Some zones shouldn’t have anyone in them — a warehouse aisle at 2am, a server room on a weekend, a hazardous area between shifts. Human Intrusion watches those spaces continuously and flags any human presence the moment it appears, whoever it is.
Why it matters
Some areas aren’t dangerous because of who might enter — they’re dangerous because no one should be there at all.
Warehouses and server rooms often sit unmonitored overnight, exactly when unauthorised entry is hardest to explain away.
Some zones are restricted for safety, not secrecy — a confined space or high-voltage area is dangerous for anyone present, authorised or not.
A human patrol checking a warehouse once an hour still leaves fifty-nine minutes of no one watching.
What’s inside
Mark exactly which areas within a camera’s view should always be treated as off-limits to any human presence.
Set a zone to only trigger outside operating hours — busy during the day, restricted the moment the shift ends.
Any human presence in a restricted zone triggers an alert immediately — not on the next scheduled review of the footage.
Security personnel can pull up the live feed the moment an alert fires, assess the situation, and decide how to respond.
How it flows
Mark the zone as restricted, and set whether it applies at all times or only outside operating hours.
The camera watches continuously, and any human presence in the zone — during the restricted window — triggers detection instantly.
Security personnel get an alert with the live feed attached, so they can assess and respond before dispatching anyone in person.
Human Intrusion flags any human presence in a zone that should be empty — it doesn’t check identity at all. Stranger Detection works the other way: it checks faces against a registered database in areas people do pass through. Sites often run both — Human Intrusion for spaces that should stay empty, Stranger Detection for spaces that should only admit known faces.

A Collie robot can extend Human Intrusion detection into aisles and corners a fixed camera doesn’t cover, running the same after-hours logic on a moving patrol route through a warehouse or hazardous area overnight.
Where it’s deployed
Overnight monitoring of storage aisles and loading areas outside operating hours.
Continuous restriction on a space that should only ever be entered on a scheduled basis.
Industrial zones restricted for safety, where presence itself is the risk, regardless of who it is.
Unfinished or unstable areas that need to stay empty overnight and on non-working days.
It flags when a person enters a zone that’s meant to be restricted or unoccupied – such as a hazardous area, sterile zone, or after-hours perimeter.
Stranger Detection is about identity – whether a face matches a registered profile. Human Intrusion is about location – whether anyone, recognised or not, has entered a zone they shouldn’t be in.
Yes, restricted zones are configured per site and per camera, so a hazardous machinery area or a sterile hospital zone can each have its own boundary and rules.
Yes, detection is real-time, so security or safety staff are notified as the intrusion happens rather than discovering it later in a video review.
Yes – patrol robots carry the same detection module, so a legged or wheeled unit can watch for intrusion in blind spots a fixed camera can’t reach.
