AI computer vision for race timing

Every finish.
Backed by
a picture.

Give your results a second set of eyes.

Timing Eyes turns finish-line video into a searchable record of bibs and crossings. A clearer way to check your results. An answer you can show your runners.

Works alongside your primary timing system.

The runner.
The crossing.
The picture.

Useful evidence, already connected.

Timing Eyes reads bibs from video and brings crossings into a results list, with images you can open and review. You can check a read, correct a bib and export your results.

Why a visual backup belongs at your finish

Multiple cameras, working together

Multiple angles.
More of the story.

What’s hidden from one camera can be clear to another.

Position cameras around a timing point. Timing Eyes brings their bib reads into one results view, with images from each angle available to check.

Clear from this side: 247 and 632 .

Camera on the right

Clear from this side: 518 and 381 .

One place to review it all.

Reads of the same bib are brought together. A read from any camera adds to the picture, so your team can check multiple angles without juggling separate results lists.

Splits out on the course

See the race.
Beyond the finish.

A mile split can start with a tablet and a tripod.

Set up beside the course and record runners as they pass a mile marker, a checkpoint or another split. Give your team a picture of the race while it’s still unfolding.

Record on the device and bring its footage and bib reads back after the race. With internet, a connected tablet can send crossings and images to your timing desk along the way.

Equipment, without the guesswork

You may already have
your starting setup.

You don’t need to begin with a custom camera installation. Start at one finish line, with equipment that fits your race.

The compact option

An iPad. A stable mount.
A clear view.

The built-in camera and Timing Eyes run on the same device. A straightforward way to put a visual backup at one line.

Before you get started

A few things
you might be
wondering.

Is this replacing my chip timing system?

Timing Eyes is your visual backup today. Keep your primary timing system and use the camera record as another source when you check results. It does not guarantee an official time or a read for every runner.

Do I need to be technical?

The setup is visual: choose the camera view, mark the line and enter your bib range. You can start with recorded footage to learn the process. Request a demo and we’ll show you what running it involves.

Will I have to buy expensive hardware?

You may be able to use an iPad or a computer and camera you already own. Hardware is separate from the software license. Before you buy anything, talk to us about your device, race size and camera view so you can budget for a suitable setup.

See the equipment options
Does it need internet at the finish line?

With a standard license, a standalone iPad or computer can work offline for up to 30 days after its last successful online license check. Connect before your event to refresh the check. Footage is processed locally. Connected iPads need internet to send results to the computer; they queue uploads while disconnected.

How can I be confident it will work for my race?

Try your intended setup with representative footage and a practice crossing before race day. A clear camera view and readable bibs matter. Saved footage and attached images give you a way to review what was captured; no camera setup can promise to see or read every runner.
