HPT SmartTrak – AI Vision Platform for Security and Operations

HPT SmartTrak is an image data platform developed by HPT, utilizing AI Computer Vision to convert data from cameras into searchable information, metrics, alerts, and connectivity, serving security, safety, operation, compliance, and analytics on a unified platform.

Businesses record continuously 24/7 but fail to extract effective insights

Most video data is never viewed, never analyzed, does not show up in reports, and is typically only retrieved after an incident occurs.

While ERPs can look up orders, HRMs can check attendance, and BMS can monitor equipment status, video data from cameras primarily exists in unstructured video format. As systems expand across multiple sites, stages, and device brands, the gap between the volume of collected data and the actionable information extracted only widens.

Find specific events

Reduce the review time when searching for the right moment amid thousands of hours of recordings.

Transform images into metrics

Utilize camera data for statistics, reporting, and decision support processes.

Consolidate data

Manage multiple locations, camera brands, and investment stages on one platform.

Detection and Alerting

Assist in detecting incidents as they occur and send alerts to the appropriate processing team.

Data Management

Control access rights, action history, and scope of data as required by governance.

This is not about buying more cameras; it’s about data: the mountain of image data that already exists needs to be structured so it can be searched, measured, and connected to the rest of the enterprise.

From passive recording devices to an image data platform

HPT SmartTrak employs AI Computer Vision to convert video streams into structured data. Each event captured by the camera becomes a record tagged with time, location, type of entity, and corresponding identification attributes.

From that data layer, businesses can mine for multiple purposes: security, safety, operations, compliance, and analytics, all on a unified platform instead of investing in multiple disparate systems for each need.

On a unified interface, SmartTrak integrates the video management system (VMS) with an AI Vision analytics layer: live viewing and playback, search for events by conditions, object recognition and tracking, vehicle plate management, operational data statistics, setting up alert rules, and connecting data to other business systems.

Structuring Events

Searchable image data

The key differentiator of SmartTrak is not just being able to store more videos, but in the ability to transform videos into searchable, measurable, and shareable data between systems.

Data Structuring at the Source

SmartTrak extracts each event into independent records consisting of timestamps, camera, area, type of entity, identification records, and vehicle plate numbers.

Conditional Retrieval

Users can search by time period, camera group, event type, and specific entities, instead of manually fast-forwarding through video.

Linking Data Across Cameras

Multiple appearances of a person across different cameras are aggregated by time order to assist in reconstructing the movement path.

Search Using Natural Language

Users can input free-text descriptions in Vietnamese, and the system returns relevant events from the cameras along with timestamps and related images.

Consolidate Multiple Locations and Camera Brands

Cameras installed over various stages and from multiple suppliers at different branches are brought together to a unified data layer.

Data Source for Digital Ecosystems

SmartTrak provides APIs and webhooks to share events for control out to, BMS, ERP, alert systems, or internal reporting platforms.

Image data supporting decision-making

SmartTrak's analytics module aggregates structured event data into metrics over time, area, and entity type, helping businesses integrate image data into monitoring processes and into decision-making.

Over time

Aggregate by hour, day, week, and month to identify peak hours and unusual fluctuations.

By area and camera

Compare event densities among monitored locations to determine priority intervention points.

By vehicles

Compile entry and exit counts by plate number, time range, and list of authorized vehicles.

By People Flow

Count people entering and exiting by area and show concentration density when appropriate modules are deployed.

By Alerts

Track quantities, types, and areas generating alerts to help refine operational rules.

Aggregate Reporting

Display metrics in chart formats and detailed tables, facilitating report export and automated distribution on schedule.

Integration with IoT, RTLS, and other operational systems

In most organizations, cameras are not the only data source. IoT sensors, RTLS (Real-Time Location Systems), access control, BMS, and other operational systems capture different pieces of information of the same operational activities.

SmartTrak is designed to merge these data layers, providing image data with contextual support for information from sensors, location data, and operational systems.

Some real-world applications already deployed

Barrier and Gate Control

Assist in opening barriers when plates and facial recognition are on the permitted list and still valid.

Access Control

Synchronize validation events with camera images at the same door and at the same time.

RTLS Ontrak

Cross-reference the position of location tags with camera images by area and time.

Warning Lights and Alarm Speakers

Trigger alerts based on alert rules to convey information to the appropriate area on-site.

Data exchange methods

  • Push events in real-time through webhooks when there are alerts, identification results, or recorded license plates.
  • Allow other systems to query data through APIs to retrieve event information, statistical metrics, or camera status.
  • Receive signals from external devices and systems to trigger actions based on integration scenarios.
  • Synchronize business data such as personnel records or authorized vehicle lists as per project scope.

Image data governance and protection of personal data

SmartTrak offers tools to help businesses control access, monitor actions, manage login sessions, and the lifecycle of data, while prioritizing an on-premise deployment model on customer-controlled infrastructure.
