Hanwha Vision, a global leader in video surveillance and security solutions, introduces its Blocked Exit Detection AI Pack – AIA-C01BLK, a designed to enhance workplace safety by ensuring unobstructed emergency exits. Exclusively compatible with Hanwha Vision’s P AI cameras, this add-on to the WiseAI app empowers safety officers and facility managers with real-time monitoring and automated alerts to prevent accidents, maintain clear exit routes, and comply with safety regulations, including OSHA standards.

The Blocked Exit Detection add on continuously monitors exits, leveraging powerful scene change algorithms to detect any obstructions. Once an obstruction is identified, the system tracks the duration of the blockage and generates an alarm if it persists beyond a specified amount of time—up to 60 minutes (set by the user from 5 min to 60 mins). This ensures that safety issues are addressed before they pose a significant risk, whether it’s an object left in front of an emergency exit or an issue that could obstruct quick evacuation during an emergency.

This AI-powered solution supports up to three area settings, enabling flexibility in monitoring multiple emergency exits or critical zones. Its automated alarm system provides both visual and auditory notifications (with the right equipment and configurations), ensuring rapid response from workers and managers. Alerts can be sent to connected speakers, emails, and through MQTT protocols, ensuring the safety of all personnel in real time.

In addition to blocked exit detection, the AIA-C01BLK system also supports integration with leading video management platforms like Milestone and Genetec, providing centralized control and monitoring across facilities. With its ability to log and analyze detected events, organizations can identify recurring blockage issues and implement preventive measures to maintain a safe working environment.

The Blocked Exit Detection AI Pack offers significant benefits across various industries. In retail stores, it helps ensure clear exits, safeguarding both customers and staff. Healthcare facilities, educational institutions, hospitality, manufacturing, and office buildings all benefit from this robust solution by maintaining clear, accessible exit routes, enhancing safety and compliance with fire safety regulations.
