The exhibition, under the CANON SMART SOLUTIONS FOR BETTER LIVING concept, is divided into 3 zones: 1) Smart Surveillance 2) Smart Workplace and 3) Smart Industry.

1. SMART SURVEILLANCE
Identity verification and surveillance control are among the systems that can build trust and add an extra layer of security for organizations. Offices and factories now seek security solutions to keep their premises safe and secure.

• Access Control: Proactively monitor and manage access and exit points in real-time and from any location, 24/7.
• Face Recognition and People Counting: Identify, count, and manage the number of people in an area to provide the appropriate security and guidance to crowds.
• Face masking (Privacy Control): Keep the customers’ privacy with face masking embedded in the video.
• Audio and Video Threat Detection: Detect shouting and cries for help or the appearance of a weapon for more proactive surveillance.
• Body Worn Cameras: Record interactions with the public or gather video evidence at crime scenes. This technology can quickly de-escalate any unexpected situations.
• AI-Driven Video Analytics: Incorporate AI-powered capabilities in the cameras to analyze photos and objects and alert other systems.

Canon provides a lineup of smart solutions that meet different security needs of businesses and organizations:

• Network Camera: AXIS, a brand under Canon Group, offers a full range of network cameras and imaging devices such as Axis Lightfinder that can capture detailed color images in low-light conditions. Axis Forensic WDR enhances the ability to capture details in a challenging light.
• Recording & Video Management System (VMS): Canon Group’s Milestone supports both NVR (Network Video Recorder) available with the Milestone Husky model, which features a ready-made data recorder that is easy to install and operate, and the server-based mechanism of the Milestone XPROTECT version that works on Software VMS (Video Management Solution) which can be installed on the server to manage cameras and record images with ease. By scaling up the server, the system is scalable as desired.
• Video Content Analytics: Canon and AXIS cameras come with Canon's high-resolution imaging technology that can be processed directly on the camera. It allows for passing detection, object moving detection, camera tampering detection, and unexpected volume detection, for instance, the sound of breaking glass. The solution also features the software that can count people coming in and out, and facilitate human analysis such as age and gender. Apart from other usages, this is ideal for marketing purposes where inbound visitors to a specific area need to be analyzed or the detection of registered license plates is required.
• Video Synopsis: Briefcam’s software can summarize several video clips, perform data extraction, and carry out advanced analysis: for example, video recording and analysis of objects, people or items contained in the video (colors, people, vehicles, speed, directions, and the time they appear). These can be used for searching or further analysis, especially when detecting vehicles making an illegal U-turn or measuring the distance between people (proximity).

2. SMART WORKPLACE
Many offices around the world are transitioning into digital workplaces. The pandemic has an important role in accelerating the transition. Workplaces are in urgent need for smart workplace systems.

To respond to the demands of both Work from Home and Hybrid Workplace methods, Canon offers a full range of Smart Workplace Solutions to drive workspaces toward digital transformation. The solution features workflow management for those working at home and at the office, empowering productivity, and a complete smart office transformation.

• Smart Face Recognition Access Control & Visitor Management: This all-in-one attendance management solution comes with an AI-powered CCTV system that helps detect human faces and record the time of entry and exit while connecting the data to the Human Resource management system. The Visitor Management System can manage entries of visitors. The system allows visitors to pre-register for entry via a QR code sent to them prior to the visit. The system can record and recognize the face of the pre-registered visitors, and upon arrival, without the need for support from the receptionist.
• Smart Meeting & Collaboration: The solution offers efficient and easy-to-use meeting room display & booking control. The system can be connected to Microsoft Outlook and Google Workspace (G Suite), enabling employees to reserve meeting rooms online. It also comes with a Room Display feature, a digital display screen installed in front of the meeting room showing reservation status, and reservation of the room can also be easily done on the screen. The system also comes with an interactive display and video conferencing capabilities, with an installed camera and high-quality sound system, compatible with both Windows and Android operating systems. In addition, it can connect wirelessly with a smartphone, tablet, or laptop, up to 4 devices simultaneously, where control can be done simply from a mobile application, enabling a smooth and efficient collaboration.
• Smart Cloud Printing & Scanning: uniFLOW Online is a secure, public cloud print and scan solution for businesses of all sizes, facilitating the management of their entire print and scan environment. Combined with Canon’s multi-function system, businesses will see smoother operations, enhanced security, and improved cost management throughout the print process.

3. SMART INDUSTRY
