Cotofure Unveils External Camera Integration for EMOTICS

Tokyo, Japan – On December 2, 2025, Cotofure Inc., a leader in AI-driven product development, announced a significant update to its innovative AI camera solution, EMOTICS. This new feature, which integrates external cameras, is set to enhance the operational capabilities of businesses while still offering the ease of smartphone usage.

EMOTICS stands out with its cloud and edge versions, negating the need for dedicated cameras, which means that users can perform AI video analysis using just their smartphones. This feature allows businesses to analyze attributes such as gender, age, expressions, and crowd size, making EMOTICS an ideal solution for environments without permanent camera installation, like event venues and exhibitions.

Despite its convenience for on-the-go analyses, there was a notable challenge for businesses wanting to establish more permanent setups. The reliance on smartphones as fixed cameras raised concerns regarding reliability and limitations in operational capabilities. Cotofure's latest update directly addresses these issues, enabling a seamless integration of external cameras, thus expanding the range of EMOTICS applications.

The collaboration with I-O DATA Device, Inc. enhances EMOTICS through its network camera, Qwatch. This integration features round-the-clock cloud recording and tailored attribute analysis during specific timeframes on a unified platform. Users can still enjoy the simplicity of smartphone-only operation while benefiting from the thorough data captured by a dedicated camera.
