Zensors
By leveraging airports’ existing camera network, Zensors allows airports to answer critical business questions without deploying new hardware. Line and people counting, parking, even operations and cleanliness can be seen and sensed by our cloud-based AI. Our flagship TSA wait time system gives your passengers access to incredibly accurate estimated wait times for security at a fraction of the cost of other systems. Zensors’ technology uses your existing cameras — which dramatically decreases the cost of deployment and covers standard, TSA Pre, and priority pass members in a single solution.
