CAM-164
A worker on the ground, not moving
A worker in blue overalls and a hi-vis vest, lying on the gravel between two transformers. He is alone: there is nobody else on the site. He has not moved for several minutes. IRIS does not know what happened to him, and will not say: it knows there is a person on the ground who has not moved for a while.

The rule
You decide once. IRIS applies it always.
If
a person stays motionless on the ground for longer than the site allows
Then
- alert the control room with the camera, the time and the video
- alert whoever has to call medical assistance and rescue
- keep the live picture open for as long as the alert lasts
The instruction that set it up«Tell me if somebody stays still on the ground for more than a few minutes, especially if they are alone on the site.»
What changes
What changes for whoever answers for the site
A substation is visited alone. Somebody arrives in the morning, does the job and leaves, and in between there is nobody who can see that they have gone down. If something happens, what exists today is a phone that does not answer and a long hour before anyone worries. A camera watching that walkway does not prevent the fall, but it turns that hour into a few minutes, and for a person on the ground minutes are almost everything. IRIS does not say what happened or why: it says somebody is still where nobody should be still, and it raises the alarm.
What people usually ask
Does IRIS know whether he is hurt or just crouching down to work?
It does not know, and it does not say. All it sees is that there is a person on the ground who has not moved for a while. A worker crouching moves; someone who has fallen does not. That is why the rule is about time and not about posture, and why the alert arrives with the picture: whoever gets it sees in two seconds whether to send somebody. We would rather warn once too often and have it closed in two seconds.
Does it replace a lone-worker device?
No. It is another layer, and both are needed. The device depends on being carried, charged and working; the camera depends on the person being in shot. Neither covers the whole site on its own, which is why one does not replace the other. What the camera adds is a picture, and the picture is what decides what you set out with.
Does IRIS follow technicians around while they work?
No. IRIS does not identify anyone: it does not recognise faces, it does not read number plates, it does not compare against any database and it does not store who anyone is. It keeps no record of who came in, it does not measure how long anybody works and it is not for that. It detects a situation — a person motionless on the ground — and raises the alarm; it does not watch the person.
A different case every time
A camera looks. IRIS understands what it sees.
An extract of the real screen, no voice-over and hands-free. Each round poses another situation. What sits behind it is a good deal bigger than what you see.
- The rule gets built
- It goes to every camera
- Published, it watches alone
- And then it fires

Shopping centres
What does a shopping centre see beyond the visitor count?
12 cases: 4 raise an alert when something happens and 8 only measure. You see each image as it is, and then with what IRIS understands on top.
Airports
What does an airport see before the queue 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.
And the best part
Sometimes you do not need an alarm:you need a number.
How many people came in, and when. You draw a line over the image and the camera counts. People counting is certified by the Centro Español de Metrología through NeuralPax.
