Purpose-built for correctional facility security operations

  • A fenced facility with industrial buildings, two police vehicles, a small drone mid-flight, a small fixed-wing aircraft, and people standing near the fence

    Counter-unauthorized drone operations

    Intercept contraband delivery drones with automated response, capturing high-resolution evidence of unauthorized aircraft and operator locations.

  • Thermal image showing a prison complex with barbed wire fences and a person climbing the fence

    Perimeter alarm verification

    Verify intrusion alarms in under 2 minutes with overhead video, filtering false alarms before staff dispatch.

  • Aerial view of a prison yard with inmates in grey uniforms and a watchtower surrounded by tall fences topped with barbed wire

    Yard monitoring and contraband detection

    Detect concealed contraband, inmate coordination patterns, and unusual groupings invisible from ground perspective.

  • Gravel-covered rooftop with multiple HVAC units and solar panels, surrounded by barbed wire fences and a watchtower in the background

    Rooftop and elevated inspection

    Inspect building rooftops for contraband drops and infrastructure issues without dangerous staff access.

  • Aerial view of a prison yard with inmates in orange uniforms gathered in the center and guards near the entrance

    Emergency incident documentation

    Provide command staff with live overhead video during fights, disturbances, and medical emergencies.

  • Aerial nighttime view of a large secure prison facility with multiple buildings, surrounded by fences and watchtowers

    Drop zone surveillance

    Monitor known contraband drop zones with unpredictable timing, thermal detection, and pattern intelligence.

  • Thermal image of a large prison complex with surrounding fence, a road with vehicles, and a bright heat signature of a person running through nearby trees

    Escape response and search

    Search perimeter areas and adjacent properties with thermal imaging for rapid escapee location and tracking.

  • Aerial view of a large prison complex with multiple rectangular buildings, security fences, and guard towers surrounded by open fields

    Infrastructure compliance inspections

    Document perimeter fence condition, lighting, and security infrastructure for regulatory compliance and maintenance planning.

AI agents built for correctional security operations

Assist correctional security teams by automatically highlighting contraband, threats, and behavioral anomalies, reducing manual review across continuous surveillance missions.

  • Aerial view of a prison yard enclosed by high fences and surrounded by gray concrete buildings with metal roofs

    Contraband object detection

    Identify packages, drones, tools, and weapons in aerial imagery to accelerate interdiction and physical search operations.

  • Thermal image of a vehicle and a person near the entrance of a secured fenced facility with multiple buildings at night

    Human and vehicle detection

    Detect unauthorized persons near perimeters, rooftops, and restricted zones to trigger immediate security response protocols.

  • Nighttime thermal image of a fenced prison complex with multiple buildings and two guard towers at the corners

    Thermal anomaly analysis

    Identify recently-placed contraband through heat signatures distinct from surroundings, enabling interception before inmate retrieval occurs.

  • Side-by-side aerial images of a prison roof during previous and current inspection, highlighting hidden objects in the current view

    Change detection monitoring

    Compare current imagery to historical baseline, highlighting new objects in yards, rooftops, and concealment zones automatically.

  • Aerial view of a prison yard with inmates in orange uniforms gathered near the fence, surrounded by watchtowers and high security walls

    Behavioral pattern recognition

    Detect unusual inmate groupings, coordination patterns, and avoidance behaviors suggesting gang tensions or planned disturbances.

  • Night aerial thermal image of a brightly lit prison complex with surrounding fences and a lone bright deer outside the perimeter

    False alarm filtering

    Eliminate wildlife and weather false positives from perimeter alarms before staff dispatch, reducing response burden significantly.

  • Collage showing an aerial view of a prison, a rooftop with HVAC units and solar panels, a thermal heat map, and a hole cut through a chain-link fence

    Evidence compilation automation

    Generate GPS-tagged, timestamped video packages with facility map overlays for investigations and legal proceedings automatically.

  • Aerial view of a fenced prison complex with multiple buildings, guard towers, and surrounding barren land

    Pattern intelligence reporting

    Analyze contraband delivery timing, high-risk zones, and coordination methods to guide resource allocation and security planning.
