Ioimage: video analytics for Botswanian Correctional Facility. Ioimage announced that Botswana’s Department of Correctional Services has installed the company’s video analytics at its First Offenders Correctional Facility in Gabarone, Botswana to control the movement of prisoners and reduce the number of inmate incidents.

The prison, which measures 22,500 m2, needed a reliable and accurate perimeter protection solution that would integrate with the existing video management system. It also had to be easy to operate and capable of withstanding the region’s harsh weather conditions.

The company’s intelligent video was integrated into a “double knock” detection system that also employs kinetic energy sensors.

Since a convict would have to circumvent two security systems in order to escape, the probability of detection is very high.

The Botswanian government is currently planning further installations with the company’s intelligent video appliances at four other prisons.
