CAM-412
Someone has climbed down into the chamber and nobody is left up top
Mid-morning at the plant. The chamber cover is lying to one side, the ladder pokes out of the opening and an operator in helmet and hi-vis is already climbing down: all you can see is his head, his shoulders and his gloves gripping the rung. Around the chamber the paving is empty. There is nobody outside, no tripod, no lifeline in sight. IRIS sees two things and puts them together: someone has entered the chamber and there is no person left in the attendant zone.

What IRIS is
IRIS watches the plant for you.
IRIS looks at the cameras you already have on the plant floor and understands what it sees: a stopped line, someone inside a robotic cell, someone without their safety gear on, jammed parts. When something like that happens, it alerts right away; and whatever can be counted, it counts in numbers. All day long, with no one needing to watch the screen.
You tell it what you need to watch, and IRIS does it.
Here, for example, IRIS sees that someone has gone down into the chamber and that nobody is left outside watching, and puts the two together to raise the alert right away. That way the maintenance manager finds out while the person still has their shoulders above ground, not at Friday's meeting. With the timestamped access footage, you decide what to do, and there's a record for any investigation afterwards.
Works with the cameras you already have. Nothing to replace.
A person replies, not a form.
- Your footage never leaves your premises.
- It doesn't identify people.

What IRIS understands
What it recognises in this scene
- operator climbing down into the chamber
- chamber opening uncovered
- ladder poking out of the opening
- cover moved aside on the ground
- area around the chamber, with nobody in it
- life ring, far from the chamber
What this camera measures
An alert says something is happening. The reading says how much.
- 1People in shot
- 0People outside the chamber
- 2 minTime since he started climbing down
- 1Open accesses in shot
- 10:12Time 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 enters the chamber and nobody is left in the attendant zone around it
Then
- alert the maintenance manager and the control room with the camera and the time
- save the video from the moment the cover was moved aside
- keep the alert open until a person closes it
The instruction that set it up«Tell me if anyone climbs down into a chamber and there is nobody keeping watch outside.»
What changes
What changes for whoever answers for the plant
His shoulders are still above the rim: that is the minute when he can still be told to come back up. The outside attendant is not paperwork, he is the one who raises the alarm and pulls on the line, and today there is nobody. The maintenance supervisor gets the alert right then, not at Friday’s meeting. And the video of the entry stays, with the time on it, which is what any investigation asks for afterwards and what nobody manages to reconstruct from memory and a signature on a permit.
What people usually ask
Does IRIS measure the gas inside the chamber?
No. A camera does not measure atmospheres. Oxygen and gases are measured by the personal detector carried by whoever goes down, and no image replaces that. What IRIS sees is the part that can be seen: the cover moved aside, the person going in and whether anyone is keeping watch outside. Both things are needed and neither stands in for the other.
How does it know the person outside is the attendant?
It does not know, and it does not need to. IRIS identifies nobody and checks no names. It counts how many people are inside the marked zone around the access while someone is down there. If the number is zero, it raises an alert. Whether the person outside is the right one and properly trained is a matter for the work permit, not for the camera.
And if the attendant steps away for a moment?
That depends on what the plant decides. The rule carries a tolerance set by whoever runs the site: a few seconds to walk round a piece of equipment, or zero tolerance while anyone is down there. IRIS applies the number it is given and saves the video of the interval in which the zone was empty, so it can be looked at calmly afterwards.

Demo · IRIS at work
A new case each time. Always the same screen.
It plays by itself and shows one case from start to finish. It is a summary: the real screen has far more functions than fit in this box.
- The hour, as a grid
- You look where it's dark
- You jump to that minute

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.
Why did the line stop?
237 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
We would rather promise less.Let the first week be the surprise, not the brochure.
What it cannot do gets said on day one, not on the last day. A short list that holds beats a long one that falls apart the moment it is switched on.
Tell us your problem and we will say whether IRIS understands it, or not yet.
We reply the same working day.
