Advanced Shoplifting Detection AI That Sees What Others Miss
Powered by state-of-the-art pose detection and behavior analysis
Stop shoplifting before it happens with smart behavior analysis that fits right into your existing security setup. Instant, accurate alerts help your team act fast—no noise, just results.
The Power Behind Real-Time Shoplifting Detection
Our agent doesn’t rely on any one signal to raise an alarm. Instead, it continuously evaluates pose, object, and behavior signals to calculate a suspicious behavior score. Alerts are only triggered when the score crosses a dynamic threshold—reducing false positives and ensuring only real threats are flagged.
Advanced Pose Detection
Understands body language, not just movement
Dragonfruit's Shoplifting Detection agent tracks full-body skeletal posture to spot unnatural or suspicious motions, like bending to conceal items, turning away from cameras, or hovering in high-risk zones. This goes far beyond traditional motion detection.
Precise Object Estimation
Knows what's in hand, and what shouldn't be
Our agent estimates object size, shape, and location in real time, enabling detection of actions like hiding merchandise in bags or swapping products. It spots the interaction between people and products, not just where people move.
Real-Time Behavior Modeling
Catches the why, not just the what
Using historical patterns and contextual clues, Dragonfruit’s Shoplifting Detection AI aget identifies behaviors that match known theft tactics, like circling a display repeatedly, approaching items from blind spots, etc. The AI adapts over time to new shoplifting strategies.
