The Challenge
Campus Security Was Never Designed for This Scale
Multi-building campuses generate thousands of door alarms, badge events, and after-hours alerts every month — far more than any guard team can triage manually.
Dozens of Doors, Thousands of Alarms
Badge-controlled doors across multiple buildings generate massive volumes of DFO and DHO alarms. Most are nuisance events — but every one needs to be triaged.
Tailgating at Every Badge Reader
High-traffic lobbies and building entries see hundreds of badge-ins per hour. Tailgating is one of the most persistent and hardest-to-catch security risks at any campus.
After-Hours Across Multiple Buildings
When the workforce goes home, buildings, R&D wings, executive floors, and parking garages all need monitoring — often with limited or no guard presence on site.
Parking Structures No One Watches
Multi-level garages with stairwell doors, elevator vestibules, and open vehicle lanes are among the most under-monitored zones on any campus — and a frequent source of safety incidents.
The Solution
How Cobalt Monitoring Intelligence Solves It
AI Alarm Triage Across Every Building
Dedicated Handlers for DFO, DHO, and tailgating events process alarms building-by-building — correlating badge data, camera feeds, and door state to auto-resolve nuisance events and escalate genuine threats.
Lobby & Entry Threat Detection
The Gun Detection Handler monitors main entrances with human-in-the-loop verification. If a weapon is confirmed, the platform triggers PACS lockdown across the campus — closing badge-controlled doors in seconds.
After-Hours Campus Monitoring
Person detection Handlers activate across buildings, parking structures, and outdoor spaces after business hours. Unauthorized presence is flagged, verified, and escalated — even when no guards are on site.
Centralized Visibility Across the Entire Campus
The Investigator gives security teams a single, searchable view of every event across every building, garage, and perimeter zone — with filters by site, door, camera, status, and root cause.
How It Works
See a Handler in Action
Every campus event follows the same four-step workflow. Here is how Cobalt Monitoring Intelligence handles a tailgating event at a main lobby entrance.
Tailgating at Main Lobby, North Tower
Camera Lobby-NT-Cam detects a second person entering the badge-controlled turnstile immediately behind an authorized badge holder at 8:47 AM.
Handler Correlates Badge & Video
The Handler cross-references the badge-in record with video analysis. One badge event, two persons detected. Second individual has no corresponding badge credential.
Alert Dispatched to Lobby Security
A real-time alert with video clip and bounding boxes is sent to the on-site security desk. Event is tagged with timestamp, door ID, and confidence score.
Escalated — Security Responds
The security operator intercepts the individual at the lobby. Event is logged with full audit trail, video evidence, and resolution notes in the Investigator.
By Campus Zone
AI-Powered Monitoring Across Every Zone
From main lobbies to parking garages, every zone on your campus gets dedicated AI Handlers that detect, reason, act, and resolve — automatically.
Your Highest-Traffic, Highest-Risk Entry Points
Main lobbies and building entrances are where tailgating, forced entry, and active threat events converge. These high-traffic zones generate hundreds of badge events per hour during peak periods and need continuous AI-powered monitoring.
Cobalt Monitoring Intelligence deploys Tailgating Detection at badge-controlled turnstiles and doors, the Gun Detection Handler at primary entry points with human-in-the-loop verification before any PACS lockdown action, and DFO Handlers to distinguish faulty request-to-exit devices from genuine forced entry — all in seconds.
Protecting R&D Labs, Executive Floors, and Server Rooms
Interior doors across multi-building campuses generate the highest volume of DHO and DFO alarms. Conference rooms left open, server closet doors propped during maintenance, emergency exits held for deliveries — each event needs to be classified and resolved.
The DHO Handler identifies root causes (maintenance, employee convenience, device malfunction) and auto-resolves confirmed nuisance events. After-hours person detection Handlers flag unauthorized presence in executive wings, R&D labs, and restricted corridors — with full video verification before escalation.
The Campus Zone Most Likely to Be Under-Monitored
Multi-level parking garages have stairwell doors, elevator vestibules, vehicle entry lanes, and open pedestrian areas — all spread across multiple floors. Traditional security relies on periodic guard patrols that cannot cover every level consistently.
Cobalt Monitoring Intelligence runs after-hours person and vehicle detection across parking levels, DFO monitoring at stairwell doors and elevator vestibules, and Person On Ground detection in high-risk stairwells. Every event is processed by a dedicated Handler that determines whether the detection requires escalation or can be safely auto-resolved.
Walkways, Courtyards, Gates, and Emergency Exits
The campus perimeter includes outdoor walkways between buildings, courtyards, landscaped grounds, campus gates, and building emergency exits. These areas are hardest to monitor with traditional security because of their physical spread and limited camera coverage.
Cobalt Monitoring Intelligence provides after-hours perimeter monitoring across campus grounds, DFO detection at gates and emergency exits, and person detection on walkways and between buildings. All events feed into a centralized Investigator with campus-wide access control integration — giving security teams a single audit trail across every outdoor zone.
Deployment
Edge, Cloud, or Hybrid — Your Campus, Your Architecture
Edge
On-prem edge processors in each building keep video processing local — ideal for R&D wings, executive floors, and server rooms where data residency matters.
Hybrid
Edge processors for sensitive zones and cloud processing for centralized Investigator and dashboard access across the entire campus — the best of both architectures.
Cloud
Fully cloud-managed deployment for campuses that prioritize speed-to-value and centralized operations — no on-prem hardware required at any building.
Integrations
Works With Your Existing Security Stack
Corporate campuses have the most diverse installed base of access control, video management, and facility systems. Cobalt Monitoring Intelligence integrates with all of them — no rip-and-replace required.
Campus-Wide Visibility
Every Event, Every Building — Searchable & Auditable
The Investigator gives your security team a single searchable view of every event across every campus building, parking structure, and outdoor zone. Filter by site, door, camera, time, status, and root cause.
