Our Solution
Discover Epic iO’s DeepInsights solution that not only gives you an open AIoT platform packed with out-of-the-box AI, IoT sensors, and cameras, but also the freedom to add your device as your needs change.
Also, our edge compute gateway UIG serves as the hardware device that connects cameras and IoT sensors and manages AI computing and video storage – all in one box at the edge. Epic iO’s AI software can quickly detect abnormal behavior such as a traffic incident, suspicious activity, or a crime in progress, and have an agent flag the event to respond accordingly in real-time.
SCaaS is Designed for:
Citywide Video Monitoring
Capture and document citywide activities on green areas, parking lots, public buildings, etc., to further enhance public safety with video storage at the edge that can ben automatically pulled to a central dashboard, DeepInsights, for on-demand visualization and legal compliance
Vandalism & Graffiti
Protect important city assets by monitoring them through AI-based analytics and IoT sensors, and react immediately persuading perpetrators via loudspeakers “voice-down” or escalating to law enforcement authorities through our 24/7 event monitoring service.
City Parks Security
Enhance park safety with AI-based analytics alerting on perimeter intrusion, loitering detection, among others, persuading perpetrators via loudspeakers “voice-down” or escalating to law enforcement authorities through our 24/7 event monitoring service.
Illegal Dumping
Deter dumpers that can potentially harm the health of the community and the environment by detecting individuals or vehicles that are disposing garbage in prohibited areas in the city through AI-based loitering analytics and vehicles recognition through LPR, make, model, color. React immediately persuading individuals via loudspeakers “voice-down” through our 24/7 event monitoring service. Additionally, the video of the incident is collected automatically to enforce laws and issue illegal dumping applicable fines.
Remote Video Monitoring Trailer

Remotely controlled smart lights though IoT allows HOAs to reduce power bills significantly, providing the exact levels of lights where and when it is needed. Lights management, smart dimming and energy consumption levels can be controlled through a centralized DeepInsights dashboard.
Dumpster Monitoring
Waste collection can be improved through IoT by tracking waste levels in cans, ensuring it’s being used properly (for the right type of waste), and optimizing collection schedules for the waste management company, improving environmental conditions of the HOA community.
Healthy Living
HOAs are able to understand and improve the health conditions of the community through IoT edge sensors that measure and monitor air pollutant levels, noise levels, water quality, soil moisture, among others.
License Plate Recongnition (LPR)
Allows for the scanning of vehicles that could be involved in security events or traffic incidents as they pass by from multiple cameras, capture vehicle images, and convert them into a readable and searchable license plate, make, model and color data, plus an associated video clip per vehicle for evidence. Matching against integrated law enforcement databases allows to automatically detect blacklisted vehicles.
Intersection Traffic Analysis
Automatically assess traffic at the intersection, quantify vehicle traffic, and report traffic congestion, stopped vehicles, wrong way drivers and more in order to alert on incidents in real-time, decrease accidents and make data-driven decisions.
Transit Signal Priority
Provides signal traffic priority to first responders and public transportation to have a smooth trip. Through IoT sensors mounted on emergency and public transportation vehicles and receivers in the traffic lights, a central traffic controller can securely request a temporary right of way.
Street Illegal Parking Detection
Gather information on parking spot availability at public spaces as well as report illegal parking situations for fines issuance.
Crosswalk Safety
Recognize vehicles and pedestrians to monitor foot and vehicle traffic, detect near hit accidents, and quantify pedestrians waiting to cross in order to decrease accidents and alert on incidents in real-time.
Roadway Traffic Analysis
Recognize vehicles in a roadway or highway reporting illegal turns, wrong way drivers, vehicle double line crossing, wrong lane, jaywalking, among others to alert in real-time and to gather valuable data to make informed roadway planning and management decisions.
Mass Transit Public WiFi
Provides WiFi for public transportation to increase the quality of life of commuters and accessibility.
Parking Lot Security
Identify suspicious activity in the parking lot through AI-based analytics such as loitering, and other suspicious activities, and automatically report blacklisted vehicles through LPR combined with 24/7 event monitoring.
Healthy Living
Capture and document activities on playground areas, parking lots, park perimeters, park restrooms, etc., to further enhance public safety with video storage at the edge that can be automatically pulled to a central dashboard, DeepInsights, for on-demand visualization and legal compliance.
Visitor Attendance Analytics
Gather visitors information and insights through AI-based analytics, showing the areas where people spend the most time, leading to deeper insights about which features are working to increase park visitation.
