The software comes as is, without warranty, as the licence says. It is an aid to security staff, not a replacement for them: it can miss events and raise false alarms.
Commercial licences
Businesses licence EvolveX through a pilot and then a site agreement. We set it up on your cameras, train it on your scenes and review the alerts with your team. Contact us with your site type and number of cameras.
Responsible use
EvolveX analyses footage of people. Whoever runs it is responsible for using it lawfully, including under Malaysia's Personal Data Protection Act 2010 where it applies. In particular:
- Tell people that the area is monitored, for example with CCTV signage.
- Use it only to detect loitering and fighting for safety and security. Do not use it to identify, profile or single out people by who they are.
- Have a person review every alert before anyone acts on it.
- Keep evidence snapshots and training footage only as long as you need them, and secure them. EvolveX does not delete them automatically.
See the data policy for how we handle data.
