Geohazard Early Warning

AI Cameras That Spot Landslides and Rockfall

An AI computer vision camera that recognises slope, road and bridge hazards on the device, day and night, in under a second.

What Does the Camera Detect?

Landslides, rockfall, debris flow and ground subsidence, plus structural failure such as bridge collapse.

Landslide across a road with a detection box

Landslide

Slope failure onto the road or track.

Boulders on a mountain road outlined by the detector

Rockfall

Individual rocks found and outlined.

Debris flow beside a guardrail outlined by the detector

Debris Flow

Moving mud and debris, including early signs.

Collapsed bridge span flagged by the detector

Bridge Collapse

Structural failure and abnormal movement.

Why Does Slope Monitoring Fall Short?

Patrols

Mountain roads and bridges are costly to walk and hard to cover often.

> 30%

Missed events can exceed 30% with single sensors, which also react to wind, light and vehicles.

> 5 min

Cloud analysis over weak mountain networks can delay a warning by more than five minutes.

How Does a Warning Reach the Road?

The AI runs on the camera, so a warning does not depend on the network.

  1. SeeThe camera watches the slope, bridge or portal, up to 400 m away.
  2. DecideThe edge AI chip recognises the hazard on the device, with recognition in under a second.
  3. Warn LocallyA wired roadside warning sign alerts drivers with no network needed.
  4. Inform the TeamAlerts, photos and live video reach the cloud platform and app over 4G.

What Is Inside the Camera?

F1.0 Super Aperture

Takes in about four times more light.

1/1.79 in Back-Lit CMOS

Nearly 50% more light than a standard sensor.

Uncooled Thermal Detector

Vanadium oxide focal plane with fine detail.

Edge AI Chip

High compute at low power on the camera.

Multimodal AI Model

Trained on images and text together.

Image Enhancement

Night boost, stabilisation and defog.

Moving Target Recognition

Filters static false alarms.

Multi-Band 4G

Stronger signal in remote places.

Cloud Platform and Mobile App

100,000+

Concurrent connections on a single server.

300 ms

Video latency, as low as. Manage cameras and alerts, and see alert photos and live video from anywhere.

Rain Removal

Why a Multimodal Transformer Model?

Hazard footage is rare, so the model learns from far less data and tunes in one step on a small set of site samples. Figures are the manufacturer's stated comparison with a CNN approach, with under 1% accuracy loss after quantisation.

Where Does It Protect People?

Railways

Early warning reduces injuries and property loss on the line.

Road tunnel portal under a slope

Tunnel Portals

Finds slope risk above portals before it reaches traffic.

Bridges

Spots abnormal movement from load, weather or ageing.

Field Examples

Example alerts from the camera manufacturer's field use, not VYROX projects. Site details are withheld, and times run from the first alert.

Slope Failure Caught Live

The camera flagged the failed hillside, logged the event as debris flow, and held the alert open until an operator cleared it.

Bridge Collapse: Four Alerts in Two Minutes

Rockfall Across a Mountain Road

Four steady alerts in 40 seconds, each with a photo, confirmed that debris and rock were blocking the road.

Questions

What is an AI geohazard camera?

It is an outdoor camera with an AI chip inside that recognises landslides, rockfall, debris flow and bridge collapse and raises an alert without sending video to a server first.

Does it work without internet?

Yes. Recognition runs on the camera and a wired local warning sign works with no network. 4G is used to send alerts and video to the cloud platform and app.

Does it work at night and in fog?

Yes. Night enhancement, defog, rain removal and stabilisation clean the picture, and it sees in full colour down to 0.0001 lux.

How fast is recognition?

Recognition response is under one second, compared with delays of minutes when analysis depends on the cloud.

Can it replace engineers or road closures?

No. It is a safety aid, not a guarantee. Misses and false alarms can happen, so it supports inspection and safety procedures and never replaces them.
