On January 28, 2025, the United States Patent and Trademark Office granted the patent to THE EDGE COMPANY. The grant names the company as both its applicant and its assignee.

The patent covers a method of detecting moving objects. Fabio Masci, who founded the company in 2017 and leads it, invented the patented method.

Our computer vision detects and tracks motion. The pan-tilt-zoom cameras we work with, daylight and thermal, keep the watch after dark too.

The neural networks we build classify moving objects from their appearance and their movement. Each site's models are retrained on its own footage. Our technology is designed and built in Rimini.

The company did not announce the grant in any public channel at the time.
