Purpose
1. Enable remote, real-time monitoring of fish farm areas for security, operational oversight, disease detection, intruder alerts, and environmental condition analysis using camera feeds integrated into digital operations.
2. Automate surveillance footage capture, intelligent event detection (e.g., unauthorized entry, water color change), and real-time alerting to farm managers or staff regardless of their location.
3. Leverage image/video analytics to generate actionable insights for operational improvement, reduce physical patrol needs, and enhance documentation for compliance.
Trigger Conditions
1. Time-based: Scheduled checks (e.g., every hour or at specified critical times).
2. Motion/Event-based: Camera detects movement or specific visual anomalies (e.g., floating fish, water surface disturbance).
3. Sensor-based: Environmental sensor (temperature, dissolved oxygen) readings reach pre-set thresholds, prompting video review.
4. Manual: Staff initiates surveillance via a dashboard or mobile app for spot-checks.
