In the world of video analytics, where cameras are everywhere but insights are often elusive, TraceVision stands out with its groundbreaking Global ID technology. This isn't just another AI tool—it's a fundamental shift in how we extract value from existing video feeds.

What is Global ID and Why is It Unique?

At its core, Global ID is traceVision's identification system designed to identify and track people and vehicles uniquely, across multiple cameras and locations with human-like precision. Unlike traditional methods that rely on techniques like facial recognition or license plate reading, Global ID looks at unique, holistic appearance. This means it works seamlessly even without full visibility of faces or plates.

What sets Global ID apart is its scalability and effectiveness. It delivers accurate results without depending on specific hardware, ensuring broad compatibility. This uniqueness directly enables re-identification and multi-camera tracking. For instance, if someone enters one camera's field of view and later appears on another in a different part of the location, Global ID links those appearances into a cohesive, visual timeline. No more manual sifting through hours of footage; instead, you get near real-time continuity, turning fragmented video into a unified story.

Broad Applications 

With Global ID at the heart of its platform, traceVision technology is extremely versatile for diverse industries. While it shines in retail—where it tracks customer journeys across stores to optimize layouts and staffing, and significantly reduces the time it takes Asset Protection teams to review footage when incidents occur—its real power lies in how it extends far beyond. All you need are your existing cameras; TraceVision taps into them to unlock rapid, actionable answers without requiring new hardware or overhauls.

Here are a few non-retail scenarios where quick insights can make all the difference:

- Security in Corporate Campuses or Public Spaces: Global ID helps detect and track suspicious activity, like loitering in parking lots or in unauthorized areas, providing a full path of an individual's actions across cameras in minutes.

- Quick Service Restaurants: It analyzes service speed by tracking employees and customers through drive-thrus or counters, identifying bottlenecks to improve efficiency and customer satisfaction.

- Event Venues or Transportation Hubs: Quickly trace lost items or individuals by reconstructing paths from entry to exit, aiding in crowd management and incident response.

In each case, Global ID delivers high-level insights fast—whether it's spotting operational inefficiencies in a restaurant or enhancing safety in a busy airport—proving that traceVision isn't limited to one sector but empowers any environment with video surveillance.

A Real-World Story: Global ID in Action

Imagine you're on the security team at a sprawling corporate campus. It's a typical busy morning when an alert pings: someone has entered the building without scanning their badge at the main entrance. Who are they? Where did they go? In a traditional setup, you'd be stuck reviewing footage from dozens of cameras, piecing together clues manually—a process that could take hours or even days.

That's where Global ID changes everything. Using traceVision, you simply input a description or a snapshot from the entry camera. Within minutes, the system assigns a Global ID to the individual and scans across all connected cameras. Suddenly, you have a full video playlist: the person weaving through the lobby, entering an elevator, stepping into a restricted floor, and even lingering near sensitive areas. You see their entire path mapped out chronologically, complete with timestamps and locations. No guesswork, no dead ends—just clear, actionable video evidence to resolve the incident swiftly and securely.

Why Global ID Stands Out 

There's no shortage of AI solutions promising to revolutionize video analytics, from basic motion detection to complex pattern recognition. But Global ID is different—it's not just an add-on; it's the core differentiator that sets traceVision apart. By enabling seamless re-ID and multi-camera continuity without relying on facial recognition or biometrics, and applying broadly across industries with minimal setup, it delivers real value where others fall short. In a sea of tools that often require expensive integrations, additional hardware, and immense effort or time to utilize, Global ID empowers you to get answers quickly from the cameras you already have.
