Questions · Engineering
What stages does a project go through?
Five, and always in the same order. Outline design: what is protected, on what criterion and to what scope, so you can decide before spending on detail. Detailed design: the design point by point, with drawings, specification and quantities. Execution: the installation work, with supervision on site and a record of what changes. Testing and commissioning: checking point by point against the tests that were written before anything was fitted. And handover: documentation, training, passwords and a maintenance plan.
The stage most often skipped is the first, and it is the cheapest of them all. An outline design of a couple of meetings avoids the conversation in which, with the work already under way, it turns out that the owner expected to be able to identify faces at the door and what was designed was seeing that somebody is there.
The one treated worst is testing, because it falls at the end, when the job is running late and everybody wants to sign. That is why the tests are written before anything is fitted: tests written afterwards get written so that whatever was fitted passes them.

See it working.
A written answer is enough to decide whether it interests you. To know whether it works at your site you have to see it on a real scene, with the image as it is and, on top of it, what the system understands from it. That is on the IRIS Neural website, which is the group's product.
