Applications:

Outdoor Security Applications

• Intelligent Perimeter Protection Deploying AI cameras along fences or property boundaries to detect climbing, trespassing, or intrusion attempts in real time. IP66 protection ensures reliable operation in heavy rain, snow, or dust storms, while PoE simplifies cabling in remote areas.
• Construction Site Safety Enforcement Monitoring high-risk zones (e.g., crane areas, deep excavations) to automatically identify safety violations like missing helmets or harnesses. IP66 withstands dust/water exposure in harsh environments, and PoE enables flexible installation without dedicated power lines. Triggers instant alerts to supervisors 24/7.
• Traffic Violation Monitoring Enforcing no-parking rules on fire lanes, main roads, or emergency zones by detecting illegally parked vehicles and capturing license plates. AI distinguishes temporary stops from prolonged parking. IP66 endurance suits extreme outdoor conditions, and PoE supports >100m deployments without electrical infrastructure.
• Public Space Crowd Analytics Analyzing crowd density in plazas, stadiums, or transit hubs to flag risks (e.g., overcrowding, falls, fights). PoE allows scalable network coverage, while IP66 ensures longevity in coastal/humid regions. Provides real-time data for rapid security response during emergencies.
