Sentient Systems develops restricted-area and heat detection for event monitoring
South Korean company Sentient Systems is developing AI tools to help monitor events and industrial sites.
Its system provided live video and crowd-density analysis at a Red Bull event in Seoul and EDC Korea 2026 in October.
The new restricted-area feature flags people crossing boundaries or lingering in places such as backstage equipment zones.
Another feature links thermal-camera readings to regular video, showing where temperatures are unusually high.
It alerts staff to possible overheating or fire locations, but does not identify the cause automatically.
People or objects blocking the camera can reduce detection accuracy, and each area needs its own settings.
The company is also working on resource-recycling technology at an industrial complex in Yeosu, South Korea, including sludge-drying controls and odor analysis.
The performance of that work is due to be tested during the project, and the company says it plans to expand cooperation with businesses and public agencies.
Sentient Systems said it is developing restricted-area detection and thermal-camera integration for event monitoring.
The company supplied AI crowd-monitoring systems at a Red Bull event in Seoul and EDC Korea 2026 in October.
The restricted-area feature is designed to flag people crossing boundaries, moving against a set direction or staying too long in controlled spaces.
The thermal-camera feature highlights hot spots on a regular camera image to help staff inspect equipment and nearby conditions.
The company also participates in a resource-circulation project at the Yeosu National Industrial Complex.

What people are saying
This is not a function that automatically determines the cause of a fire, but a function that identifies locations where overheating or fire is suspected and helps with on-site inspection
