In emergencies, seconds matter. A blocked fire or emergency exit can lead to chaos, injury, or worse. While manual checks help, they are often inconsistent and delayed. Thankfully, AI-powered surveillance systems are transforming how we monitor emergency exits—detecting blockages instantly and ensuring safety is never compromised.
AI and Computer Vision in Action :
Modern AI uses computer vision to analyze live CCTV footage and detect obstructions in front of emergency exits. These systems are trained to identify common hazards—like boxes, carts, or furniture—and send alerts within seconds. Unlike humans, AI doesn’t blink or get distracted.
Real-Time Alerts and Safety Compliance :
Once a blockage is detected, AI systems can trigger real-time alerts via SMS, email, or dashboard notifications. This helps facility managers respond quickly, improving fire safety compliance and reducing liability. Many systems also capture time-stamped images for records or audits.
Practical Use Across Industries :
AI-powered exit monitoring is already being used in warehouses, hospitals, schools, malls, and more. These industries rely on 24/7 safety, and AI delivers just that—without needing constant supervision or manual checks.
