AI-Powered
Surveillance & video analytics.

Recording footage is table stakes. Recognising what's happening — and acting on it in real time — is where value lives. SMIPL's AI surveillance stack runs up to five concurrent analytics models per camera, turning passive feeds into operational intelligence.

Analytics Stack

Ten event-types.
Five concurrent per camera.

Each analytics model is tuned for the operational context — mining, logistics, safety, perimeter or environmental — and deployed at scale across diverse site conditions.

Perimeter intrusion detection Alert · Intrusion

Zone Intrusion Detection

Geofenced polygon-based intrusion alerting for restricted zones. Night-vision tolerant. Distinguishes people, vehicles and wildlife. Deployed at mine-perimeter, magazine storage and after-hours logistics zones.

Production · Coal India · 75+ Cameras
Safety gear violation Safety · PPE

PPE Violation Detection

Real-time helmet, high-visibility-vest and safety-gear compliance monitoring. Low-light capable. Generates auditable incident log for site-safety reporting and DGMS compliance documentation.

Production · Mining · 75+ Cameras
Smoke detection Env · Smoke

Smoke & Fire Recognition

Early-stage smoke plume detection — activates before traditional sensors trigger. Trained on dust-heavy coalfield environments to minimise false positives from natural haze and vehicle emissions.

Production · Stockyards · 75+ Cameras
Truck state detection Ops · Logistics

Truck-State Detection

Classifies loaded vs empty state at weighbridges and siding entry points. Correlates with RFID and weighbridge data to flag discrepancies — a core anti-pilferage and dispatch-integrity control.

Production · Weighbridge · 231+ Cameras
Vehicle entry exit detection Ops · ANPR

Number Plate Recognition (ANPR)

Registration-plate capture at boom barriers, weighbridges, check-posts. Sub-second recognition latency. Integrates with RFID and IVTS (GPS tracking) for unified vehicle movement log.

Production · Gates & Sidings · 300+ Cameras
Vehicle classification Ops · Classification

Vehicle Classification & Counting

Classifies cars, trucks, dumpers, tippers and two-wheelers across entry/exit zones. Zone-based flow counting for production-reporting dashboards. Supports directional count (in/out).

System Architecture

Edge to cloud.
Resilient by design.

Our architecture is federated — each site records locally for 30+ days, the central ICCC aggregates live feeds and analytics. Zero data loss during WAN outages.

LAYER 01

Edge Capture

ONVIF-compliant IP cameras — bullet, dome and PTZ — from Hikvision, Dahua, Sparsh, Bosch, CP Plus, Uniview and others. Support for existing brownfield camera integration.

IP Cameras PTZ / Bullet ONVIF
LAYER 02

Site NVR & Storage

64-channel NVRs with 80 TB surveillance-grade HDD at each operational area. Local 30-day retention. WAN-resilient — full continuity during connectivity outages.

64-Ch NVR 80 TB HDD 30-Day Retain
LAYER 03

Analytics Compute

Dedicated video-analytical servers running concurrent models per stream. GPU-accelerated inference. Up to 5 analytics models per camera without frame-rate drop.

VA Server GPU Inference Multi-Model
LAYER 04

ICCC & API

Enterprise VMS + command software with video-wall, escalation matrix, event log, ATR workflow. API/SDK for integration with RFID, IVTS, weighbridge, dispatch and CIL dashboards.
