What is IRIS?

IRIS is an AI change detection platform developed by NHAZCA. It processes images and video streams from existing cameras, webcams, drones and remote archives to detect landslides, rockfalls, slope deformation and surface changes in near real time.

For geotechnical engineers, infrastructure owners and safety teams, IRIS enables landslide monitoring, rockfall monitoring, and slope surveillance with existing infrastructure. Deploy early warning before changes become hazards.

Choose How You Deploy IRIS

Bring your own cameras, stream remote imagery, or let our field team deliver a turnkey installation.

Bring Your Cameras

Connect existing webcams or IP cameras in minutes. Works with any resolution—keep your current infrastructure.

Stream Remote Imagery

Point IRIS to cloud storage, aerial surveys, or archives. Process high-resolution imagery with batch and historical comparisons.

Full-Service Installation

NHAZCA engineers install and maintain dedicated camera systems with turnkey networking, power, and ongoing monitoring.

How IRIS AI Change Detection Works

Connect

Analyze

AI aligns imagery and balances lighting automatically. Every new image is measured against calibrated baselines.

Validate

Multi-interval confidence checks filter noise and surface true changes. Optional human review for critical alerts.

Alert

Get notified via dashboard, email, or API. Evidence packages ready for immediate verification and reporting.

AI Change Detection Capabilities for Geotechnical Monitoring

The same platform powers landslide monitoring, rockfall detection, slope surveillance, and early warning, without extra engineering.

Real-Time Awareness

Get notified minutes after imagery lands. Monitor multiple assets without added staff, with both batch and realtime workflows included.

Visual Evidence Packages

Interactive before/after viewer with downloadable proof for reports. Maps directly to exact areas of concern.

Complete History & Audits

Full time-series retention with trend reporting for engineers and executives. Searchable audit trail for every event.

Multi-Interval Confidence

Short and long baseline comparisons with confidence scoring that reduces false positives. Automatic escalation for critical findings.

Precision Alignment

Stabilizes every frame for fair comparison. Balances lighting and color automatically, highlighting subtle motion engineers care about.

Managed Operations

Custom regions and schedules per site. Health checks, auto-resume logic, and team notifications via email or API.

Where Teams Deploy IRIS for Geotechnical Monitoring

Built for landslide monitoring, rockfall detection, and slope surveillance, yet flexible enough for any geotechnical monitoring use case.

Geohazards & Slopes

Early warning for landslides, rockfalls, and slope instability.

Rockfall detection

Spot rocks and debris accumulating on slopes before they mobilize.

Slope deformation

Track progressive movements on hillsides and cut slopes over time.

Dam & structure cracks

Detect new cracks or propagation on concrete faces and spillways.

Coastal cliff retreat

Measure shoreline erosion and cliff recession between surveys.

Debris flows & avalanches

Monitor channels and chutes for sudden debris or snow movements.

Infrastructure & Operations

Monitor transportation corridors and critical assets.

Railway rockfall & track obstructions

Detect rocks, debris, or objects on tracks before trains approach.

Highway rockfall zones

Monitor mountain roads and tunnel approaches for fallen debris.

Tunnel portals

Watch portal faces and approach cuts for rockfall and instability.

Mining pit walls

Monitor open pit benches and highwalls for slope failures.

Construction excavations

Track temporary slopes and excavation faces during works.

...and if you need new cameras, our field engineers handle surveys, installation, and maintenance.

Trusted by infrastructure leaders

Teams around the world rely on NHAZCA for critical ground deformation and change detection monitoring.

IRIS AI Change Detection – FAQ

Quick answers about cameras, deployment, AI change detection and how IRIS fits into your geotechnical monitoring and early warning workflows.

IRIS ingests RTSP, HLS, MJPEG, HTTP snapshots, webcams, time-lapse DSLRs, and secure SFTP/HTTPS archives. It handles high-resolution surveys without special hardware changes, enabling flexible camera-based landslide monitoring, rockfall detection, and slope surveillance with existing infrastructure.

Most teams connect existing cameras or archives in minutes. When you need field hardware, NHAZCA can survey, install, and calibrate turnkey systems, ensuring that geotechnical monitoring and early warning is fully integrated into your slope surveillance strategy.

IRIS aligns every frame, normalizes lighting, and uses multi-interval comparisons with confidence scoring to surface true change events instead of noise.

Alerts carry before/after imagery, highlighted change maps, and evidence packages that can feed dashboards, exports, and downstream notification systems for geotechnical monitoring and early warning workflows.

Yes. You can point IRIS to stored imagery on secure SFTP/HTTPS locations and run batch comparisons to build the same change maps used in realtime monitoring. This helps extract value from years of data and provides a consistent view of change over time.

Traditional instruments (inclinometers, extensometers) measure point deformation. IRIS provides continuous visual coverage of entire slopes, detecting rockfalls, surface changes, and precursor movements that point sensors might miss. It complements—rather than replaces—existing geotechnical instrumentation.
