Exclusion Zone Monitoring
Monitor restricted areas in real time and receive instant alerts when anyone enters defined exclusion zones, perimeter boundaries, or unauthorised access areas.
How It Works
Under the hood
Exclusion zone monitoring lets you draw virtual boundaries on any camera feed, defining areas where people should not be. These can be permanent zones like equipment compounds and server rooms, or temporary zones like active construction areas and event setups.
When anyone enters a defined exclusion zone, the system detects the breach immediately. It tracks the individual's movement within the zone, logs the entry point and time, and alerts the relevant team. For graduated responses, you can define buffer zones that generate warnings before someone reaches a critical area.
The system handles complex zone shapes, overlapping zones with different access levels, and time-based rules where a zone is restricted only during certain hours. All zone configurations are managed through a simple interface where operators draw boundaries directly on the camera view.
Why It Matters
The real-world impact
Restricted areas exist for safety and security reasons, but physical barriers aren't always practical. Construction sites have moving exclusion zones as work progresses. Warehouses need to restrict areas around active machinery without blocking legitimate workflow. Events need temporary restricted areas that change daily.
Archangel provides virtual boundaries that are as effective as physical ones for alerting, but far more flexible. Zones can be redrawn in minutes, activated on schedules, and monitored across dozens of cameras simultaneously. Every breach is documented, creating an access log that physical barriers cannot provide.

Capabilities
What it detects
Purpose-built detection models tuned for real-world conditions and operational environments.
Virtual Boundary Drawing
Draw exclusion zones of any shape directly on camera views. Support for polygons, rectangles, and complex multi-point boundaries.
Time-Based Zone Activation
Zones can be active 24/7 or on schedules. Restrict an area during work hours only, or activate temporary zones for specific events or operations.
Buffer Zone Warnings
Define graduated alert zones around critical areas. Generate warnings when someone approaches a restricted area, and critical alerts on actual breach.
Breach Logging & Evidence
Every zone entry is logged with timestamp, entry point, duration, and camera footage, creating a complete access audit trail for compliance.
