What Is Dual-IX™?
Dual-IX is a smart cooler security camera solution designed for deployments where operators need additional visibility into activity inside an unattended retail unit.
Unlike a product recognition system, which determines which products have been selected, Dual-IX focuses on security monitoring and event review. It is intended to complement a compatible smart cooler rather than replace its existing product recognition, payment, or inventory technology.
Depending on the system configuration, Dual-IX can help operators investigate incidents such as suspected unauthorized product removal, misuse, or other activity that requires review.
Key Benefits
Additional security visibility: Review relevant activity inside a compatible smart cooler.
Support for loss prevention: Add a security layer to unattended retail operations.
Event review: Help investigate incidents when additional context is needed.
Retrofit potential: Assess whether an existing smart cooler can be upgraded without replacing the entire unit.
Separate security and recognition functions: Keep video monitoring distinct from the system that identifies products.
Flexible deployment: Consider Dual-IX for new installations or supported existing equipment.
Smart Cooler Security Without Confusing It with Product Recognition
The terms AI smart cooler, smart cooler vision, and vision-based smart cooler can refer to different technologies and configurations.
Some smart coolers use cameras and computer vision to identify products. Others use weight-based sensing to recognize products without cameras.
Dual-IX serves a different purpose: it provides an optional security monitoring layer for compatible equipment.
This distinction matters because product recognition and video surveillance solve different operational problems.
A product recognition system helps determine what a shopper takes. A security camera system helps operators review activity when a security concern arises.
With the appropriate configuration, operators can evaluate these functions separately instead of assuming that one technology must perform both roles.
Smart Cooler Security Retrofit: Upgrade Existing Equipment
Already purchased a smart cooler? You may not need to replace the entire unit to explore additional security options.
A smart cooler security retrofit involves assessing existing equipment and determining whether a compatible camera kit can be integrated into the current configuration.
Scallix can help evaluate the cooler model, physical installation requirements, power and connectivity needs, and the intended security use case.
The goal is to determine whether Dual-IX can provide an additional security layer while preserving the core operation of the existing smart cooler.
Compatibility depends on the specific model and configuration. Contact Scallix before purchasing a retrofit kit to confirm suitability for your equipment.
Dual-IX for Shekel Innovendi Elite Smart Coolers
The SHEKEL Innovendi Elite is an AI-powered smart cooler designed for autonomous retail. It uses WeightAI™ technology and weight-sensing shelves to identify products as shoppers remove or return them.
The core Innovendi Elite product recognition system does not require cameras. This allows product identification to operate independently of video surveillance.
For operators considering additional security monitoring, Dual-IX may be worth evaluating as a separate security layer, subject to confirmation of compatibility with the specific Innovendi Elite configuration.
This distinction is especially important for operators who want to preserve weight-based product recognition while exploring additional visibility into activity inside the cooler.
Already operating a SHEKEL Innovendi Elite? Contact Scallix to discuss your security requirements and confirm whether a Dual-IX integration is supported for your model.

Dual-IX for Nayax Nova Smart Cooler S
The Nayax Nova Smart Cooler S combines Nayax's payment and management capabilities with SHEKEL's AI-powered, weight-based product recognition technology.
For operators already using a Nova Smart Cooler S, an additional security camera system may be relevant when a location requires more visibility into activity inside the cooler.
Dual-IX is designed to address security monitoring rather than replace the Nova's existing product recognition or payment functions. Before planning an installation, the exact cooler model and hardware configuration should be reviewed to confirm compatibility.
If you operate a Nayax Nova Smart Cooler S and want to explore additional security options, contact Scallix for a compatibility assessment.
Dual-IX for Nayax Nova Smart Cooler H
The Nayax Nova Smart Cooler H uses camera-based vision technology for product identification at checkout.
This is different from the Nova Smart Cooler S, which uses SHEKEL's weight-tracking technology. The distinction is important when evaluating additional cameras, security requirements, and potential integration options.
Dual-IX is intended as a security monitoring solution, not as a replacement for the H model's existing vision-based product recognition system.
If you are considering adding a separate security layer to a Nova Smart Cooler H, Scallix can review your use case and help determine whether the intended configuration is technically feasible.
Buying a Smart Cooler? Consider Security Before Deployment
If you are evaluating an AI smart cooler, a vision smart cooler, or another unattended retail solution, it is worth considering security requirements before choosing your equipment.
Product recognition, cashless payments, inventory management, and security monitoring are related but distinct functions. The right configuration depends on the location, operating model, and level of oversight required.
When comparing smart cooler solutions, consider:
How products are identified: weight-based recognition, computer vision, or another method.
Whether additional security monitoring is required.
How video recordings are stored and who can access them.
Whether a security camera kit can be integrated into the chosen cooler.
What installation, connectivity, and support requirements apply.
Whether the system can be upgraded if operational needs change.
Scallix helps operators evaluate smart cooler technology and security options based on their specific deployment requirements.
Local Video Storage and Operator Control
For supported Dual-IX configurations, video recordings are stored locally rather than on external cloud servers, and are not provided to third parties under the described system configuration.
The operator retains access to recorded material, subject to the system's access controls and the operator's own policies.
Local storage can be an important consideration for organizations evaluating smart cooler surveillance, privacy requirements, and data management practices.
Actual storage, access, retention, and compliance arrangements should be confirmed for the specific deployment before installation.
Who Can Benefit from Dual-IX?
Dual-IX may be relevant for operators and organizations that need additional security visibility in unattended retail environments, including:
Offices and corporate facilities
Universities and educational campuses
Hospitals and healthcare facilities
Hotels and hospitality locations
Residential buildings
Transportation and public facilities
Commercial sites with unattended food and beverage retail
The suitability of a camera-based security solution depends on the location's operational requirements, privacy policies, and applicable laws.
