Personnel Monitoring for Hydroelectric Facilities

It helps to increase the work performance of the hydroelectric power plant staff and to reduce risks attributable to the human factor

How it works

You can configure up to six staff activity monitoring zones within the field of view of each camera
The system captures the movement or its absence in the activity monitoring zone in real time
It there is no motion for a period of time longer that the one preset, you receive an immediate notification to your monitor, phone or e-mail.

Your benefits

You do not need to look at the video surveillance monitors 24 hours a day. Thanks to the Personnel Monitoring module, you can make effective management decisions related to:

evaluation of time and quality of work of the hydroelectric power plant employees
optimization of the hydroelectric power plant incentive programs and work processes

Thus, you can improve your staff’s work performance and reduce the risks of occurrence of undesirable situations related to the absence of personnel in the workplace.

Hard Hats Detection for Hydroelectric Facilities

The detector allows you to minimize the level of industrial injuries and hydroelectric power plant employees’ mortality due to violation of safety regulations by the employees

How it works

Your video surveillance system with the activated Hard Hats Detection module identifies a person in the frame and detects the presence of a hard hat on his head.

In the event of an absence of hard hat on the head of a person, you will automatically receive a notification on your monitor, phone or e-mail.

All control events are automatically logged. You can find a video fragment with the violation in the archive at any time.

Your benefits

You do not need to look at monitors of video surveillance cameras 24 hours a day.

Thanks to the Hard Hats Detection module you can:

minimize the cases of violation of safety regulations by the hydroelectric power plant employees
prevent injuries in the workplace
avoid penalties from regulatory authorities
investigate the circumstances of cases of safety regulations violation

Tracking for Hydroelectric Facilities

It is used to to minimize loss of property caused by the actions of third parties and to reduce the probability of terrorist acts on the territory of a hydroelectric power plant

How it works

You can set up:

The minimal size of objects the movement of which must be monitored
The maximum shift of object from one frame to the other must be less than 1,5 frames

You receive an immediate notification to your monitor, phone or e-mail:

when an object crosses the control line (intrusion into the territory, etc.)
when an object moves in the area
when an object has remained in the area for a long time

You can also search in the archive for fragments of the video on which an object crosses the control line or remains in the control zone.

Your benefits

You do not need to look at video surveillance monitors 24 hours a day. Thanks to the Tracking module, you can dispatch security forces to neutralize the intruder and thus:

ensure the safety of hydroelectric power plant staff
prevent a possible terrorist attack
safeguard the property of a hydroelectric power plant

In addition, you can save server capacity by configuring the video recording to start only when a control event occurs.

Face Detection for Hydroelectric Facilities

Helps to minimize property loss, to avoid threats to life and health of hydroelectric power plant staff

How it works

You can:

see all the faces which got into the field of vision of the camera
receive automatic notifications upon detection of faces to the monitor, phone or e-mail
generate reports about the persons whose presence was detected, with the indication of the detection time
save detected faces in JPG format

Your benefits

You do not need to look at video surveillance monitors 24 hours a day. Thru the use of the Face Detection module, you can find a person by the face that got into the field of view of the camera installed in an off-limits zone and/or during the time when it is prohibited to be in a zone.

Thus, you can prevent the occurrence of accidents threatening the safety of the hydroelectric power plant staff and property.

Moreover, the images of the faces stored in the database with the information regarding the time and place of their detection may, for example help you to investigate accidents and similar events.
