Automated surveillance footage analysis alerts

Purpose

1. Automate real-time surveillance footage analysis in army facilities to detect, alert, and document suspicious activities, unauthorized access, perimeter breaches, object removals or placements, and unusual behavioral patterns.

2. Automating surveillance enables seamless, round-the-clock monitoring and instant, actionable alerts for rapid incident response, comprehensive audit trails, and centralized security intelligence for military assets and personnel safety.

3. The automation purpose includes reducing manual monitoring, lowering human error rates, enabling automated escalation to command structures, and integrating data from multiple camera sources and sensors for multispectral situational awareness.

Trigger Conditions

1. Automated detection of motion in restricted zones outside approved schedules.

2. Automating alerts for unauthorized ID badge or face detected by AI recognition.

3. Automatedly identifying weapon drawing, running, crowd gatherings, or abandoned objects.

4. Automator sends notifications on detection of fire, smoke, or environmental hazards.

5. Automating escalation for tampered camera feeds, blackout, or loss of feed signals.

6. Automated triggers for storing flagged frames/clips for forensics.
