Why choose Scylla for corrections and detention
Correctional teams must protect staff and people in custody while managing violence, restricted-area breaches and safety incidents across housing units, corridors and yards. Scylla AI Video Analytics helps teams identify events requiring attention and locate relevant footage.
From real-time detection to incident investigation
Focus your deployment on the locations and events that matter most to your facility. Scylla combines specialized detection with identity alerts and video search to support daily operations and post-incident review.
Detect fights and aggressive behavior
Flag visible movements associated with fighting and physical aggression in monitored dayrooms, corridors, recreation areas and other shared spaces. Alerts help staff locate potential incidents and assess the need for intervention, reducing reliance on someone noticing the event on a live monitor.
Identify visible weapons
Scylla Knife and Gun Detection alert operators to visible knives and firearms, helping correctional teams assess potential threats in monitored areas, including entrances, visitation areas and perimeter approaches. Associated imagery supports incident verification and response coordination. These capabilities complement physical screening and searches; they do not detect concealed weapons.
Monitor perimeters and restricted areas
Detect people or vehicles entering configured zones or crossing defined boundaries. Apply monitoring to perimeter approaches, service entrances and restricted outdoor areas, with schedules suited to facility operations
Support identification at monitored locations
Compare visible faces with authorized watchlists to support identity verification and locate relevant sightings across connected cameras. Candidate matches and associated imagery give personnel information to review, helping them assess identity within approved operational procedures.
Reconstruct incidents with less manual searching
Search indexed video using appearance attributes, time, location, natural-language descriptions or a reference image. Review candidate sightings across cameras to reconstruct movements before and after an incident, then export reports containing selected imagery and metadata for investigative review.
Recognize visible safety incidents
Alert personnel to visible smoke, flames or falls in monitored areas, helping teams locate events and assess the appropriate response. These capabilities add video-based awareness alongside existing fire-safety systems, staff rounds and emergency procedures.
