Preserving heritagewith AI technology

AI camera & drone solution for a heritage site in Vietnam

A proposed AI camera and drone patrol system to help protect the heritage site with 24/7 monitoring, intrusion detection and early alerts, supporting the long-term preservation of the site.

Heritage site area
~433 ha
Proposed AI-enabled IP cameras
~200 cameras
Reference rollout timeline (subject to survey and approval)
12 weeks

Challenges

  • A large site (~433 ha) with many open areas.
  • Risk of intrusion, illegal digging and unauthorized activity.
  • Hard to monitor remote areas and complex terrain continuously.
  • Preservation must go hand in hand with sustainable tourism.

Proposed solution

  • About 200 AI-enabled IP cameras with NVIDIA Jetson Edge AI processing.
  • A central VMS for 24/7 centralized monitoring.
  • Automated drone patrols with DJI Dock 2 / Matrice 3TD.
  • AI-based early intrusion alerts and anomaly detection.

Expected outcomes

  • Stronger 24/7 protection and monitoring of the site.
  • Earlier detection of intrusion risks, reducing incidents.
  • More efficient use of management and operations resources.
  • Supporting the long-term preservation of the heritage site.

This is a proposal, not a confirmed deployment outcome. Site area, camera count and timeline must be confirmed after a site survey, approval and quotations.

Technology

AI cameras and drones for complete coverage

Fixed AI cameras at key locations and automated drone patrols, combined with a smart VMS platform, enable continuous monitoring, early intrusion detection, timely alerts and better support for heritage preservation.

Looking ahead

Preserving heritage with modern technology

AI and drones do more than strengthen site protection — they help safeguard the historical and cultural value of the site for future generations and lay the groundwork for sustainable tourism.

Modern technology will be an important tool to preserve and promote the heritage value of the site, helping showcase the region and drive tourism built on sustainable preservation.
