Security operators monitor camera networks and investigate alerts, while responders handle incidents on-site. Their biggest challenge is not knowing the exact location of a camera or alert, which slows response and reduces operational efficiency.

In Q2–Q3 2026, we plan to enhance case management by visualizing the full timeline of each incident case on the map. This will allow security operators to see all collected evidence in context, making it easier to review and understand each case.

The 18% reduction in time to resolve showed how introducing geolocation can directly improve operational efficiency. Tracking this metric helped validate the design decisions behind the floor plan experience. It also reinforced the importance of using data to measure impact and guide future iterations.
