What (or Who) is Quill?

Quill is Watchful’s AI Monitoring Assistant. She analyses camera events in real time, suggests dispositions, and supports monitoring officers during investigations.

Using the site-specific instructions you provide, Quill reviews every event and recommends the most likely classification. Monitoring officers then confirm or adjust her suggestion to ensure accuracy.

This article explains how Quill works, key terms to understand, and how her recommendations appear during an investigation.

Quill’s role is to help your team respond faster and more accurately. She assists by:

• Analysing each camera event as it arrives

Activity Log

It ensures transparency and helps review the sequence of decisions during an investigation.

Draw Mode

Used when the system does not automatically detect a person.

Draw Mode allows you to manually draw a bounding box around a subject.

Quill will then analyse the selected person and generate a description.
