# DARA

> High-precision AI for critical environments. DARA connects video, thermal imaging and sensors with task‑specific detection, in one platform for command and control.

DARA (dara.tech, legal name DARA Tech) makes AI video analytics and command and control software for security teams at critical sites:
data centers, energy and critical infrastructure, government, prisons, and large enterprises and construction.

Key facts:
- Detection modules for intrusion, drones, weapons, PPE, falls, fire and smoke, vehicles and license plates, people and object search, asset and people tracking, animals and birds, and custom objects.
- Works with existing compatible video and thermal cameras, and with radar, RF and other sensors on one map. DARA can also supply a complete system with cameras, thermal, sensors and compute.
- Selected leading models, fine-tuned to your detection requirements.
- Local AI processing and configurable face blurring support your data protection requirements.
- Detection performance and false alarms tested under your site's operating conditions before deployment.
- DARA detects and reports. Any response follows the operator's approved procedures and applicable law.

## Detection modules

- [Intrusion detection](https://dara.tech/modules/intrusion-detection): AI intrusion detection for perimeters and restricted zones. Works with existing video and thermal cameras, with every event reviewed in one platform.
- [Drone detection](https://dara.tech/modules/drone-detection): AI drone detection for data centers, critical infrastructure and prisons. Combines visual and thermal cameras with compatible radar and RF inputs.
- [Weapon detection](https://dara.tech/modules/weapon-detection): AI weapon detection for visible handguns, rifles and knives in camera views, with alerts to the control room. For prisons, government sites and critical infrastructure.
- [PPE detection](https://dara.tech/modules/ppe-detection): AI PPE detection for construction and industrial sites. Checks visible helmets and high-visibility vests per area and camera view.
- [Fall detection](https://dara.tech/modules/fall-detection): AI fall detection for falls and people lying down in working areas, prisons and large sites, with alerts to the control room.
- [Fire and smoke detection](https://dara.tech/modules/fire-and-smoke-detection): AI fire and smoke detection with video and thermal cameras: visible smoke and flames, and hot spots on equipment before they ignite.
- [Asset and people tracking](https://dara.tech/modules/asset-and-people-tracking): Live location of equipment, vehicles and people across large sites with tracking tags and GNSS, on the same map as every DARA alert.
- [People and object search](https://dara.tech/modules/people-and-object-search): Search recorded and live video for people and objects by visible attributes such as clothing color and carried items. Not facial identification.
- [Vehicle and plate recognition](https://dara.tech/modules/vehicle-and-plate-recognition): AI license plate recognition and vehicle classification for gates, loading areas and site access at data centers and industrial sites.
- [Animal and bird detection](https://dara.tech/modules/animal-and-bird-detection): AI animal and bird detection for energy sites, solar parks and infrastructure, with optional connection to approved deterrence systems.
- [Custom detection](https://dara.tech/modules/custom-detection): Custom AI detection for objects, conditions and workflows specific to your operation. Selected leading models, fine-tuned to your detection requirements.

## Sectors

- [Data centers](https://dara.tech/sectors/data-centers): AI security for data centers: perimeter breaches, unknown vehicles, drones and rack access, processed on servers within your network.
- [Energy and critical infrastructure](https://dara.tech/sectors/critical-infrastructure): AI security for energy and critical infrastructure: copper theft, intrusions, drones and lone-worker falls at remote and unmanned sites.
- [Prisons and correctional facilities](https://dara.tech/sectors/prisons): AI detection for prisons and correctional facilities: contraband drones, escape attempts, visible weapons, self-harm and medical emergencies.
- [Government and public sector](https://dara.tech/sectors/government): On-premises AI detection for government and public sector sites: visible weapons, drones, watch-list vehicles and restricted areas.
- [Large enterprises and construction](https://dara.tech/sectors/enterprise): AI security and safety for large enterprises and construction sites: after-hours theft, PPE, falls and people in vehicle zones.

## Frequently asked questions

**What is DARA?** DARA is AI video analytics and command and control for critical sites. It connects video, thermal imaging and sensors with task-specific detection, in one platform.

**What can DARA detect?** Intrusions, drones, weapons, missing PPE, falls, fire and smoke, vehicles and license plates, animals and birds, and objects you define. You can also search video for people and objects, and track assets and people across your site.

**Does DARA work with our existing cameras?** Yes, where the cameras are compatible and positioned for the areas you need to cover. We assess this during the requirement review, or supply a complete system with cameras, thermal, sensors and compute.

**Does it work at night?** Yes. Thermal cameras detect heat rather than visible light, so they cover areas without lighting. Performance is tested under your site's conditions before deployment.

**Where is our video processed?** On servers within your network, on site or in your own data center. Offline operation is available where the deployment requires it, and face blurring can be configured for your data protection requirements.

**How accurate is DARA?** We use selected leading models, fine-tuned to your detection requirements. Detection performance and false alarms are tested under your site's operating conditions before deployment.

**Which sectors does DARA serve?** Data centers, energy and critical infrastructure, government and the public sector, prisons and correctional facilities, and large enterprises and construction.

**How does a deployment start?** With a short call about your requirement. We review your site, survey it and recommend a system for your approval, then install it and test it on site before go-live.
