Frequently asked questions

Sirix’s shoplifting detection AI solution can detect suspicious activity quickly and alert Sirix’s security operations center operators for real-time human validation. It identifies theft by analyzing millions of potentially fraudulent gestures. After being trained with a large amount of data, the algorithm is excellent at detecting thefts.

This shoplifting detection AI solution goes beyond basic facial recognition functionality by examining various human behavioral characteristics such as movement patterns, gestures, and actions.

This tool provides detailed analysis and useful information prior to the theft.

Unlike facial recognition technologies, shoplifting detection AI examines behavioral patterns and actions rather than identifying specific people.

The algorithm recognizes a store employee in charge of cleaning based on their outward appearance (uniform), the items they handle (boxes, carts, etc.), and their distinctive gestures from those of the customers. Therefore, they should not generate alarms.

However, in rare cases, an alarm can be generated if the employee is not wearing a uniform and the gesture strongly resembles a theft gesture.
