Validate the idea — before committing to the hardware.

A client sought to better understand how frequently bathroom facilities were being used to inform maintenance schedules and improve service efficiency. They wanted to explore whether their existing CCTV infrastructure could provide these insights before investing in a dedicated sensor-based solution. The challenge was to demonstrate the feasibility and business value of monitoring usage patterns quickly and cost-effectively, without committing to large upfront expenditure.

Our approach

Two weeks. Existing cameras. A dashboard executives can read.

BI3 designed and delivered a two-week proof of concept using existing CCTV footage from cameras positioned outside bathroom entrances. Video analytics detected entry-exit patterns, surfacing usage levels, peak times, and daily/weekly trends in a Power BI dashboard. The POC demonstrated feasibility and built the foundation of a business case for full-scale sensor implementation.

The Technology

Video analytics as a feasibility tool.

Eye4.ai turned existing cameras into a fast, low-cost feasibility platform — proving the value of usage analytics before committing to permanent infrastructure. Beyond bathrooms, the same pattern accelerates business cases across operational use cases.
