Omicent presents an AI system that watches a store’s existing camera feeds for specified concealment behaviors and sends staff an alert clip.
- For
- Independent retailers and multi-store loss-prevention teams
- Worth noticing
- The page says it tracks 17 body points per shopper per frame; lingering cues alone do not trigger alerts.
Field notes
The homepage describes a four-step pipeline: tracking each shopper with a temporary ID, reading 17 body points per frame, identifying concealment, then sending a clip to staff phones. It says IDs reset when shoppers leave and faces are not recognized. Additional behaviors such as lingering are described as cues for closer review, not standalone alerts; detecting departure without a sale requires connected POS data. These are vendor-described capabilities, not independently verified.
