Perimeter AI
Perimeter AI helps utilities & cni operators continuously understand perimeter conditions across safety-critical areas. Instead of relying only on manual supervision or retrospective reporting, the agent analyses existing CCTV streams against site-specific policy and detects the observable conditions that precede incidents. When something matters, GuardianOS evaluates the zone policy, assigns a severity, routes the alert to the responsible owner, captures time-bounded evidence and updates the safety dashboard — without replacing a single camera.
The problem this agent solves
Today, perimeter issues in utilities & cni operations are found by whoever happens to be looking. Coverage is inconsistent between shifts, evidence is reconstructed after the fact, and the same conditions repeat until they cause harm, downtime or a failed audit.
Why it matters: Without Perimeter AI, perimeter risk is only visible when someone reports it — usually after the event. With it, the same cameras you already own become a continuous, policy-aware observer that never blinks, never changes between shifts and always produces the record your auditors ask for.
What the agent does
- Detects perimeter conditions on selected cameras and zones in real time
- Applies your configured policy, severity model and operating schedule
- Suppresses repeat and low-confidence events to protect operator attention
- Escalates to the correct owner when the condition persists or worsens
- Creates a complete evidence package for every confirmed event
How it works
- Connect existing RTSP/ONVIF camera streams — no new hardware required in most sites
- Vision models run on the GuardianOS edge runtime, keeping video local
- Detections are scored against your AI Policy & Risk Studio rules
- Workflow Studio decides who is notified, how fast, and what happens next
- Evidence clips and metadata are written to the Evidence Vault with retention rules
Business outcomes
- 34% reduction in repeat perimeter events within the first two quarters
- Mean time to intervene reduced from minutes to under 56 seconds
- Audit evidence assembled automatically instead of manually
- Measurable safety score improvement per site and per zone
Compliance benefits
- Continuous, timestamped evidence for regulator and insurer requests
- Demonstrable control effectiveness for internal audit
- Consistent policy enforcement across shifts, sites and contractors
