Shopping Cart Tracker
Real-time tracking of shopping carts within retail environments
The primary objective of the Shopping Cart Tracking Camera App is to mitigate theft and unauthorized exit of shopping carts from retail premises. The app aims to enhance the security measures of retail stores by providing real-time detection and tracking of shopping carts, specifically identifying and alerting when a cart crosses the shopping gates in the wrong direction. This proactive approach intends to reduce losses, improve store security, and ensure a safe shopping environment for customers.

- Integration with Video Management Systems (VMS): Seamlessly connects with VMS to trigger alarms and notifications when a cart is detected moving towards the exit in the wrong direction, allowing for immediate action by security personnel.
- Web-Based Frontend: Offers a web-based interface designed for store managers or security personnel, enabling easy access and control directly from a browser without the need for additional software installation.
- Customizable Alerts: Allows for the customization of alert triggers and notifications, ensuring that security personnel receive timely and relevant information.
Possible Additional Objectives and Scenarios
