Restricted zone & area monitoring

Every site has areas that should be off-limits — hazardous machine zones, chemical stores, server rooms, vaults, height-work areas. Keeping people out of them manually is impossible to sustain around the clock.

Vianix restricted zone monitoring lets you draw virtual boundaries on any camera and get an instant alert the moment someone enters a zone they shouldn't — for both safety and security.

Overview

What is restricted zone & area monitoring?

Restricted zone monitoring uses computer vision to enforce virtual boundaries within a camera's view. You define which areas are off-limits — or which require specific conditions — and the system alerts in real time when a person enters a restricted, hazardous or unauthorised zone, without any physical barrier or sensor.

Capabilities

What it does

Draw virtual zones

Define restricted areas on any camera feed — no physical barriers or sensors needed.

Instant entry alerts

Get notified the moment a person enters a no-entry or hazardous zone.

Per-zone rules

Different zones, different rules — danger areas, stores, vaults, height-work areas.

Time-based conditions

Apply rules by shift or hours — e.g. an area off-limits after closing.

Unattended-area alerts

Inversely, detect when a zone that should be manned is left empty.

Proof clips

Every alert includes footage for safety records and verification.

Benefits

Why it matters

Prevent accidents

Keep people out of hazardous machine and height-work zones.

Protect sensitive areas

Secure stores, vaults, server rooms and labs from unauthorised access.

No physical barriers

Virtual zones reconfigure instantly as your site changes.

Works with your CCTV

Layers onto existing cameras over RTSP/ONVIF.

In practice

A real scenario

Example: During a busy shift, a worker steps into the danger zone around an operating press machine. Vianix detects the zone breach instantly, alerts the floor supervisor with a clip, and logs it — turning a potential accident into a prevented one, without anyone needing to watch that camera.

FAQ

Restricted zone & area monitoring — questions answered

How do restricted zones work?
You draw virtual boundaries on any camera's view to define off-limits areas. Vianix alerts in real time when a person enters them — no physical barrier or sensor is needed.
Can different zones have different rules?
Yes. Each zone can have its own rules and even time-based conditions — for example, an area that's off-limits only after working hours.
Can it detect unmanned areas too?
Yes. The same technology can alert when a zone that should be staffed is left unattended, useful for coverage and service monitoring.
Does it use existing cameras?
Yes. Restricted zone monitoring runs on your existing CCTV over RTSP and ONVIF, with no new hardware.
Can rules be changed without a technician?
Yes. Zones and rules are configured in software and can be adjusted as your site or needs change, without replacing hardware.
Does this work with my existing CCTV cameras?
Yes. Vianix is camera-agnostic and works with your existing IP cameras and NVR over RTSP and ONVIF — including Hikvision, CP Plus, Dahua and other major brands — so there's no need to buy new hardware.
How are alerts delivered?
Vianix sends real-time alerts via WhatsApp, SMS, email or the on-site dashboard, each with a short video clip as proof, routed to the person responsible for that camera or zone.
Can it run on-premise so data stays private?
Yes. Vianix offers full on-premise deployment where all video and processing stay inside your own network and nothing reaches any external cloud — aligned with India's DPDP Act 2023.
How quickly can it be set up?
Most deployments go live in days. We connect to your existing cameras, configure the detections you need, tune them, and hand over — so your team starts getting alerts quickly. The best starting point is a free proof-of-concept on your own feeds.
