Sens-Cam AI
Managing urban mobility today requires solutions capable of providing useful information to address real safety problems. In this context comes Sens-Cam AI, Spark’s smart camera that combines vision, analytics, and automation in a single device.
The Power of AI
By leveraging its onboard Neural Network, Sens-Cam AI detects pedestrians and different vehicles.
The device is used in numerous urban mobility and video surveillance applications, such as counting vehicles on a road, identifying people or vehicles in restricted areas, detecting illegal turns or unauthorized access, and monitoring queues or prolonged stops.
In addition to its AI-powered analytics capabilities, Sens-Cam also provides traditional video functions such as video streaming and recording, even in 4K, combining security and business intelligence in a single device.

Sens-Cam AI as a Virtual Inductive Loop
Inductive Loop
Sens-Cam AI can also operate as a virtual inductive loop. In this mode, the device replaces traditional in-ground physical sensors , such as standard inductance loops, by detecting the passage of vehicles or pedestrians through a detection zone configured via software.
In this way, Sens-Cam AI generates a digital event that can trigger panels, lights, barriers, traffic lights, or other external devices, further simplifying the infrastructure and increasing the system’s flexibility.
Application Examples
Variable Message Signs: Sens-Cam AI activates a message on a roadside display when a vehicle approaches. Warnings such as “Slow Down”, “Pedestrian Crossing”, or “Heavy Traffic” are shown only when needed, improving both safety and communication.
Smart Lighting: Sens-Cam AI automatically switches on lights or illuminated signals when pedestrians or vehicles are detected. On pedestrian crossings, cycle paths, or low-traffic roads, lighting is activated only when necessary, resulting in significant energy savings.
Weigh-in-Motion (WIM): Sens-Cam AI acts as an entry sensor for vehicle dynamic weighing, replacing physical loops embedded in the road surface. The result is a simpler, less invasive, and more cost-effective system to install and maintain.
Traffic Light Management: Sens-Cam AI detects the presence of vehicles at intersections and provides real-time data to the traffic light control system. This enables adaptive management of the red/green phases, improving traffic flow and reducing waiting times.
Safety in Sensitive Areas: Sens-Cam AI detects the passage of vehicles and people, triggering lights, alarms, or safety procedures according to predefined rules. A reliable solution for managing gates, yards, or loading areas where continuous monitoring is essential.
Virtual Inductive Loop on Sens-Cam AI
The Advantages of the Virtual Inductive Loop
Using Sens-Cam AI in virtual inductive loop mode means simplifying the system architecture while expanding the amount of available information: no need to cut the asphalt or lay cables, fast installation and minimal maintenance, intuitively configurable detection zones, quickly adjustable use cases, and a single product capable of performing multiple tasks.
The ability to replace a traditional inductive loop makes Sens-Cam AI an even more flexible and innovative solution, fully aligned with the needs of smart cities and connected infrastructures.
