Privacy is important to us, which is why we have very limited access to your system during normal operation. However, if there is something we can do to help from our office, we can send a time limited access request, which after approval allows us to diagnose and resolve any confusion on the software side of the system.

Business Analytics and AI
Queue Monitoring
Astra cameras are equipped with several smart functionalities, including queue monitoring. This feature is achieved by using AI to calculate how many people are in a given waiting area, averaged by the amount of time spent at the front of the line. This provides a real-time wait time tracker, as well as monthly reports for easily identifying changes or trends.
Occupancy / People Counting
Usually programmed on the main entry camera, occupancy tracking is achieved by drawing a straight line that indicates when somebody is entering or exiting your business. Our cameras track and count this number in real time so you always know how full you are, or how many people need to be accounted for in the event of an emergency.
Heat Mapping
Heat maps are fantastic tools for retail or brick and mortar businesses. We draw a ground zone on the camera, which gathers data to create a colorful overlay of information based on the foot traffic of customers within the area. This can help you identify "hot" areas of your business and move merchandise / promotional items accordingly. Designed to put more tools in your business' belt, and more money in your pocket.
People, Animal, Vehicle Detection
Built in AI distinguishes between these 3 categories, sending you customized notifications in real time. Because this AI is searching for specific types of movement such as a person's legs or wheels on a car, it filters out random, ambient motion such as leaves blowing or snow falling. This reduces the amount of annoying and unimportant alerts ten-fold!
Actionable Video Search
Many Astra devices have secondary functions to interact with our cameras. Actionable video search shows all notable events that occurred throughout the day. Selecting a specific event will automatically pull up a coinciding video clip. For example, if John badges in to unlock the store for the day, this section will show what time he arrived, and the video clip attached verifies that John was the one who scanned.
Industry-Leading Reports
We even make data reports look sexy. With several different report types from our collection of features, we can surely find one that benefits your business. These reports are included standard with any Astra commercial camera system, and can discover improvements for your business to make. Whether you're concerned about capacity, customer experience, or interest in product, the Astra mobile app houses everything you need to make informed decisions for all.
Advanced Video Search
We've talked a lot about what our cameras can detect live, but they can also go back in time! For example, you think somebody was messing with your vehicle at some point today, but you have been so busy that you're not sure you can give a decent time frame. Simply draw a box around your vehicle and press go. Our camera's will automatically pull up all clips of activity that were recorded within that box, reducing your investigation time by countless hours and putting all suspects in one place.
