In the past, Intrusion detection systems were only used in governments and high-value commercial premises because of the high costs. However, over time these systems have become a standard requirement for commercial spaces especially due to the need for greater security.

Today companies can opt-in for legacy or conventional solutions that are hardware-driven with the most common being sensor-based solutions, with 10-second delayed alarm systems or adopt a new way of securing their premises by Computer vision or Video surveillance.

The earliest known video surveillance technology was used to safely monitor the development and launch of V-2 rockets in 1942. From a safe distance, scientists and engineers could observe performances and identify failures. Since then, video systems have acted as an extension of our eyes and ears. A steady stream of technology developments and manufacturing advancements have taken video surveillance to such a level that we feel comfortable relying on it for security purposes.

A machine vision-driven CCTV algorithm learns and improves pointing out and documenting breaches based on video feed in real-time, imagine teaching your camera how a human looks like, then telling your camera that area X between 11:00 PM to 5 AM should not have any humans- your camera powered by the Machine vision algorithm adheres to this rule and notifies you every time it’s breached. This is the basic foundation, companies have leveraged solutions that run on highly complex and interconnected rules.

Let’s take a Pharma company’s manufacturing unit as an example, to explore some use cases:

1. Unique rules for access control — block perimeters around processing machines during peak production cycles and unblock them for logistical swiftness(rather than cordoning off areas completely)
2. Basic perimeter fencing that can be customised to have alerts based on time, facial recognition and volume
3. Instant alerts on non-compliance of people/traffic limits in certain areas
4. Access control based on Facial recognition technology to only allow Quality assurance staff in the final product storage bay- real-time alerts and locks for other departments

Hipla’s Vision Cloud solution allows you to Manage Security, Safety and GMP protocols

Compliance, by putting your assets to work and integrating all camera feed into one smart dashboard.

Here’s an overview

The benefits of instantly automating security and EHS compliance can lead to significant cost savings- close to 80%. But, the icing on the cake isn’t just the cost-savings, but it is the increased window of intelligence that you open by ensuring not a single incident is missed due to human error.
