Intrusion detection and notification workflows

Purpose

1.1. Automate intrusion detection and notification workflows for Army barracks within government defense installations.
1.2. Centralize security event monitoring, automate threat intelligence gathering, and automate alert dissemination using multiple communication channels.
1.3. Automate the integration of surveillance feeds, sensor data processing, real-time anomaly recognition, and auto-escalation to emergency response units.
1.4. Objective: Immediately flag unauthorized entries or suspicious movements, automate incident reporting, and ensure swift, automated coordination between security personnel and relevant authorities.

Trigger Conditions

2.1. Motion sensor activation after curfew hours.
2.2. Unauthorized access badge or failed biometric authentication detected by automated security checkpoints.
2.3. Camera-based anomaly: automatedly flagging unrecognized faces or activity patterns.
2.4. Automatic door opening/forced entry detected using IoT device API polling.
2.5. Audible alarm or glass break sensor triggered — automate notification loop.
