CAM-238
A car moves off with the bonnet and a door open
Finishing area, first thing in the morning. A silver SUV has started moving with the bonnet up and the driver’s door open. A technician is still half inside the cabin, holding on to the door. A diagnostic cable runs from the car to the black unit standing on the floor a few metres behind. Around them, five people step aside with their hands up. IRIS sees that the vehicle has moved in that condition.

- vehicle on the move
- bonnet raised
- driver’s door open
- technician half inside the cabin
- diagnostic unit still cabled to the car
- staff stepping out of the way
What this camera measures
An alert says something is happening. The reading says how much.
- 2,3 mDistance travelled, measured on the floor
- 2Openings left open on the vehicle
- 1Cables still connected to the car
- 6People in shot
- 09:14Time of the alert
The figures on this screen are an example from the illustration, not any client's measurement.
The rule
You decide once. IRIS applies it always.
If
a vehicle moves with the bonnet or a door open or with a cable still connected
Then
- alert the area manager with the camera and the time
- save the video from the moment the vehicle started moving
- log how far it travelled, measured against the floor lines
The instruction that set it up«Tell me if a car moves with the bonnet or a door open, or with somebody still working on it.»
What changes
What changes for whoever answers for the plant
In finishing, cars are pushed by hand, slowly, with nobody at the wheel, so nobody treats them as a moving vehicle. The day one rolls away with the bonnet up there is no report, no time and no footage: there are five different versions. With the camera, the area manager has the exact minute, how far the car travelled and the video of what was still plugged in. That changes a procedure; memories do not.
What people usually ask
Can IRIS brake the car?
No. IRIS acts on nothing: it does not brake, it does not cut power and it sends nobody anywhere. It gives the alert right away that a vehicle is moving with the bonnet or a door open, and saves the video from the first metre. Who goes, what gets done and whether the area is stopped is a person’s decision. The system supplies the picture and the time.
How does IRIS know the bonnet is open?
By its shape. From above, a car with the bonnet up has a different outline from a closed one, and the same goes for an open door. IRIS does not read the vehicle’s electronics and does not talk to its control unit: it looks at the image. If the plant wants to cross-check with the test bench, it can, but the alert comes from what is visible.
What if in that area cars are meant to move like that?
Then it is not an alert. The plant writes the rule, not IRIS: you can exclude the roller bay, the rework area or the hours when those manoeuvres are done. IRIS does not decide what is right or wrong in a plant; it detects the situation it was asked for and leaves it with a time and an image. The judgement always belongs to whoever runs the area.
Other cameras
See it for yourself
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.
- The alert fires
- It lands in the tray
- You open it
- You confirm or dismiss

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
A wall of monitors is impressive.Nobody can read forty tiles at once.
The more tiles there are, the less each one gets looked at. IRIS watches all four thousand cameras at once and points at a single one: the one that needs someone right now.
