- Spotting things
- Vehicles, safety gear, products, animals, tools, smoke and fire
- Reading movement
- Falls, fights, hand at the till, lying down, reaching, carrying
- Following one visit, without faces

What it will never do
These are not in any plan, at any price. Read what seeq. keeps.
Never built
seeq. does not offer these at any site, on any plan.
Face recognition to identify customers, workers, residents or students
Sri Lanka Personal Data Protection Act. seeq. follows people only within one visit, without faces.
Age, gender, ethnicity or emotion estimation
Privacy and legal risk. Reports never split people by these traits.
Productivity scores for individual workers
seeq. reports on lines, teams or the whole site, never on one person.
Cameras in private spaces: toilets, fitting and changing rooms, treatment rooms, bedrooms
Privacy. Fitting-room features use a camera outside the room only.
Using seeq. as the only safety system for fire, drowning, blasting or medical emergencies
Safety-critical. Smoke and fire on camera is an extra warning and never replaces detectors.
Identifying children in any form
Minors need the strongest protection. Gate counts are totals only.
Traffic enforcement without the relevant authority
Only with the road authority, never alone.
Drowning detection
Not offered: safety-critical.
