AI Solutions for Education
Transform school safety, security and situational awareness with real-time visual intelligence
Most K-12 and higher education schools today use closed-circuit cameras to monitor daily activities—barely scratching the surface of the valuable insights housed inside their visual data. SparkCognition transforms schools’ underutilized video feeds into a proactive analytics platform to rapidly enhance school safety, security, and situational awareness across your campus.

Proven Value
“Cutting edge technologies, like AI-based predictive analytics, are key enablers to improving the efficiency of our operations and meeting our ambition to become a net-zero company by 2050 or sooner. Working collaboratively with SparkCognition, we have delivered this project in an agile way.”

Gain proactive awareness with proven visual AI solutions for education
Typical education security solutions include dozens or even hundreds of cameras. However, these video feeds are predominantly used for retrospective playback—looking back in time to investigate what happened after incidents have already occurred. If and when school security personnel monitor the live video feeds, it’s far-fetched that they can spot and react to everything happening on every camera efficiently or reliably.
Advances in AI technology are revolutionizing how schools can use their existing camera infrastructure for safety, security, and situational awareness. School cameras equipped with advanced computer vision technology (Visual AI) can analyze multiple data feeds in real-time to identify issues as they occur and initiate immediate mitigating action when time is of the essence.

SparkCognition’s AI-powered education security solution to automatically detect and alert on active shooter threats
Recent active shooter events have made it devastatingly clear that more robust school security solutions are needed to safeguard students, teachers, and staff from these types of unpredictable attacks. SparkCognition Visual AI Advisor integrates rapidly with your school’s existing closed-circuit cameras to detect, alert, track and prevent security threats in real time, 24/7.
When Visual AI Advisor recognizes behavior indicative of an active shooter situation—a person with a gun, someone needing first aid, a door propped open suspiciously, or many other security-focused use cases—it automatically warns safety personnel while maintaining vigilance as the situation develops.

Visual AI and school safety: A scalable approach to keep schools safer day to day
In addition to security use cases, Visual AI Advisor draws from an expansive commercially-proven library of over 120 pre-built machine learning models to raise school safety to a new standard.
With its ability to learn, understand, and react to complex scenes and multi-frame activities, Visual AI Advisor can be used for fire detection, fire safety, slip and fall prevention, unauthorized/unsafe behavior in designated areas, and many other scenarios. Visual AI Advisor helps you prevent adverse outcomes and enhance existing safety systems with performance and accuracy levels exceeding human ability.

Unlock visual AI solutions for education to drive situational awareness insights
Connecting your video intelligence to real-world actions enables your school to avoid catastrophic incidents and learn from daily activities. Visual AI Advisor integrates streaming data from multiple locations into one central dashboard tracking safety, security, and situational awareness issues across your school.
For example, you can detect whether students are wearing masks properly during a pandemic, measure footfall through corridors to plan safe evacuation routes, track cigarette smoking or vaping, study hazardous vehicle traffic in your parking lot, etc. Filtering by zone, time frame, or type of violation helps you discover trends and design better safety and security practices.
