2 Project Overview
2.1 What Are We Building
2.1.1 System Function
A comprehensive AI-powered surveillance system providing unified, intelligent framework for real-time conservation monitoring, threat detection, and security response across the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. The system integrates AI-enabled cameras, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), acoustic sensors, and satellite data into a synchronized command network that transforms surveillance data into actionable intelligence, enabling NCAA to predict, prevent, and respond to security threats with precision.
2.1.2 Users
- Rangers & Field Officers: Real-time threat alerts, patrol coordination, rapid response deployment
- Security Managers: Command center operations, incident management, resource allocation
- Conservation Officers: Wildlife monitoring, habitat protection, anti-poaching operations
- Operations Managers: Strategic deployment planning, performance analytics
- Management & Executive: Security overview, incident reporting, strategic decision-making
- External Partners: TANAPA coordination, law enforcement integration (when authorized)
2.1.3 Problem Solved
Manual surveillance limited to patrol routes and observation posts, reactive response to poaching and illegal activities, no real-time threat detection, limited visibility across vast conservation area (8,292 km²), poor coordination between ranger teams, delayed incident reporting, inability to predict high-risk areas, resource deployment based on guesswork rather than intelligence, and fragmented data preventing pattern analysis for proactive security planning.
2.1.4 Key Success Metric
70% faster threat response through real-time detection and automated alerts, 100% 24/7 situational awareness across critical zones, 60% reduction in ranger safety risks through remote monitoring, predictive threat intelligence identifying high-risk areas 48 hours in advance, complete integration with BI System for pattern analysis, automated incident reporting replacing 90% of manual processes, and comprehensive audit trail for all security operations.
