What the Faceter mobile app is
The principal modern requirements for a video surveillance system are simplicity, convenience, efficiency, and reliability.
Faceter video surveillance is an optimally simple, self-explanatory solution for a mass user, presented on the Russian market in 2021.
The development team has removed everything unnecessary, simplifying the settings and functions to an intuitive option for video surveillance.
We are sure that absolutely any user wants to get a video monitoring system at no extra cost. There is such an opportunity! To implement it, you need 10-15 minutes and two mobile devices (smartphones).
History of development
There is no secret: the developers of the application saw a free economic niche in the segment of “convenient video surveillance solution for the mass user” and hastened to occupy it.
The niche emptiness is due to many barriers that exist in the video surveillance industry, such as:
available solutions are usually highly specialized;
lack of simple usability and complexity of use.
difficulties due to the disintegration of applied tasks for smart video analytics.
That is why the end of 2019 was marked by the entry into the Russian market of an innovative publicly available product – the Faceter application for mobile devices.
