The loading bay during a delivery
The loading bay, seen from a high camera. A lorry has been reversed in with its side open and a member of staff is moving boxes at the tail. On the right, a forklift is coming out of one of the bays with a pallet, and boxes are already stacked next to the gate. In the middle of the manoeuvring area, marked out on the ground with yellow lines, a person is standing with the delivery note in hand. This is the area that, while the manoeuvre lasts, has its own rules.

What IRIS is
IRIS keeps an eye on the prison for you.
IRIS watches the cameras you already have in the prison and understands what it sees: a fight, a barricade, a crowd building up in a yard or a wing. 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 stare at a screen.
You tell it what you need to watch, and IRIS does it.
Here, for example, IRIS watches the loading bay for as long as the delivery lasts and flags it straight away if someone on foot who isn't part of the unloading team shows up, with the exact time of every entry and exit. So you find out while the gate is still open, not afterwards. With that alert you decide whether to act, and it's logged in case you need to check it later.
Works with the cameras you already have. Nothing to replace.

What IRIS understands
What it recognises in this scene
- person on foot in the manoeuvre
- delivery lorry
- staff at the tail
- forklift
- unloaded pallets
The rule
You decide once. IRIS applies it always.
If
a delivery is under way and someone appears on foot inside the marked area
Then
- alert the officer in charge of the bay with the camera and the exact spot
- ask for the manoeuvre to stop until the area is clear
- log the time of entering and leaving the area, for the delivery record
The instruction that set it up«While a lorry is unloading, alert me to anyone on foot inside the manoeuvring area who is not part of the unloading crew.»
What changes
What changes for whoever answers for the facility
The loading bay is a classic way out: it is the place where a large gate opens, a vehicle from outside comes in and there are boxes on the ground. The rule is simple, and the facility writes it: while the manoeuvre lasts, nobody may be on foot in that area except the unloading crew. Today that is enforced by watching, and whoever is watching is also counting pallets, signing the delivery note and talking to the driver. With IRIS the area watches itself for the whole manoeuvre, alerts while the gate is still open and logs the time of every entry and exit. No drama: just an area that is watched for the twenty minutes that matter.
What people usually ask
How does IRIS know who is allowed in the area during the manoeuvre?
It does not know, and it does not need to. What IRIS watches is a place and a stretch of time: the manoeuvring area is painted on the floor and drawn on the image as well, and while a lorry is unloading the facility decides who may be in it on foot. IRIS sees that there is a person on foot inside that zone during those minutes, and says so with the camera, the time and the video. Who that person is appears nowhere, because the camera does not know: that is settled by whoever goes to look.
What if the facility wants the area completely clear?
Then that is how it is set, and that is that. The facility writes the rule: you can ask for nobody on foot inside the area during the manoeuvre, or no more than two people, or nobody crossing the yellow line while the forklift is moving, or only one of those. You also decide the hours it applies, because a loading bay does not work the same at seven in the morning as it does mid-afternoon. We bring no factory-set rule of our own.
Does this leave a record of who was on the bay?
No. IRIS identifies nobody and cannot be used to sanction a particular person. What remains is the time someone entered the area and the time they left, together with the video of those minutes: a situation, not a person. No faces are recognised, no plates are read, there is no database of who is who and no record is kept on anyone. If the facility needs to know who was there, it knows from its own duty records, which is where that information belongs.
Simulation · how IRIS works
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
- You open it
- You confirm or dismiss
See it somewhere else
Who sees the child who has fallen at the far end of the playground?
14 cases: 13 raise an alert when something happens and one only measures. You see each image as it is, and then with what IRIS understands on top.
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.
And the best part
“The white van, Tuesday afternoon.”That is enough to find it.
You type it the way you would tell a colleague, and the matching minutes come back, each with its camera and its time. You do not need to remember the exact moment.
