CAM-312
Someone leaning into the reactor and nobody outside
Seen from above the head of the reactor. The manway is open, its cover swung aside, and a worker in helmet and coveralls has leaned in from the waist up, feet still on the grating. There is nobody else on the platform. No tripod either, no lifeline, none of the rescue gear a confined-space entry calls for. Only the access stairs, empty.

What IRIS understands
What it recognises in this scene
- person leaning into the reactor
- open manway
- cover swung aside
- platform with no attendant
- empty access stairs
What this camera measures
An alert says something is happening. The reading says how much.
- 17 mintime the manway has been open
- 3 mintime with the person leaning inside
- 1people on the platform
- 0people keeping watch outside
- 11:05time 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 person goes in through the manway and there is nobody else on the platform
Then
- alerts the control room and the permit holder
- saves the video from the moment the manway was opened
- logs how long the manway has been open and how many people are inside and outside
The instruction that set it up«Tell me if anyone climbs into an open reactor and there is no second person on the platform.»
What changes
What changes for whoever answers for the plant
Entering a reactor with nobody outside is one of those things that does not give a second chance. If the person passes out inside, nobody will know until somebody happens to walk by. IRIS sees the manway open, sees there is only one person on the platform and times how long it has been like that. The alert reaches the control room while it is happening, not when the shift starts asking why the radio has gone quiet.
What people usually ask
Can IRIS measure the oxygen or the gases inside the reactor?
No. That is the gas detector's job, and no video replaces it. IRIS sees the manway open, sees that somebody has gone in and sees that there is nobody outside. It is a different, complementary layer: the atmosphere is measured by the instrument, the scene is seen by the camera, and both land in the same control room.
Does the alert still work if the person disappears inside the tank?
Yes. The rule does not only count bodies in view: it counts that the manway is still open and that nobody is keeping watch outside. That combination is what fires the alert, and the timer keeps running for as long as it lasts. As soon as a second person appears on the platform, the scene is back to the condition the plant asked for.
Does this replace the confined-space permit?
No. The permit, the pre-entry measurement and the rescue plan stay with the plant and its procedure. IRIS does not write rules and does not sign anything: it checks in the image that what was agreed is actually happening, and raises the alert when it is not. That is the difference between a form signed in the morning and knowing what is going on up there at five past eleven.

A different case every time
This isn’t a video. It’s a slice of the real screen.
A summary of the real interface, played hands-free. You see one case from start to finish; what you do not see are the other screens, and there are many.
- The rule gets built
- It goes to every camera
- Published, it watches alone
- And then it fires
Next step
How long does it take to find a hand played two hours ago?
12 cases: 9 raise an alert when something happens and 3 only measure. You see each image as it is, and then with what IRIS understands on top.
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.
And the best part
Nobody covers the night shift:the camera that is already on covers it.
It does not tire, it does not blink and it does not go for coffee. What happens at night is understood just as it would be at midday, and whoever is on duty hears about it while it is happening.
