Prison Surveillance
Advanced Surveillance Solutions for Prisons with Infrared Technology
As the number of incidents in prisons increases, prison surveillance requires sophisticated and reliable technology. Securing the perimeter of these establishments is critical, with the imperative of protecting the lives of inmates and prison officers while preventing any form of external or internal threat.
Prison Surveillance: Main Challenges
Perimeter Security
The use of advanced technologies to monitor large portions of fences, walls, and other physical barriers to detect attempts of intrusion or escape. Such wide area surveillance generally involves important civil engineering costs to install the required security systems.
Internal Zone Control
Cameras and sensors are strategically placed inside the facility to monitor the movements of inmates, prevent riots, violence, and vandalism, and oversee restricted areas.
Prison Surveillance: Main Threats
Introduction of contraband
Contraband, often introduced during visits or through UAVs, includes illicit substances, improvised weapons, communication devices and other prohibited items. Contraband leads to an underground economy, fuelling internal violence, and allowing prisoners to pursue criminal activities.
External threats
External actors may orchestrate attacks, send dangerous packages, or use drones to deliver contraband or monitor security procedures, thereby undermining perimeter security, encouraging the introduction of dangerous elements and disrupting operations.
Jail Surveillance Solution
With Spynel Panoramic Infrared Cameras
HGH Infrared Systems has developed an innovative panoramic solution detecting and categorizing long-range threats. The SPYNEL infrared camera range protects any kind of critical infrastructures or military assets thanks to a 360° camera. Fully passive, the SPYNEL camera ensures real-time panoramic video and automatic detection, classification & tracking.
How to secure Prison?
Why choosing Spynel for Prison Surveillance?
Perimeter surveillance during & before intrusion
A single SPYNEL Infrared Panoramic Camera could monitor fences, walls and other physical barriers to detect intrusion or escape attempts. Virtual crossing lines could be drawn for early-warning detection when a suspicious object is approaching the jail.
Minimum infrastructure costs
When traditional cameras such as CCTVs required dedicated poles and wiring, a single SPYNEL camera could cover a wide area of the prison with minimum civil engineering costs.
Solution for Ground & Air surveillance
Whereas SPYNEL could be used for traditional land intrusion, the system could be also used for counter-UAS, to detect drones approaching the prison.
Easy Integration with VMS
Whereas most of the videosurveillance in prison are managed through a VMS (Video Management Software), Cyclope software, combined with SPYNEL camera, is fully compatible with such software (ONVIF compliant).
