RFID checkpoints and anomaly detection

Purpose

1.1. Automate RFID-based checkpoints to track personnel and assets in real time within army barracks, ensuring accurate presence logging, reducing unauthorized access, and providing anomaly detection for security incidents and operational compliance.
1.2. Automated anomaly detection to flag irregular movement, unauthorized area entry, or suspicious time patterns by continuously monitoring RFID data streams and integrating with security systems.
1.3. Automating alerts, audit trails, and real-time escalations to security staff, enabling proactive intervention and comprehensive automator-generated security logs.
1.4. Streamlining compliance for internal regulations and audits by automating the capturing and reporting of RFID checkpoint data across all specified sites.

Trigger Conditions

2.1. An RFID tag detected at a checkpoint or entrance/exit.
2.2. Absence of expected RFID signal from personnel or equipment (missed scan).
2.3. RFID tag detected in a restricted or unauthorized location.
2.4. RFID scan outside approved time windows (e.g., late night movement).
2.5. Manual override or duress alert from security staff station.
2.6. Multiple RFID tags moving in unapproved formation or direction.
