Are your entrances and exits congested at the same times every day?
Bottlenecks at gates and in corridors are felt daily but rarely measured. Knowing flows by time of day, anonymously, helps stagger dismissals or reorganise access points.
Smart Vision for education
Better-organised schools through measured flows, with no one identified
VIDEO.MA uses your existing cameras or new equipment to measure entrance flows, cafeteria and common-area occupancy, and to flag after-hours intrusions. Processing runs on Edge AI and produces only anonymous, aggregated counts.
What it is costing you today
Free auditAre your spaces sized for how they are really used?
A canteen saturated on a single sitting or a common room that sits unused means resources are poorly allocated. Measuring space occupancy helps organise time slots and investment decisions.
How many intrusions onto the premises do you notice too late?
Entry through an unexpected area, outside opening hours, is often discovered after the fact. Alerts on defined zones let you react sooner, without ever identifying pupils or staff.

Industry challenges
Unanticipated peak flows
Arrivals, departures and class changes create congestion that is hard to quantify, making supervision staffing difficult to plan.
Overcrowded cafeteria and common areas
Without reliable occupancy data, it is hard to adjust meal services, time slots or the layout of shared spaces.
After-hours intrusions
Premises remain exposed in the evenings, at weekends and during holidays, while existing cameras are rarely watched continuously.
Congested drop-off area
The school surroundings and the bus and car drop-off area become hard to manage at peak times, with real safety implications.
VIDEO.MA
What VIDEO.MA delivers
Anonymous entrance and exit counting
Per projectAggregated counts of passages at main entrances, by time slot, with no identification of individuals.
Cafeteria occupancy
Per projectEstimated occupancy of the dining hall during each service, to adjust time slots and supervision.
Common-area occupancy
Per projectMeasurement of footfall in halls, courtyards, libraries or student lounges, to support layout decisions with data.
Restricted-zone alerts
Per projectPresence detection in defined zones (plant rooms, rooftops, laboratories) according to configurable time windows.
After-hours intrusion alerts
Per projectNotification when presence is detected on site outside opening hours, in addition to the existing alarm system.
Drop-off area vehicle flow
Per projectVehicle counts and occupancy of the drop-off and bus areas during arrival and departure times.

Deployment approach
- 1
Audit and feasibility study
Site visit covering entrances, cafeteria and surroundings, inventory of existing cameras and scoping of indicators with management, within the constraints that apply to minors.
- 2
Zone and indicator configuration
Definition of counting lines, occupancy zones, restricted zones and alert time windows.
- 3
Limited-scope pilot
Go-live on one entrance or space, verification of counting accuracy and fine-tuning of thresholds.
- 4
Rollout and follow-up
Extension to other zones, training for administrative staff, and maintenance of equipment and models.
Prerequisites, limitations and privacy
- No identification of students or staff: processing produces only anonymous, aggregated counts, with no facial recognition or biometrics.
- Processing runs on Edge AI, close to the cameras, to limit the circulation of images.
- As data controller, the school must complete the formalities required by Moroccan Law 09-08 with the CNDP and inform families; VIDEO.MA can help prepare the file.
- Intrusion alerts complement the existing alarm system and security procedures; they do not replace them.
- Classrooms, toilets and changing rooms must not be subject to video analysis.
Frequently asked questions
Can students be identified?
No. The solutions offered to schools produce only aggregated counts and occupancy rates. No facial recognition or biometric identification is used.
Can we use the cameras already installed?
Often, yes. The initial audit checks each camera’s angle, resolution and lighting. Where a position does not allow reliable counting, repositioning or an additional camera may be recommended.
What CNDP formalities are required?
The school, as data controller, must declare or obtain authorisation for the processing under Law 09-08 and inform the people concerned. VIDEO.MA can provide the technical description of the processing to support these steps.
Do after-hours alerts replace an alarm system?
No. They add a complementary layer of information, useful for checking a detection. The certified alarm system and guarding procedures remain the reference.
