Pulses on campus
For universities and schools that want to see how rooms are really used and plan space from it. Pulses Vision Devices on the ceiling of each room and entry turn what they see into counts on the device. Pulses Ops shows how many people are in each room by hour, so booked rooms that sit empty stand out, along with crowding in corridors at class change and headcounts in libraries and cafeterias, with an alert to staff as an area nears capacity. Pulses Compliance alerts security to someone in a lab, server room or chemical store out of hours, and keeps each alert as an anonymous record for your audits. Exam halls have their own use case (exam integrity). What leaves the device is anonymous data, not video.
Booked rooms, empty seats.
Bookings show the plan, not how many turn up. Pulses OS shows real use, room by room.
How it works
Pulses Vision Devices sit over building entries, classrooms, libraries and car parks.

Zone counts during evacuation
How many people are in each zone, live, so wardens know where to check first.
-
After-hours alerts
People in buildings or car parks after hours send an alert to security.

-
A record for each alert

Why Pulses on campus
Insights, not images.

Questions from campus teams
What is an occupancy monitoring system and how does it work?
An occupancy view shows how full a space is. On campus, Pulses OS shows how many people are in each room, library and cafeteria, live and by hour, from Pulses Vision Devices on the ceiling. Staff get an alert as an area nears capacity, and planners see which booked rooms sit empty. Pulses OS shows room counts and times, not who was there.
How can exam halls detect cheating with mobile phones?
For physical exam halls, Pulses pairs a Pulses Vision device on the ceiling with a sensor at each desk for any powered device nearby. When both point to the same desk, they meet in one alert for the hall supervisor, and your staff review it. We make no claim about detection rates; your team sets the pilot's success criteria.
Can I add AI analytics to my existing CCTV cameras?
Yes. Pulses works alongside your CCTV and does not replace it. Customers who want to reuse their existing CCTV feeds can connect them to the on-premise Pulses Appliance, which processes them on site. Pulses Vision Devices go where a job needs accuracy, such as rooms and entries, and process on the device in real time.
