Pain points
The challenge
Sound familiar? These are the problems our customers bring to us every week.
High-voltage and high-temperature areas leave no room for human error.
Fires in cable trenches and battery rooms spread fast.
Solution overview
How this solution works
Unattended substations, thermal power plants and new-energy sites monitored for intrusion, fire and operational discipline.
Every XCAN AI Box runs its algorithms on the edge, which means detection continues even when the network does not. Existing cameras are reused, alerts are verified with snapshots and clips, and all events land in one management console.
How it works
Deployment in four steps
From the cameras you already own to a fully monitored site - typically inside one week.
Protect unmanned sites
Intrusion, loitering and door alerts at every substation, day and night.
Guard high-risk zones
Restricted-area alarms around switchgear, transformers and turbine halls.
Detect fire early
Video smoke and flame detection in cable trenches, battery rooms and stores.
Supervise operations
Verify work permits, PPE and lone-worker safety procedures.
Algorithm library
AI algorithms used in this solution
Each algorithm can be enabled per channel, per schedule, with its own sensitivity and alarm rule.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can it work where there is strong electromagnetic interference?
Yes. Use fibre or shielded network cabling and industrial-grade cameras; the AI box itself is EMC-tested for industrial environments.
Does smoke detection replace our fire panel?
No - it complements it. Video detection often catches the very first visible smoke, giving valuable seconds before conventional detectors trigger.
