A drone over the wall
The outer service road and the razor-wire wall, from a high camera. A quadcopter is crossing the sky above the wall, its camera hanging underneath. Below, on the road, a service vehicle is stopped and three people in uniform are standing there; two of them are pointing upwards. On the other side of the wall is the yard, with people and a basketball hoop at the far end. IRIS watches that piece of sky all the time, including when nobody is looking at it.

What IRIS understands
What it recognises in this scene
- object in flight
- watch post
- staff on the road
- service vehicle
- the yard
The rule
You decide once. IRIS applies it always.
If
something flying appears inside the piece of sky the facility has marked over the wall and the yard
Then
- alert the command post with the camera and the side it came in from
- send someone to the area it flew over, to look at the ground
- keep the video of the whole pass for the report
The instruction that set it up«Tell me if something appears flying over the wall or the yard, and tell me where it came in and which way it is heading.»
What changes
What changes for whoever answers for the facility
Almost nobody looks up, and today that is where packages come in that cannot come through the gate. The usual thing is to find out afterwards, when something turns up in the yard and nobody knows when it fell or where. IRIS does not bring the drone down, does not jam it and does not track it back to its pilot: it warns that something is flying where nothing should be, while it is happening, and says which side it came in from. With that you send someone to the drop area and look at the ground while there is still something to find. That is all it does, and it is already a great deal more than not knowing.
What people usually ask
Does IRIS bring the drone down or jam its signal?
No. It does not bring it down, does not jam it, does not interfere with any signal and does not track it back to its pilot. IRIS is a camera that understands what it sees: it sees something flying where nothing should be and says so while it is happening, with the time, the side it came in from and the video. What changes is not the drone: it is that someone can be at the drop area within minutes, instead of finding out the next day. Neutralising an aircraft in flight is a different trade, with its own rules, and this is not it.
Does IRIS know whose drone it is?
No. IRIS identifies nobody and cannot be used to sanction a particular person. It does not know whose aircraft it is, it does not look for the pilot, it does not recognise faces or read the plates of cars nearby, and it does not store who anyone is. What it produces is an alert about a situation: something is flying where it should not be, at this time, from this side. Working out where it came from is the job of people and of other procedures, not of a camera.
What about birds? This must be going off all the time.
The facility decides which part of the sky is watched, at what hours and what an object has to do for the alert to fire: a bird crossing is one thing, an aircraft holding itself in the air and tracking in a line over the wall is another. And above all, the alert does not arrive alone: it arrives with its video. Whoever receives it sees in two seconds whether it is worth sending someone or whether it just gets closed. An alert you close in two seconds costs very little; not knowing costs rather more.
A different case every time
You set the rule once. IRIS applies it every time.
You will see a summary of the interface, played step by step and hands-free. Each round starts with another case. The complete tool does not fit in a demo.
- The alert fires
- It lands in the tray
- You open it
- You confirm or dismiss
Next step
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
Nothing to drill, nothing to rip out:the cameras already on your walls can start understanding.
No building work, no new cabling, no swapping equipment. It connects to what is already there, and what is already there starts telling you what it sees.
Tell us your problem and we will say whether IRIS understands it, or not yet.
We reply the same working day.
