Early fire detection begins with thermal cameras configured to do more than “see” heat—they must measure it, with temperature thresholds set in line with NFPA 855 expectations so that abnormal rises are flagged before they become incidents. When a heat anomaly appears near battery containers or inverter pads, Nexus can escalate the alert automatically, ensuring the right teams are notified at the right priority. At the same time, a visible PTZ can be cued to capture contextual snapshots, while the system logs the event and supporting evidence to create a defensible compliance record without adding manual steps.

Perimeter security follows the same principle of layered certainty. Radar provides wide-area vigilance along approach roads and fence lines, while thermal verification confirms targets regardless of darkness or weather. Nexus then enforces after-hours logic with precision—movement within a restricted polygon can trigger thermal confirmation, generate a high-priority incident, and activate an audible deterrent—so responses are governed by rules, not guesswork. Crucially, this operational discipline carries through to audit readiness: Nexus maintains event histories and device health records, and produces exportable reports that demonstrate adherence to monitoring requirements and incident response protocols in a form regulators—and internal stakeholders—can trust.
