AI AudienceSense turns every face into the right content

A screen that plays the same loop all day says nothing to the person standing in front of it. CAYIN SMP players come with built-in AI AudienceSense facial recognition, so a connected camera lets the player detect a viewer's gender, age and headcount in real time and switch to matching content automatically.

  • Works with one built-in camera by default; scale up to 4 cameras for wider coverage or multiple locations, compatible with QNAP QVR Face Tiger and QVR Face Insight.
  • Analyzes gender, age and the number of viewers in real time, with no face images or personal data stored.
  • Switches back to the default main loop automatically the moment no viewer is detected.
  • Add a CAYIN CMS server to push new targeted content and schedules to every player from one place.

How AI AudienceSense works

USB, Wireless or Lan Port USB / IPCamera MaleAge: 25 SMP Player

One camera connects straight to the SMP Player over a USB, wireless or LAN port. AI AudienceSense is built in, so no extra server is needed.

USB, Wireless or Lan Port MaleAge: 25 SMP Player NAS USB / IPCamera

Cameras connect to a QNAP NAS running QVR Face Tiger or Face Insight, which passes the result to the SMP Player. Supports up to 4 cameras for wider coverage.

Solution structure, two setups. With the SMP Player only, one camera connects over a USB, wireless or LAN port straight to the player, which has AI AudienceSense built in. With a NAS, up to 4 cameras connect to a QNAP NAS running QVR Face Tiger or Face Insight, which passes the result to the player. In both setups the viewer's gender, age and headcount are detected in real time without storing any face image or personal data, and the player shows matched content on the digital signage screen.

See it in action

Three ways AI AudienceSense matches content

A viewer's detected gender, age and headcount can each trigger a different piece of content, right on the same SMP player.

Gender

Show a version of an ad or promotion matched to a detected male or female viewer.

Age

Switch to content designed for a detected age range, from kids to seniors.

Number of viewers

Trigger group-oriented content, such as a family promotion, when several viewers are detected together.

Privacy by design

AI AudienceSense analyzes the camera feed in real time on the player itself. No face image and no personally identifiable information is stored at any point; the player only produces anonymized statistics, such as a detected age range, gender and the number of viewers, used to pick which content to show.

Camera and QNAP integration

QNAP network switch and NAS hardware used to run QVR Face Tiger and QVR Face Insight for multi-camera facial recognition

Each SMP player works with one built-in camera by default. When wider coverage or multiple locations are needed, up to 4 cameras can be integrated, compatible with QNAP QVR Face Tiger and QVR Face Insight, making the setup suitable for retail, food & beverage, healthcare and finance environments.

Manage targeted content across every screen

Every SMP player runs AI AudienceSense on its own. When you need to push new targeted content and schedules to every screen at once, add a CAYIN CMS server.

Frequently asked questions

What is facial recognition digital signage with AI AudienceSense?

It is a CAYIN SMP player with a built-in AI AudienceSense feature. A connected camera lets the player detect a viewer's gender, age and headcount in real time and switch to matching content automatically, instead of playing the same loop to everyone.

Which players support AI AudienceSense?

The CAYIN SMP-8100, SMP-2400 and SMP-2200 all support built-in AI AudienceSense facial recognition.

How many cameras can one player use?

Each player works with one built-in camera by default. If wider coverage or multiple locations are needed, up to 4 cameras can be integrated, compatible with QNAP QVR Face Tiger and QVR Face Insight.

Does it store faces or personal data?

No. AI AudienceSense analyzes the camera feed in real time and does not store face images or personal data. It only produces anonymized statistics, such as detected age range, gender and the number of viewers.

What happens when nobody is in front of the screen?

The player automatically switches back to its default main loop content the moment no viewer is detected, so the screen never sits idle or stuck on a previous result.

Can I manage AI AudienceSense content across many screens?

Yes. Add a CAYIN CMS server, such as CMS-SE or CMS-WS, to push new targeted content and schedules to every AI AudienceSense player from one place.

Is there a real deployment example?
