Security Redefined: AI Video Surveillance for Jewelers

Last Wednesday, a jeweler on Hamburg’s exclusive Neuer Wall fell victim to a theft that resulted in losses of approximately €300,000. The perpetrators, a trio, employed a clever distraction tactic: while a couple diverted the senior owner’s attention, an accomplice entered the office and stole valuable jewelry. Another accomplice stood guard outside the door. Although the store’s surveillance cameras documented the incident in detail, providing crucial evidence for the police, real-time intervention was not possible. This is where Synaedge comes in. By combining access control with AI-driven video surveillance, the theft might have been prevented, or the perpetrators would have faced significantly greater challenges — with the police being alerted immediately.

Access Control with Facial Recognition: The Key to Enhanced Security

Synaedge’s innovative access solution combines precise AI video analytics from Vaidio with cutting-edge technologies like Nsecure to provide efficient access control. A camera at entry points, such as doors or turnstiles, captures a person’s face in real-time. The AI compares facial data with stored profiles. If the data matches, the door unlocks automatically; otherwise, it remains closed. The discreetly integrated camera allows for fast, contactless identification, ensuring maximum convenience and security. Alternatively, you can opt for handprint scanners or badge systems to control access. If the Hamburg jeweler had implemented this technology, the camera could have verified the accomplice’s face and denied entry due to a lack of authorization. These systems reliably secure sensitive areas like offices or storage rooms and adapt flexibly to individual security requirements.

Advanced security features: intrusion detection, theft detection, weapon detection, violence detection, and mask detection

Synaedge’s security solutions go far beyond basic access control. With features such as intrusion and theft detection, as well as the ability to identify weapons, violence, and disguises, they detect threats early and enable immediate countermeasures. There’s no need to replace your existing IP cameras; Vaidio’s AI video analytics integrates seamlessly with your current system, enhancing it with intelligent security features. This upgrade transforms your cameras into a powerful AI-based video surveillance system that actively analyzes and responds to potential threats. With this solution, you protect your business reliably and efficiently – around the clock.

Intrusion Detection

The intrusion detection system effectively safeguards jewelry stores against unauthorized entry. The AI continuously analyzes movements and behavioral patterns around windows, doors, and other access points, monitoring these areas in real-time to detect potential break-ins. When the AI registers an attempted intrusion, it automatically triggers an alarm. This alert is immediately sent to your in-house security team or Synaedge’s central security hub. The security team can access the affected camera, assess the situation, and evaluate the severity of the threat. Depending on their assessment, they can alert the police or dispatch a security team to the site. Simultaneously, the system documents the entire incident in detail, providing essential evidence for investigations or insurance claims. With Synaedge, you can respond quickly and accurately to break-in attempts, ensuring reliable protection for your business.

Theft detection

Synaedge’s theft detection system identifies unusual behavior in the sales area and prevents thefts before they occur. The AI video analytics continuously monitors your sales floors, analyzing every movement with precision. It reliably distinguishes between normal customer activity and suspicious behavior, such as suddenly removing jewelry from display cases or concealing items in bags. When the AI detects an anomaly, it triggers an alarm in real-time, notifying you or your staff discreetly without the thief realizing it. This allows for swift intervention, stopping the thief before they leave the store. The system operates discreetly and reliably, relieving your team while ensuring comprehensive protection.

Violence, weapon, and mask detection

The weapon detection system identifies dangerous objects such as knives or firearms in real-time by continuously analyzing video footage. Simultaneously, the violence detection system recognizes potentially dangerous situations, such as altercations or assaults, by analyzing movements and body language. The mask detection feature complements these capabilities by identifying suspicious disguises like balaclavas or masks. When Vaidio detects weapons, violence, or disguises in real-time, it triggers a silent alarm, alerting your security team or Synaedge’s central security hub. Security personnel can then intervene immediately and alert the police before the situation escalates.

Conclusion

The incident in Hamburg underscores the importance of equipping jewelry stores with not just surveillance cameras but a comprehensive, intelligent security solution. Synaedge provides exactly that: a combination of state-of-the-art AI video analytics and effective security technologies.
