Case Study: AI Powered Remote Proctoring with Proctor AI

Client Industry

Education, E-Learning, Training & Certification

With the rapid shift toward remote learning and online certification, maintaining exam integrity across large, distributed candidate bases has become a pressing challenge. Traditional manual invigilation is resource-heavy, costly, and susceptible to errors or fraud.

Proctor AI is a scalable, secure, and intelligent remote proctoring platform developed by Visive.ai, designed to eliminate cheating, prevent impersonation, and streamline test delivery with multi-layered authentication, face recognition, lockdown browser controls, and AI-based behavior monitoring.

This system is already in use across universities, training institutes, certification platforms, and e-learning companies — ensuring fairness and trust in remote assessments without increasing operational overhead.

Key Challenges

Inability to detect cheating or impersonation in unsupervised remote exams
High operational costs of hiring proctors and renting test centers
Lack of standardized identity verification or test environment monitoring
Increased risk of fraud through screen sharing, unauthorized browsing, or AI tools
Low user satisfaction due to false flags and intrusive manual checks

Solution Features

1. AI-Driven Video & Audio Monitoring

Proctor AI continuously scans the candidate's webcam and microphone feed using advanced deep learning models to detect:

Multiple faces
Presence of mobile phones or secondary screens
Unusual background noise or voice prompts
Suspicious gaze patterns or object handling

2. Multi-Layer Authentication

Before starting the exam, candidates must pass through:

Facial Recognition: Match live face with registered profile
ID Verification: Scan and authenticate government-issued or institutional ID
Two-Sided Authentication: Prevents impersonation by capturing both front and side angles

3. Lockdown Browser & System Control

Proctor AI restricts the candidate’s system using:

Browser Policing: Prevents opening unauthorized tabs or navigating away
Copy/Paste Blocking: Stops cheating via clipboard
Screen Capture Logging: Records desktop activity during the test

4. Real-Time Invigilation & Alerts

Trained proctors or automated flags can:

Monitor exam activity live
Chat with candidates for clarifications
Block users or pause exams in suspicious scenarios
Configure alerts for custom exam integrity thresholds

5. Advanced Analytics & Storage

Post-exam, administrators can access:

Candidate Behavior Reports
Exam Summary & Flags
Audit Logs (screen/browser)
Archived Video Footage (up to 6 months)

Technology Highlights

AI Models: YOLO for face/object detection, audio analysis for anomaly detection
Frameworks: Python, OpenCV, TensorFlow
Integration: RESTful APIs for LMS/test engines; SDK for desktop/mobile
Deployment: Supports cloud-based and private/local installations
