The rule
You decide once. IRIS applies it always.
If
aggressive movements are detected between two or more people
Duringmore than 10 seconds
And alsoa crowd forms around them
Then
- alert the local police
- open the live camera for the operator
- keep the video from one minute earlier
The instruction that set it up«Tell me if there is a fight in the street, and how many people are gathering around it.»
What changes
What changes for whoever runs the city
A street fight is decided in minutes. At one in the morning the control-room operator has forty cameras in front of him and he is looking at a different one. The alert arrives when somebody phones, and by then the ring of onlookers has closed, traffic has stopped and the patrol walks blind into a street with thirty people in it. With IRIS that camera opens live in front of him as soon as the pattern appears, and in a few seconds he confirms what he is seeing and what he sends. The video is kept from before the first punch: that is what backs up the report afterwards.
What people usually ask
Can IRIS tell a fight from a group of people talking loudly?
Yes, in most cases IRIS tells a fight from a group talking loudly, because it does not listen to noise, it looks at movement: fast arms, bodies colliding, people backing away and a ring closing around them. Even so, a person makes the final call: IRIS opens the camera and the operator confirms in seconds. That is the difference between reviewing a thousand scenes and reviewing one.
Who receives the IRIS alert at three in the morning?
The alert goes to whoever the council has set for that camera and that time band: the control room if it is staffed and, if not, the on-call phone or the relevant desk. What arrives is not a bare alarm: it is the camera open at the moment it happened, so whoever receives it can confirm and decide what to do.
Does IRIS keep the video of the fight as evidence?
IRIS keeps the clip of the incident, with the camera and the time, and it can be exported. How long it is retained and who may access it is set by your organisation in the configuration. Whether that video stands as evidence in proceedings is not for us to decide: that is for whoever handles the case. Which is exactly why every access to the video is logged.
A different case every time
No extra alarms here. Just what needs looking at.
Not a recorded video, not an explanatory drawing: a summary of the real screen, with a different case every time it starts. There is a lot more behind it.
- You draw the line
- It counts by itself
- A number comes out

The school
Who sees the child who has fallen at the far end of the playground?
13 cases: 12 raise an alert when something happens and 1 only measure. You see each image as it is, and then with what IRIS understands on top.
Critical infrastructure
Who is watching a site where there is 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
Nobody was hired to stare at a screen.They were hired to know what to do.
Watching is what a machine does best; deciding is what only a person does. IRIS watches all four thousand at once and hands over only what calls for a decision.
