CAM-487
One person climbs the fence while everyone else uses the turnstile
Concert afternoon, in front of the access gate. Five turnstiles with green lights and people validating in line. On the right, next to the pillar, someone has climbed onto the metal fence: both hands on top and one foot on the rail. The usher is ten feet away, with his back turned. IRIS sees that somebody has come in where nobody comes in, and saves the video.

The rule
You decide once. IRIS applies it always.
If
a person crosses the fence outside the turnstile or two people go through on one validation
Then
- alert the gate staff with the camera and the turnstile involved
- save the video of the ten seconds before and the ten after
- add the crossing to the gate tally for the event report
The instruction that set it up«Tell me if somebody comes in outside the turnstiles, or if two people go through on a single validation.»
What changes
What changes for whoever runs security at the venue
Concert afternoon, and at the gate five turnstiles are validating one after another. By the pillar, someone has climbed onto the metal barrier; the usher is ten feet away, back turned. Every person who gets in without validating is a ticket that wasn’t sold, and also somebody inside that nobody knows about. In a venue where the audience is split into separate blocks, where they come in matters as well: a ticket for one block isn’t a right to stand in another. IRIS counts validations, counts crossings outside the line and flags two people going through on a single read. What happens next is the venue’s call.
What people usually ask
Does IRIS know who climbed the fence?
No, and it never will. IRIS does not recognize faces and does not compare them with any list. What it detects is a movement: a person crossed a fence where nobody crosses, at 7:12 p.m., in front of this camera. Who it was will come from the staff who get there, or from nobody at all. The system provides the fact, the place and the video.
Can it flag somebody heading for a block that isn’t theirs?
Yes, if the venue draws that separation on the image. A person moving from one block’s area into another’s is a line crossing, and the camera sees that. It doesn’t say whether that person had a right to be there: it says they crossed. Matching ticket to block is the job of access control, not of the camera.
What if the line was just crowded and two people went through together by accident?
It happens, and that is why the alert accuses nobody. IRIS says that two bodies went through that turnstile on a single read, and saves the seconds before. With the video in front of him, the gate supervisor sees in two seconds whether it was a shove from the line or a deliberate jump, and decides. IRIS does not decide, and it accuses nobody.

Next step
Who sees the child who’s fallen at the far end of the schoolyard?
14 cases: 13 raise an alert when something happens and one only measures. You see each image as it is, and then with what IRIS understands on top.
Who is watching a site where there’s almost never anybody?
44 cases, and in every one of them IRIS raises an alert when something happens. You see each image as it is, and then with what it understands on top.
And the best part
At eleven the last person leaves.The cameras stay, and now they understand what is going on.
Nobody switches anything off on the way out. What happens in an empty building is understood right then, and nobody waits for the doors to open to find out.
