticated deep learning algorithms to detect and analyse faces in real-time. The system compares these faces against your customised watchlists of known offenders, repeat shoplifters, and other high-risk individuals. When someone on your watchlist is detected, Argus Vizion immediately triggers alerts to store security or management teams.
This proactive approach delivers multiple benefits:

Deters repeat offenders who know you have advanced detection capabilities
Reduces losses from theft, fraud, and shrink by enabling intervention before or as crimes occur
Simplifies investigations by providing video evidence and detailed incident records
Improves response times through instant notifications and real-time monitorin

Using cutting-edge deep learning technology, Argus Vizion performs reliably in challenging real-world conditions, including crowded areas, poor lighting, and oblique viewing angles.

How accurate and reliable is the technology in busy stores with high footfall?

Argus Vizion’s advanced deep learning algorithms are specifically designed to excel in demanding retail environments:

Performance standards:

Accuracy rates of 99% or higher under optimal conditions

Environmental adaptability:

Effective performance in both low and high-density customer areas
Reliable operation in varied lighting conditions
