The systems yield richer data than those captured by a few cameras in real time, allowing managers to closely observe multiple situations, involving everyone from non-residents to the security guards. Computer algorithms can even perform behavior analysis based on the footage to track lost children.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/what-does-the-us-china-trade-war-ceasefire-mean-for-real-estate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>More: What the US-China trade ceasefire means for real estate<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Every time you shop at a shopping mall by Dalian Wanda, a computerised ID recognises you from your last visit, thanks to the developer\u2019s Huiyun management system. The system also stores your age, gender, and shopping patterns, informing the company&#8217;s decisions regarding merchant layouts.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, Shui On Land uses facial recognition technology to gather data on occupants in its office buildings.

The country accounted for 36 percent of investment into proptech startups worldwide from 2013 to 2017.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chinese properties use proptech to build a
