FAQ

Pricing depends on the complexity of liveness detection algorithms and your chosen cloud or edge infrastructure. An accurate estimate will be provided at no cost after an initial investigation of your CCTV systems and business requirements.

Typically, deploying a new model will take between 2-4 months. But you'll probably find that there is also some additional time required for batch processing pipeline configuration, as well as older systems integrations.

Yes, we use specialized CNN architectures (with extensive training on a variety of different complex datasets) to achieve stable detection in low-light situations, in shadows, and at night.

To avoid data leaks, we use a match-on-device approach and an irreversible method of hashing facial imagery. For compliance with GDPR and HIPAA, every face image is encrypted.

Yes, we can make custom APIs in REST/GPRC formats to integrate our biometric algorithms seamlessly into your current ecosystem without disrupting your daily operations.

On average, we provide more than 95% accurate real-time video (using high-quality inputs) with less than 200 ms of delay. Even if the video is taken in bad lighting or from unusual perspectives, our models will still deliver an exceptionally good recognition rate between 85-90%.

There are global data privacy laws that require both: (a) a user’s explicit consent to collect and process their personal data, and (b) transparency in how personal data has been collected, processed, and shared. We incorporate a “privacy by design” approach directly into your systems and applications.

Our vector database architecture allows for horizontal scaling for millions of face embeddings without degrading accuracy. We leverage indexed nearest neighbor search and AWS auto-scaling to ensure 1:N matches are performed quickly as the identity database grows.
