PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT INTELLIGENCE

The cameras you already have, turned into answers.

Signals connects to existing camera infrastructure and turns every space into a queryable data layer. Ask any question in plain English. Get clips, counts, and recommendations back in seconds. Not surveillance. Operations.

01 / WHAT IT DOES

Operators ask. Signals answers.

The natural language interface is the difference. Every other camera analytics platform on the market gives operators dashboards and filters. Signals gives them a question box. The same question your COO would ask, asked the same way, with an answer back in seconds.

A retail operator asks

"How many customers left the line at register 3 before being served yesterday between 4 and 6pm?"

Answer Between 4:00 and 6:00 pm yesterday, 47 customers approached register 3 and left without completing a purchase. Average wait when abandonment occurred: 6 minutes 12 seconds. Coverage gap detected: 17 minutes between 4:43 and 5:00 pm with no staff present in the zone. Clips attached.
A campus safety lead asks

"Show me anyone who accessed the chemistry building loading dock after 10pm in the past 30 days who isn't on the authorized list."

Answer Three incidents in the past 30 days. All three involved the same vehicle. Clips returned with timestamps. Recommended action: cross-reference vendor approval log. Generated escalation summary for campus safety review.
02 / CAPABILITIES

Six things every deployment delivers.

01

Natural language query

Any question about any camera at any point in time, asked in plain English. Returns clips, counts, summaries, or recommended actions. No specialist required.

02

Behavioral analytics

Dwell time, line length, traffic flow, zone occupancy, engagement patterns. The data your cameras have always seen but never surfaced.

03

Real-time alerts

Configurable rules engine. Operators set thresholds for what matters in their environment. Slack, Teams, SMS, or alert console delivery.

04

Anomaly detection

Behavioral deviation flagged before it becomes an incident. After-hours access, unusual movement patterns, density violations.

05

Operational dashboards

Per-vertical dashboards configured for the people who actually use them. Not a security monitor. A live operational picture.

06

Integration layer

Connects to VMS, POS, BMS, access control, ticketing, and the rest of the systems already in your stack. REST API for everything else.

03 / DEPLOYMENT

Three modes. Same platform.

Where Signals runs is a decision driven by your data sovereignty requirements, your site count, and your network. Same platform underneath. Choose the mode that fits your environment.

Edge
Data never leaves your building

All inference runs on-site on a compact Qualcomm-powered device. No footage routed to the cloud. No per-frame compute costs. Sub-second alert latency. Fully operational without internet connectivity.

Regulated industries. Campus FERPA. Single-site operators with data sovereignty requirements.

Cloud
No on-site compute required

Camera streams route to a managed cloud environment for processing, indexing, and storage. Longer retention windows. Access from anywhere. Centralized analytics across every location.

Multi-site chains. Franchise portfolios. CRE operators where central visibility matters more than local data control.

04 / FOCUS VERTICALS

Four environments. Built for each one.

Generic camera analytics platforms try to be everything. Signals is the opposite. Four focus verticals. Per-vertical event taxonomies, dashboards, integrations, and pricing. Pick the one that matches your environment.

05 / INTEGRATIONS

Layers on top of what you already have.

Signals does not replace your camera infrastructure, your VMS, your POS, your access control, or your BMS. It connects to them and turns the data they produce into operational intelligence. Below is a partial integration list across the four focus verticals.

Cameras are commoditized. The platforms that operate on top of them are not. Every stadium, campus, store, and office building runs cameras that produce footage nobody watches. Signals turns that footage into a live operational picture and a queryable record.

06 / PRIVACY BY DESIGN

The architecture makes compliance the default.

Privacy is not a policy bolted on after the fact. It is a structural property of how the platform is built. Signals operates on behavioral events, not people. No biometric identifiers, no facial recognition, no personal data records. Edge deployment keeps customer footage inside customer infrastructure.

FERPA

Campus deployments stay on campus

Edge deployment at the building level. Student-identifying footage never leaves the network. Anonymized behavioral metadata only.

BIPA

No biometric records by default

Vision models trained to extract behavioral events without creating biometric or personal data records. Illinois, Texas, and Washington biometric law compliance built in.

SOC 2

Type I in progress, Type II to follow

Continuous controls monitoring. Audit logging on every customer data access. Encryption in transit and at rest. Penetration tested annually.

Start with one site. See what's actually happening.

Pilots run 60 to 90 days depending on vertical. Defined KPIs agreed in advance. Pilot fee credited against year one on conversion. Three to five sites for retail, one event window or 60 days for stadium, one building or zone for campus, one property for CRE.
