Aile Power is targeting Nigerian businesses with Panora Smart Wireless Camera, an AI-powered surveillance solution designed to provide security monitoring without the wiring and installation requirements associated with traditional CCTV systems.
Faith Jerry, Founder and CEO of Aile Power, said the product was developed with the everyday realities of Nigerian businesses in mind. ‘Many business owners want reliable security, but the cost, time and disruption of installing a full wired CCTV system hold them back. Panora was built to remove those barriers so that monitoring becomes something they can set up and manage themselves.’
The company is positioning the product as an option for small and medium-sized businesses that need to monitor offices, shops, warehouses, car parks and other business premises while keeping installation and maintenance requirements low.
Traditional CCTV systems often require wired cameras, cabling, a digital video recorder and professional installation. Once installed, moving cameras or expanding coverage can also require technical support and additional costs.
Panora uses a battery-powered camera that connects to Wi-Fi and allows users to access live footage, recorded clips and security alerts through the VicoHome Smart Home Camera application on iOS and Android devices.
The camera comes with a magnetic mount, allowing users to move it between locations without reinstalling fixed wiring. This can be useful for businesses with changing layouts, temporary locations or multiple areas that require monitoring.
The system also uses artificial intelligence to identify different types of activity. It can distinguish between people, vehicles and packages and send alerts when a relevant event is detected.
For a business monitoring a stockroom entrance after working hours, for example, the system can notify the owner when human activity is detected. Businesses with loading areas or car parks can also use vehicle detection to monitor activity around their premises.
This reduces the need to continuously watch recorded footage and allows business owners to focus on events that require attention.
Panora also includes two-way audio, allowing users to communicate with people near the camera through the application. A business owner away from the premises can therefore view activity and communicate with staff or visitors remotely.
The wireless design is also intended to reduce the work involved in installing surveillance equipment. Unlike wired systems that require cables to connect cameras to recording equipment, Panora can be positioned without fixed camera wiring.
The camera has an IP67 rating for protection against dust and water, allowing it to be used in outdoor areas such as building entrances, business perimeters and car parks.
Remote access through the VicoHome application also allows users to monitor their premises from outside the business location, providing access to live footage and alerts through an internet connection.
Aile Power is positioning Panora as part of its wider effort to expand access to AI-powered smart technology in Nigeria. The company is targeting a market that includes businesses looking for security systems that can be installed without major infrastructure work.
For small and medium-sized enterprises, the cost of installing, maintaining and modifying traditional surveillance systems can influence decisions about security coverage. Panora’s wireless design addresses the installation requirement while its AI features are intended to reduce the amount of footage users need to review.
The product gives businesses another option for physical security, combining wireless installation, remote monitoring, activity detection and two-way communication in one system.
As Nigerian businesses continue to review their security needs, Aile Power is seeking to position Panora as an alternative for companies that want surveillance coverage without the fixed infrastructure associated with conventional CCTV.
