Anyone With Experience Using Anyvision FR In Retail?

We are planning to test Anyvision soon, Anyvision asked us to wait until their next release which is planned for later this month.

I'll ask Anyvision if they have any case studies or reference in retail.

I would be curious to see how it works. For example, let's assume it works really well but obviously, you can't be 100% positive even with visual verification, do store employees walk up to people? Kick them out? Follow them closely throughout the store? Curious #1 if you have any thoughts on that?

We have been testing Anyvision for a while and will be installing a couple of POCs in different verticals in the upcoming weeks.  We have 2 PTZ cameras running Anyvison running on a city street both not mounted in ideal positions and I am impressed at how well it detects and matches faces.   

We tested it in one of our Retail stores. The bosses all seemed pretty impressed, and appear to be going forward with a purchase for a few more stores.

It's is extreemly neccessary function for retail!  

A number of posters were either in testing mode or about to test.  Any updates?  What about the commercial side of things.  Is the software and hardware required affordable relative to the problem it's intended to solve? Historically video analytics have been a thousand dollar fix for a hundred dollar problem.

I'm concerned about the governance features. I hope the IPVM write-up addresses that. There needs to be a good GUI for setting up user permissions, purging data and reporting to show trends across incidents. The analytic might work great, but with the fearful climate of data privacy, if their management tools aren't at least on par with the competition, they can write off any opportunity with knowledgeable retail clients.
