With the development of networked prison systems, challenges such as information sharing, multi-level management, and remote monitoring have become pressing issues for prison management departments. As artificial intelligence continues to rise, intelligent speech recognition technology is being applied to integrate audio monitoring into prison security and prevention systems, utilizing advanced sound capturing devices.
Solution Overview — Architecture
The prison audio monitoring system encompasses various locations, including cells, interrogation rooms (local and remote), counseling rooms, psychological counseling rooms, lawyer meeting rooms, family meeting rooms (strict and lenient), perimeters, armed police posts, confinement rooms, duty rooms, AB gates, exercise yards, workshops, cafeterias, hospitals, artificial service windows, and command centers. This system aims to rapidly enhance the security monitoring and management capabilities of the judicial industry, establishing complete audio coverage throughout the prison with intelligent warning capabilities.
Point Design
1.Command Center:
Implement backend management software in the command center to monitor the status, fault alerts, software upgrades, and relevant performance parameters of connected audio capturing devices, facilitating real-time awareness of their operational status.
2.Cells/Confinement Rooms/Waiting Rooms:
Deploy multiple audio capturing devices in areas such as cells, confinement rooms, prison hospitals, and indoor public spaces to ensure comprehensive, 24/7 audio monitoring with no blind spots. Install these devices on side walls and ceilings with features such as anti-tampering, high concealment, and resistance to reverberation.
3.Interrogation Rooms/Counseling Rooms/Meeting Rooms:
For close-range desktop environments like interrogation rooms, counseling rooms, and meeting rooms, recommend deploying desktop audio capturing devices to effectively capture audio sources from both sides, blocking interference from other sources for clearer sound. Additionally, deploy an environmental audio capturing device to capture sound throughout the entire room. Ensure synchronization with cameras for recording during interrogations, discussions, or meetings, ensuring the fairness of recorded audio and video backups.
4.Perimeters/Armed Police Posts/AB Gates/Exercise Yards:
Outdoor areas are characterized by high environmental noise, large gatherings of people, day-night temperature variations, and harsh conditions. Deploy gunshot-type audio capturing devices for sound monitoring in outdoor perimeter areas. This deployment strategy reduces maintenance costs and enhances operational efficiency, effectively preventing unforeseen events and ensuring proactive, effective control and standardized post-event processing.
5.Cells/Workshops/Study Rooms:
Suggest deploying AI-powered intelligent network audio capturing devices in critical areas like cells, workshops, and study rooms. These devices filter out environmental noise interference and suppress power frequency interference, enhancing the monitoring of effective sound from both people and the environment. In the event of abnormal sounds, insults, or screams, AI intelligent audio capturing devices precisely pick up keywords and upload alarm information to the platform, promptly alerting on-duty personnel to handle the situation, avoiding escalation and effectively controlling conflicts. The platform supports silent monitoring and intelligent alarms, enabling focused control in specific cell blocks and serving as a crucial auxiliary tool for internal investigations.
6.Registration Room:
Recommend deploying surface-mounted audio capturing devices in registration rooms at window positions, allowing maximum proximity to sound sources.
