CAM-411
A lone pumping station, and the operator hasn’t moved for nine minutes
Mid-afternoon at an isolated pumping station by the sea. There are no other buildings and no other people: a fence, a hut, two pumps and the water. An operator is sitting on the ground, propped against the wall beside the door, hard hat still on and his head slumped onto his chest. He isn’t moving. IRIS counts how many people are inside the station and how long each of them has been without moving. Nothing else, and that’s enough.

The rule
You decide once. IRIS applies it always.
If
the only person present at the station stops moving for the time the plant has set
Then
- alert the on-call manager with the station, the camera and the time
- save the video from before the person stopped moving
- keep the alert open until a person closes it
The instruction that set it up«Tell me if the operator working alone at a station stops moving for more than two minutes.»
What changes
What changes for whoever answers for the plant
In a site with one person and nobody else, the alert is the difference between minutes and the following day. Without a camera, what usually happens is that someone notices when the operator doesn’t turn up for the next round or doesn’t answer the phone. With the alert, the manager knows which station it is, at what time he stopped moving, and can look at the picture before sending anyone forty minutes down the road.
What people usually ask
Is this a way of monitoring the person working alone?
No. IRIS identifies nobody, does not know who that person is and does not log their working day. It detects a situation: there’s one person at the station and they haven’t moved for a while. The alert goes to the on-call manager and is closed by hand. What’s watched, for how long and who receives the alert is agreed by the company before anything is installed.
And if the station has no cell coverage and no internet?
It works just the same. The analysis runs at the station itself, on the equipment installed there, and needs no connection in order to detect. The connection is only needed to send the alert out. If the link drops, detection carries on and the alerts and the video go out when it comes back. That’s why this case fits remote sites, which is exactly where it is needed most.
Isn’t the personal safety alarm they already carry enough?
They complement each other, and it’s worth having both. The personal device raises the alarm if the worker is wearing it, it is charged and it hasn’t been left in the van. The camera doesn’t depend on any of that, and it also delivers the picture: whoever receives the alert can see where the person is and in what position before deciding. Neither one replaces the other.

See it for yourself
A new case each time. Always the same screen.
It plays by itself and shows one case from start to finish. It’s a summary: the real screen has far more functions than fit in this box.
- The hour, as a grid
- You look where it’s dark
- You jump to that minute
Next step
What does an airport see before the line forms?
14 cases: 7 raise an alert when something happens and 7 only measure. You see each image as it is, and then with what IRIS understands on top.
What can a camera see without pointing at anyone?
13 cases: 9 raise an alert when something happens and 4 only measure. You see each image as it is, and then with what IRIS understands on top.
And the best part
There’s a moment when you can still act.It’s while it’s happening, and it’s short.
After that, all you can do is tell the story. IRIS speaks up at that moment — camera, time and images — and whoever is on call decides what to do with it.
Tell us your problem and we’ll say whether IRIS understands it, or not yet.
A person answers, the same working day.
