A few weeks ago, I spoke with two partners who integrated 3DiVi’s face recognition software into their video management systems (VMS). They’re now deploying 200–300 face recognition licenses per year, successfully serving the needs of small businesses.
Their results highlight a key takeaway: Integrated face recognition can give you a real competitive edge. The reasons behind this are explained here in my new article.

Lower Operational Costs 💸
Running a security system isn’t cheap, especially when it depends heavily on human monitoring. A typical operator can only focus on seven camera feeds at a time. Beyond that, you need more staff, and the costs add up quickly.
With automated face recognition and alerts, you can:
- Speed up incident investigations. What used to take 1–2 hours to search for in footage now takes just 7–15 minutes.
- Optimize the video analysis time. From 8-19 hours down to 1-2 hours.
- Reduce the overall investigation time. From 20-100 hours down to 14-65 hours.
- Cut the number of operators by up to 5 times. One person can handle much more with automation in place.
- Streamline alerts. Notifications can go straight to decision-makers without relying on operators to submit them.
- Maintain monitoring during breaks. Mobile apps ensure alerts reach staff even when they step away from their desks.
Stronger Security with Real-Time Detection 🔒
Face recognition system can instantly flag individuals with a history of suspicious activity and notify security in real time. This means faster responses to potential threats and better prevention overall.
Smarter Monitoring and Analytics 📊
Face recognition technology helps keep track of attendance and movement within a building or across a facility. It’s useful for understanding visitor flow, spotting peak times, and optimizing both staff operations and security protocols.
