🇸🇪 Flasheye pioneers new 3D surveillance technology at Öjebyn Forensic Psychiatry

Flasheye is at the forefront of a groundbreaking project currently being tested at the Öjebyn Forensic Psychiatry facility. This project explores the potential of 3D LiDAR technology, a cutting-edge sensor-based system that reacts to movement and anomalies, as an innovative complement to traditional camera surveillance.

The Öjebyn team, first encountered LiDAR technology at a trade fair last year. Intrigued by its capabilities, they initiated a collaboration with Flasheye, a Luleå-based company that won an award in their category at the fair. This partnership led to the current pilot project at Öjebyn.

At the heart of this initiative is Flasheye’s 3D sensing technology, which was initially developed for industrial applications but is now making significant inroads into the security sector. The technology operates by capturing the entire environment in 3D, similar to how distance-measuring tools work, but at a far more advanced level. Millions of measurements are taken every second, with Flasheye’s software interpreting the data to monitor the surroundings in real-time.

We see this as a major enhancement to our existing camera surveillance system

Ronny Stenberg, head of Security.

A small section of the facility’s outdoor area is currently under LiDAR surveillance, and if the pilot proves successful, the plan is to extend coverage to create a digital dome over the entire facility. This would protect against potential threats such as drones, thrown objects, or unauthorized individuals approaching the premises.

Flasheye’s technology offers several advantages over traditional cameras. LiDAR is less affected by weather and lighting conditions, and it focuses on detecting movement rather than capturing identities, making it a more privacy-conscious option. The system works by identifying potential issues and then directing cameras to focus on specific areas, allowing security operators to respond more effectively.

This collaboration is invaluable, not only does it allow us to refine our technology through real-world testing, but it also provides Öjebyn with an opportunity to fill gaps in their surveillance system in a more cost-effective manner.

Ida Rehnström, Deputy CEO at Flasheye.

As the project progresses, it is attracting attention from the Swedish Prison and Probation Service and other regions, underscoring the growing demand for advanced, integrated surveillance solutions in critical environments.

For Flasheye, the success of this project represents a significant step forward in bringing advanced 3D monitoring technology to broader applications within the security industry.
