AI-Powered Real-Time Detection and Deterrence

AI Tower Protection System – Early Detection & Anti-Climb Deterrence (DeterCam)

Solution Overview

Albaraah presents AI Camera – DeterCam, an intelligent system specifically designed to protect telecom towers and elevated critical sites from unauthorized climbing and tampering.
The solution leverages Edge AI to process data directly on the device, ensuring instant response, accurate verification, and full reliability in remote and unmanned locations.

The system moves beyond traditional monitoring to prevent tower climbing and trigger immediate response before access is gained, protecting personnel, equipment, and network uptime while reducing vandalism and service disruption.

Challenges Addressed

• Telecom towers exposed to unauthorized climbing for theft or sabotage.
• Difficulty monitoring tall structures and remote sites continuously.
• Traditional surveillance systems rely on recording without active deterrence.
• High false-alarm rates due to weather, animals, or environmental movement.
• High operational costs from unnecessary field verification visits.
• Safety risks to technicians when unauthorized individuals access towers.

Goal: Early detection + rapid verification + active deterrence against tower climbing before damage occurs.

How the Solution Works

The system operates through a smart detection and response chain:

• Immediate detection of climbing attempts on towers, fences, or cabinets.
• Accurate classification of the event (intruder, authorized technician, animal, environmental motion).
• Automatic verification with location and climb-height context.
• Smart deterrence activation (audio alarms, warning lights, voice alerts).
• Instant alert transmission to the control room or security teams with images and location data.

Key Benefits

• High-accuracy detection of tower-climbing attempts.
• Ultra-fast response time (up to 0.3 seconds).
• Significant reduction in false alarms.
• Full on-device processing with no cloud dependency.
• Battery-powered with solar support.
• Fast, cable-free deployment.
• Ideal for remote and unmanned sites.
• Connectivity support in low-network environments.

Use Cases

• Cellular telecom towers.
• Elevated infrastructure sites.
• Surveillance and energy towers.
• Railway and transport corridors.
• Solar and wind farms.
• Military or high-security sites.

Operational Value

• Prevents climbing attempts before access to equipment.
• Reduces battery and cable theft.
• Minimizes outages and service disruptions.
• Lowers field patrol and maintenance costs.
• Improves technician safety.
• Standardizes protection across large tower networks.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

• Reduction in successful climbing incidents.
• Lower false-alarm rates.
• Faster verification and response times.
• Fewer unnecessary site visits.
• Improved site uptime and network stability.
