smart buildings

Smarter buildings. On-premises.
Without the cloud.

Real-time occupancy, access control, and people analytics — running on cameras and door controllers, not in the cloud. Compatible with your existing building management system. No tenant data leaves the building.

Three things your buildings can do today.

Cut HVAC and lighting cost by responding to real occupancy.
Know which rooms, zones, and floors are actually occupied — in real time, without anyone uploading a camera feed to a server. HVAC, lighting, and ventilation respond to what’s happening, not what a calendar says.
Face-based door entry without a network dependency.
NovaEyeD runs detection, liveness, and recognition on the door controller itself. No cloud authentication round-trip. No biometric data leaving the building. Handles peak entry throughput without queuing.
Know how your spaces actually get used.
Real-time entry/exit counts at every doorway, density per zone, movement patterns floor by floor — all computed on edge cameras at the location. No video leaves the building. The data you get is anonymous count output, not images. 

On-premises. By design.

Every ModelNova smart building capability is architected so tenant data, video, and biometric features stay inside the building. Not as a deployment option — as the only way the system runs.

NovaEyeD

Biometric feature vectors are computed and stored on the access control device. Never transmitted, never centralized.

People counting & occupancy

Anonymous count output only. No biometric data captured. No images leave the camera.

All video inference

Frames are discarded after inference. Only inference outputs — counts, occupancy states, alerts — exit the device.

*Compatible with GDPR, regional data protection laws, and enterprise data governance policies — no special processing agreements required for standard occupancy and access control deployments.

What this looks like in production.

A representative deployment, based on the silicon and models we ship today.

A 400,000 sq ft corporate campus deploys across twelve floors. HVAC zoning responds to real-time occupancy data — energy use drops 22-28% versus calendar-based scheduling. NovaEyeD handles main-entrance access control at peak throughput: 800 employees through the doors between 8:30 and 9:15 AM, no queueing, no cloud round-trip. People counting at every internal doorway feeds space-utilization analytics to the facilities team.

Total tenant data leaving the building: zero.
