Where map-based tracking is worked operationally: an alert becomes a route the desk can follow while it is still happening, with every step logged against the operator.

Multi-Camera Object Tracking across the Whole Estate
Follow a subject across the whole estate. An investigation is rarely one camera, so IREX assembles a route: the operator confirms a match and then follows the subject through the estate in either direction in time, rather than collecting clips and reconstructing the sequence by hand.
How It Works
Tracking on the Map, Both Directions in Time
From a match, the operator moves camera to camera on the map, forwards to establish where a subject went and backwards to establish where they came from. Detailed object tracking works on indoor floor plans as well as the street map, so a station, a campus, or a venue is as navigable as a road network.
Tracking draws on whichever identifier is available. Faces where the face is visible; appearance-based re-identification where it is not, built from clothing texture, hat and hair color, and accessories such as bags and backpacks; plate and vehicle attributes for vehicles.
Every step is bound to the same Case ID as the search that began it, and written to the append-only audit log. A track is therefore a record of an investigation, not an untraceable trawl.
In Operation
On the Global Map and on the Floor Plan
Map Labeling and Smart Search Cut the Clicking
Advanced map labeling and smart map search reduce the distance between a question and an answer. Cameras cluster and split again as the operator zooms, so a network at city scale stays readable, and the route drawn across it carries the travel direction, the camera locations, and the first and last events. Partners report investigation time falling by 100x or more against manual playback with a motion detector.
Indoors, the Route Continues on the Floor Plan
Once a subject enters a building the operator switches from the street map to that building’s plan, and the route continues inside it. From an event, a persons or vehicles list, or an alarm monitor, “Build a route” maps the path for the chosen time frame with travel direction, camera locations, and the first and last events, while a “Buildings Found” panel lists every plan the route touches, grouped by building. The plans carry the camera icons themselves, so each one shows its exact position and view direction. IREX applies a plan as a detailed spatial overlay on the street map rather than as an interior-only view, which is why it also works across large outdoor sites such as airports, campuses, and parks. Floor-plan tracking shipped in version 4.35.
Where It Runs
The Estates a Route Is Drawn Across
A route is only as useful as the estate it crosses, so the same tracking runs on a street network, a terminal floor plan and a campus corridor without changing the workflow.
Law Enforcement
From a report to a route in one tool, which is the point of the whole exercise: where the subject came from matters as much as where they went.

Terminals, gate concourses and baggage halls, where the street map runs out and the floor plan takes over without breaking the case.

Stations and interchanges, where a subject moves between platforms, levels and lines faster than an operator can follow on camera thumbnails.

Corridor tracking inside buildings, so responders arrive knowing where somebody is now rather than where they were seen once.

A network at city scale stays readable because cameras cluster and split again as the operator zooms, instead of covering the map in pins.

Does tracking work if the subject changes clothes?
Face recognition and vehicle attributes are unaffected. Appearance-based re-identification is built on clothing and accessories, so a change of clothes does break that particular signal, which is exactly why the platform combines identifiers rather than relying on one.
Can we track indoors?
Yes. Detailed object tracking runs on floor plans as well as the street map, so corridors, platforms, and concourses are navigable at the level operators work.
Is a track auditable?
Yes, and it is the point. Every step is bound to the same Case ID as the originating search and written to an append-only, tamper-evident log that supervisors and independent oversight bodies can read.
Does this run on its own or does someone have to watch it?
It runs on its own and alerts a person. Detections are signals for a human to verify: no response runs autonomously, and the verification and decision are logged against the same Case ID as the detection.

The fastest way to judge this is to re-run an investigation you already solved and see how long it takes.
