Zensors

AI-powered video analytics for physical spaces

Overview

Zensors uses an AI-powered spatial intelligence platform to convert existing hardware like CCTV cameras into smart sensors for large physical spaces. It analyzes video data and other inputs to deliver real-time and historical metrics, answers in plain English, and provides dashboards, alerts, and reports, with options to run in the cloud or on-premises. The service differentiates itself by leveraging current infrastructure rather than mandating new sensors, offering flexible deployment, and delivering anonymized analytics for environments such as airports, transit systems, retail, and corporate facilities. Its goal is to help operators optimize staffing, resources, safety, customer experience, and monetization through data-driven decisions.
