At the exhibition, "Kizukumo" attracted significant interest from educators and infrastructure providers for its overwhelmingly low cost (from ¥770/month per unit) and ease of operation, requiring "no construction" and just a "place-and-go" setup. The AI's ability to detect and distinguish people, cars, and animals was a focal point, as was its unique "hybrid recording system" which minimizes network load. This system was well-received as a next-generation safety management method that doesn't strain a school's network, yet allows for remote monitoring.
