Camera refers to one of the existing IP, RTSP or ONVIF CCTV cameras already installed in the store. Aura Vision doesn’t ship or install cameras — it connects to the views already on the store’s camera network via the APU. Compatibility covers roughly 98% of cameras on the market.
What different cameras do
Each connected camera plays a specific role in the analytics:
- Entrance cameras — feed the footfall count, capture rate and passer-by metrics via the entry line.
- Area / floor cameras — cover departments, aisles and zones for dwell, traffic and demographic splits.
- Service-desk and queue cameras — power queue length, wait time and staff-interaction metrics.
Cameras pointing at stockrooms, offices or other back-of-house spaces are not connected — they have no business signal and raise unnecessary privacy questions.
