While data is stored with the highest protection, data may be aggregated and shared on a regional or global level. Aware analyses video feeds from both Ava and third-party cameras in real-time, and can be set up to send instant alarms based on rules and unusual activity detection.
Non-invasive digital experiences through live streaming
Ava cameras support live streaming to any website, which can be used to enable and promote non-invasive digital experiences of the heritage sites.
