Monitoring a large shopping center with numerous stores, restaurants, and public areas presents a variety of challenges. The expansive areas and complex structures make it difficult to efficiently monitor hundreds of cameras and detect relevant events in real-time.
The security personnel face the challenge of monitoring the multitude of cameras and alarms without losing track. At the same time, frequent false alarms can waste valuable resources and lead to frustration. Another challenge lies in efficient emergency management. In cases of dangers such as fires, medical emergencies, or evacuations, a quick and coordinated response is crucial. Addressing these challenges requires an intelligent and scalable solution that improves both security and operational efficiency without compromising customer privacy.

Building monitoring

Identify safety-critical situations early and immediately initiate appropriate measures

Through continuous monitoring and immediate alerting upon detection of fire or smoke in the camera field, Vaidio enables a quick response to emergencies. The system detects when people are smoking in the building and ensures, by notifying security personnel, that this only occurs in designated areas. Additionally, it immediately detects vandalism on walls (graffiti), windows, or other structures and alerts. Vaidio also identifies abandoned objects such as illegal or improper waste disposal. Emergency exit monitoring ensures that emergency exits are not blocked or misused, and ensures that in case of emergency all escape routes are clear and accessible.

Theft prevention

Immediate detection of theft attempts and alerting of security personnel

Vaidio detects suspicious movements such as pocketing items or withholding goods and informs security personnel. Vaidio also enables precise camera cross-tracking to monitor suspicious individuals in the shopping center. If the EAS system triggers an alarm, an image of the person is sent to video surveillance. The AI links this image with camera feeds throughout the center and tracks the person seamlessly—even in high-traffic situations. Using facial recognition and a blacklist, the system identifies known shoplifters and informs staff to respond quickly and discreetly.

Security Meets Customer Experience: Customer Protection as a Priority for a Safe Shopping Experience

The AI-powered video surveillance by Vaidio reliably detects a variety of threats and immediately triggers alarms to enable quick responses. It can detect critical situations such as falls or collapses due to medical emergencies, like a heart attack, at an early stage. Vaidio also promptly responds to suspicious actions like fights or assaults and protects sensitive areas by detecting weapons such as firearms or knives against potential threats. Additionally, the system conducts precise people counting to ensure that all individuals are accounted for and safely evacuated from the building in the event of an evacuation.

Heatmapping and people counting for data-driven store leasing

Use AI-powered video analysis to gain valuable insights into customer movements and the attractiveness of your locations with heatmaps and people counting.

With this information, you can dynamically adjust rental prices and optimally market your retail spaces. Potential tenants receive a transparent location assessment and can make informed decisions, minimizing risks. Our data-driven solution helps you increase the profitability of your shopping center and make it even more attractive to tenants and visitors.

With clear color coding (e.g., green for available seats, red for full restaurants), displayed waiting times, and special offers, you help your guests make spontaneous and stress-free restaurant choices. This technology allows you to direct customer flows purposefully, improve the occupancy of less frequented restaurants, and relieve crowded areas. With our solution, you increase your guests’ satisfaction and create a more modern, efficient shopping and dining experience.
