Top 5 Most Popular IREX Applications in 2022 So Far

IREX July 12, 2022

IREX announced findings from a survey of existing clients worldwide regarding the most popular applications deployed during the first half of 2022.

#5: AI-Powered Video Analytics Module – Human Detected on Rail-Track

The fifth-ranked application detects when a person appears on railway tracks, particularly used in European metros and railways. The system provides real-time alerts to users for suicide prevention, accident avoidance, and tunnel intrusion detection.

A notable feature: unlike mainstream video analytics, IREX modules recognize different transport types and avoid false alarms when trains stop, pass, or load passengers.

#4: AI-Powered Video Analytics Module – Unattended Item

This module operates at scale across thousands of cameras in high-traffic environments like transportation hubs and public spaces. Customers value the adjustable response intervals (such as 30-second delays), allowing flexibility across different locations and cameras. One customer noted the module “has helped in multiple facets to assist us, including illegal dumping across our city.”

#3: AI-Powered Video Analytics Module – Prohibited Vehicle Alerts

This module identifies vehicles in restricted zones during specific hours, assisting local governments and road police in issuing citations. One client distributed a record number of violation tickets within the first deployment month.

#2: AI-Powered Video Analytics Module – Person & Suspect Recognition

Deployed across thousands of cameras, this recognition technology showed strong results in Q1-Q2 2022. Applications include preventing banned individuals from stadiums and identifying shoplifters in retail environments. IREX partnered with missing children and anti-human trafficking organizations, offering free pilots to U.S. cities.

#1: IREX Big Data Capabilities – Unifying All Existing Surveillance Cameras

The top application addresses budget constraints and supply chain issues by connecting existing hardware and infrastructure. One customer noted: “IREX has breathed new life into our existing surveillance and made us realise we haven’t been using all the big data we had available to us already without deploying new hardware.”

Highway patrols benefited particularly, as IREX centralized aging surveillance systems under one platform with real-time alerts. The system connects to any surveillance camera with unlimited scalability.
