Intelligent Video Surveillance Robots
All-round surveillance in autonomous patrolling mode
Robot performs onboard processing of video from 6 panoramic cameras which aim is a human detection. Images from these cameras are alternately transmitted to the alarm channel, for subsequent wireless transmission via 4G or WiFi into the ONVIF CMS.
In the case when a person appears in the field of view of any camera, the channel search stops and only the video where the person was detected is transmitted. On a video stream this person will be marked with a red frame. At the same time, Security Robot Messenger sends a photo of the detected person and a link to download a 10-second video clip of the moment when person was detected on the smartphone of a guard or operator.
Despite that human was detected in the video of one of the cameras, the intelligent video surveillance system continues to analyze images from other cameras. If a person is detected on a video from them, the image is also transmitted to the « alarm channel ». The relevant message is sent to the Security Robot Messenger. When a person disappears from the camera’s view, after 3 seconds this video stream is deleted from the “alarm channel”.
Continuous all-round visibility, detection of people at medium distances makes S5.2 Prompt robot ideal for patrolling twisted routes in confined spaces in medium-sized areas. The robot is equipped with a highly efficient Wi-Fi MESH antenna and this allows it to be used as a repeater for transmitting data from other robots that are outside the line of sight of a Wi-Fi base station.
S5.2 Prompt is a perfect solution for night mobile video surveillance.
PTZ video surveillance from automatically changed positions
Apart from video analysis of images from panoramic cameras, this robot model analyzes the PTZ camera image. PTZ camera rotates and scans the surrounding area until a person is detected. The image from the PTZ camera will always be transmitted over the wireless communication channel to the ONVIF CMS.
In case if a person is detected by the embedded intelligent video surveillance system, camera stops the rotation and carries out its tracking. Analyzing the image, a face search in a front position is performed. Camera uses zoom control to get a photo of a person with the necessary resolution. In the ONVIF CMS video stream, the face of the detected person is highlighted with a blue frame, and the figure of the person is red. A photo of a person’s face and body is sent to the Security Robot Messenger along with a link to a video fragment.
An intelligent video surveillance system keeps tracking a person to a predetermined interval of time, after which an all-round scan continues. Detection and recognition of objects at a long distance by automatically controlled PTZ camera, continuous analysis of an all-round panorama makes 5.2 robot indispensable for robotic patrolling large areas. Typical use of the robot involves stopping it in a position that is optimal for observing a large portion of the protected area, and ensure video surveillance of it by rotating the PTZ camera.
Changing the positions of observation by the robot is reasonable after several tens turns of the PTZ camera, i.e. after 10 – 15 minutes.
Patrouilles collaboratives
Les robots de sécurité sont conçus pour patrouiller principalement en groupes. L’utilisation d’un groupe de robots de sécurité permet d’obtenir une fiabilité totale en matière de vidéosurveillance recouvrant de vastes périmètres roulant sur tout type de terrain (gazon, béton, boue, terre).
Pour gérer l’interaction des robots, un mode de patrouille collaboratif se basant sur l’IA a été développé. L’IA se met en action afin de résoudre entre autres des tâches précédemment non programmées. L’interaction des robots en tant qu’agents intelligents permet d’atteindre une solution optimale.
Le mode de patrouille collaborative permet notamment de: synchroniser les mouvements pour une répartition uniforme sur l’entièreté du site; d’effectuer une surveillance vidéo séquentielle des zones communes à partir de différents points d’observation; de redistribuer les itinéraires de patrouille en cas d’arrêt d’un robot et de choisir la meilleure position pour la retransmission dans les réseaux MESH WIFI.
Transmission d’événements vidéo et d’alarme
Le transfert des images vidéo et de signaux d’alarme du robot est effectué via des réseaux 4G ou Wi-Fi. Pour une surveillance vidéo continue, il est raisonnable d’utiliser le Wi-Fi. Lors de l’utilisation de robots équipés d’un système de vidéosurveillance intelligent autonome et de reconnaissance humaine, il est pratique d’utiliser les capacités de réseaux 4G. Dans ce dernier cas, le trafic généré par le robot est assez faible et l’installation ne nécessite pas d’efforts supplémentaires pour créer un réseau Wi-Fi avec une couverture fiable. Dans certains cas, l’utilisation combinée des deux méthodes de transfert de données est pratique.
Pour réduire le trafic, vous pouvez utiliser le Wi-Fi dans des conditions de visibilité directe du point d’accès. Si le robot est situé dans une zone éloignée du territoire patrouillé ou dans la zone de couverture incertaine d’un réseau Wi-Fi, les routeurs du robot basculent automatiquement sur les canaux 4G des opérateurs cellulaires. Le fonctionnement des robots sur l’itinéraire de patrouille s’accompagne d’alertes, via le service de messagerie instantanée Security Robot Messenger. Le service transmet des photos, des fragments vidéo d’événements d’alarme détectés par le système d’analyse vidéo et informe sur l’état du robot. Les messages sont affichés sur le smartphone d’un gardien, opérateur ou propriétaire de l’installation gardée.
Collaborative Patrolling
Security robots are designed for patrolling as parts of a group. Using a group of security robots enables to achieve the highest reliability in intelligent video surveillance over most spacious guarded areas.
To manage robots interaction, AI-featured collaborative patrolling mode has been developed. The AI snaps into action when solving previously unprogrammed tasks, interaction of robots as intelligent agents enables to reach an optimal solution.
Collaborative patrol mode allows to: synchronize movement for evenly distribution throughout the site; to perform sequential video surveillance of common areas areas from different observation points; to redistribute patrolling routes in case of stops for recharging, and to choose the best position for retransmission in the MESH WIFI networks.
Voyants de fonctionnement automatique
Le mât de vidéosurveillance des robots de sécurité est équipé de lumières LED. Différentes couleurs sont programmées et s’affichent selon la nécessité (signal d’alarme, appel d’urgence, batterie faible etc). La forte luminosité et la hauteur de la tourelle permettent de déterminer le mode de fonctionnement du robot à une distance considérable, rendant le robot visible et permettant de dissuader des individus mal intentionnés.
Bouton d’avertissement sonore et d’appel vers l’opérateur
Les robots sont équipés d’un système de haut parleurs, permettant des avertissements sonores, et d’un interphone IP. Ce système permet de jouer à plusieurs reprises les phrases prédéfinies. Leur déclenchement s’effectue soit automatiquement lorsqu’une personne apparaît dans le champ de vision des caméras, soit manuellement par téléguidage. Si une personne reste à proximité du robot, souhaitant appeler un opérateur, le robot est équipé d’un bouton d’appel.
3 modèles de robots de patrouille de sécurité
Tous les modèles de robots de sécurité ont les mêmes capacités de patrouille autonome collaborative. Leur différence réside en matière de vidéosurveillance & fonctionnalités.
Embedded video analytics or interaction with the CMS server
Robots without an IP index in a model name are equipped with a built-in analytics system and transfer photo, video files in the event of a real threat, finding people in the field of view of cameras. In fact, it is an autonomous security system consisting of a group of robots and transmitting alarm messages to the security guard, his manager, owner, smartphone or desktop computer without special software.
Robots with an IP index in a model name are designed to work as part of video surveillance systems with fixed video analysis servers. In essence, this is a team of self-moving cameras, all of which are given to CMS analytics or its operator.
Panoramic video surveillance with PTZ camera or without it
All models of robots provide panoramic surveillance through six high-resolution cameras arranged in a circle. These cameras allows to continuously monitor the area in the vicinity of the robot. On robots with 5.2 index in model name in addition to the panoramic cameras, a PTZ camera is installed. It gives the opportunity to zoom in to fragments of the environment or to scan the entire area during continuous rotation.
For the detection of faces and people in the field of view of cameras, supercomputers are installed in robots. One for processing all panoramic cameras, the second for PTZ only.

Équipements & matériaux supplémentaires
Pour un fonctionnement autonome des robots dans une zone, il est nécessaire d’installer des équipements fixes supplémentaires: une station GPS pour les corrections d’un système de navigation par satellite; une unité de communication Abox pour organiser les connexions sans fil entre les robots et le réseau Wi-Fi pour la consultation d’images en direct.
Afin de charger automatiquement les batteries des robots, des bornes de recharge automatiques doivent être situées aux endroits stratégiques. En règle générale, une station de recharge est requise pour deux robots en patrouille. La station de recharge automatique ne nécessite aucun abri et sera connectée à un réseau 220V. Dans le cas d’une utilisation non permanente des robots, il est nécessaire de prévoir une zone de stationnement pour une patrouille automatique ultérieure.
24/7 Surveillance virtuelle
Pendant le déploiement, les données sur le fonctionnement des systèmes internes du robot sont transmises au centre de surveillance virtuel et de support technique. En cas de dysfonctionnement, l’opérateur du centre de surveillance informe le service local technique de la nécessité d’intervenir sur le lieu.
Le centre de surveillance virtuel n’a accès qu’aux données de télémétrie du robot et ne peut pas obtenir les images des caméras de surveillance de sorte que le volume des données transmises ne génère pas de trafic important sur le réseau. L’état du système du robot est affiché sur l’interface graphique intégrée sur la tourelle. Il permet de diagnostiquer tout arrêt du robot et de prendre les mesures sans connecter d’appareils et d’ordinateurs supplémentaires.

Le système d’analyse vidéo du robot Prompt
On board the Prompt robot, the system processes images from 6 panoramic cameras. The images from these cameras are transmitted in turns to an alarm system video channel that is accessible for wireless (4G or Wi-Fi) hookup to an ONVIF CMS. When the image of a person appears on the camera display, the channel sweep is stopped, and only the image where a human being has been recognized is transmitted to the alarm system video channel. On the display, the recognized human being is highlighted with a red frame. At the same time, the Security Robot Messenger receives a photo with the human being, as well as a link to download the 10-second video fragment starting from the time the person was detected.
Even if one of the cameras reveals a person, the video analysis system continues analyzing the images from other video cameras in turns. If another camera reveals a human being, then video from that is also fed into the alarm system video channel. The corresponding message is sent to the Security Robot Messenger. All of the channels via which people are revealed are added to the alarm system’s video channel. When a person disappears from the camera’s field of vision, after 3 seconds that video is removed from the alarm system’s video channel.
L’analyse vidéo du robot de sécurité Picard
Along with video analysis of images from panoramic cameras – similar to the Prompt robot – the Picard robot analyzes images from PTZ cameras, and controls their movement. The PTZ cameras scan the surrounding space using a shifting zoom, and transmit the images to a second video alarm channel that is accessible for wireless (4G or Wi-Fi) hookup to an ONVIF CMS.
If a human being or another object is revealed that is determined by using a supplemental object library (for example, an automobile), then it is highlighted by a red frame, and the photo is sent off to Security Robot Messenger, along with a link to download the relevant 10-second video fragment. At the same time, the object tracking operation mode is switched on via swiveling the PTZ camera.
When a human being is revealed, the image is analyzed to look for the person’s face from a frontal position. When the front face position is found, the image is highlighted by a dark blue frame, and the photo is transmitted to the Security Robot Messenger. Control of the PTZ camera can be switched over to manual operation mode by action commands from the ONVIF CMS
