AIsle

01·PRODUCT · HOW IT WORKS

Behavior detection on the cameras you own.

AIsle is a thin software layer between your existing CCTV system and your floor team. It captures behavior, not identity — and turns it into a phone notification before a theft happens.

02·THE PIPELINE

From camera to staff phone, in under two seconds.

01

Ingest

RTSP / ONVIF feeds from existing IP cameras. ONVIF Profile S compliant. No NVR replacement.

02

Detect + Track

RT-DETR (Apache 2.0) for person detection at 30 fps; ByteTrack (MIT) for re-identification across the floor. No biometrics.

03

Behavior model

VideoMAE (Apache 2.0) action classifier flags concealment, sweeping, prolonged loitering, queue dwell, repeat-reach.

04

Alert

A 4-second clip + a one-line description lands on the floor manager's phone via SMS, Slack, or our app. One tap to acknowledge.

03·WHAT WE DETECT

Eight behaviors, lots of false-positive engineering.

We tune for sensitivity per store. New customers default to conservative thresholds — better to miss one than to send a staff member after a tired shopper.

  • Concealment

    Item moved into a bag, pocket, or under clothing — without payment behavior.

  • Sweeping

    Multiple SKUs swept off a shelf in rapid succession.

  • Prolonged loitering

    More than 30 seconds in one aisle without purchase intent (configurable).

  • Repeat-reach

    Multiple visits to the same shelf, often signaling staging.

  • Cart abandonment

    Cart left in an aisle by a person who exits without it — recoverable inventory.

  • Queue skip / dwell

    Anomalous behavior near checkout — prep for a sweep or an exit-rush.

  • Bag-switching

    Bringing in a bag, leaving with a different one, identified by shape/color only.

  • Coordination

    Multiple people moving as a coordinated unit — a hallmark of organized retail crime.

04·THE OPERATOR CONSOLE

One screen for the floor team.

Most days, your team won't open it — they'll act on phone alerts. The console is for shift managers, end-of-day review, and the rare deep-dive when an incident report is needed.

05·DEPLOYMENT

Edge-first by default. Cloud where it makes sense.

ON-PREM

AIsle Edge

Default for Pro and Enterprise

  • A small AIsle appliance (or a Linux box you provide) runs the model locally. Cloud sees only alert metadata + 4-second redacted clips.
  • Required for cannabis and BC Liquor — keeps raw video on-store.
  • Hardware: NVIDIA Jetson Orin or x86 with a single RTX-class GPU. We handle deployment.
  • Setup: 2–3 hours including network walk-through.

CLOUD

AIsle Cloud

Starter and small-store Pro

  • Camera streams encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3); inference runs in our Canadian region.
  • Raw video retained for 24 hours, then auto-deleted. Alert clips retained 30 days.
  • PIPEDA-compliant. Data residency: Canada-only.
  • Setup: 1 hour for a 6-camera store.
