1. Purpose

This playbook lets a security organisation run a low-risk, time-boxed pilot of Patrol Sight at one site, and lets both sides judge success against numbers agreed in advance. It is deliberately small: one site, one shift pattern, a handful of glasses, six weeks. It is two weeks longer than a commercial-product pilot for a reason — a security deployment needs a legal and information-security gate before any real watchlist is loaded.

2. What the pilot proves

  1. An officer on foot receives a correct, categorised identification in their lens fast enough to act on during the encounter — measured, in the customer's own building, on the customer's own wireless network.
  2. The customer's watchlist team can enrol, categorise and activate people themselves, and see the change reach the fleet within seconds.
  3. The system runs entirely inside the customer's network, with zero biometric egress verifiable by their own network audit.
  4. The audit trail and governance controls satisfy the customer's data-protection function.
  5. Accuracy in real operating conditions — including the false-positive rate, which we measure and report rather than avoid.

3. Scope

In scope Out of scope (pilot)
1 site, defined patrol area Multi-site or city-wide rollout
5–10 glasses units Large fleet logistics
A test watchlist first, then a limited live watchlist after the legal gate Full operational watchlist
On-prem GPU server (loaned) Permanent server procurement
Control-console monitoring + alert stream Integration with the customer's command-and-control (scoped separately)
Accuracy, latency and false-positive measurement Third-party/national watchlist connectors
DPIA support and audit-log review Enforcement policy and legal authority (customer's own)

4. Hardware & environment checklist

  • [ ] AR glasses: 5–10 × RayNeo X3 Pro class (HumanityAI'd supplies for the pilot)
  • [ ] AI server: 1 × GPU server. Minimum 8 GB GPU (the measured reference is an RTX 4060 Ti); 16–24 GB recommended for fleet headroom. 32 GB RAM, 8+ cores, 512 GB SSD, NVIDIA driver 550+
  • [ ] Wireless: dedicated 5 GHz SSID across the patrol area with power-save disabled, ≥ 2 access points, wired uplink to the server, server on a static LAN IP. Budget ~20 Mbps per streaming device. (The reference glasses are 5 GHz only — no 6 GHz.)
  • [ ] Network isolation: glasses VLAN isolated with no internet uplink — a security control for the pilot, not a preference
  • [ ] Charging / provisioning: charging station and a USB provisioning point at the equipment desk
  • [ ] Console access: operator workstations on the staff VLAN
  • [ ] Power & rack space for the server in the comms room

5. Timeline

Week Activities Owner
0 — Prep & governance Kick-off; success metrics signed; patrol area and shift pattern chosen; RF site survey; server delivered and installed; information-security review and DPIA started; watchlist categories and colour scheme agreed Both
1 — Stand-up on test data Deploy stack; provision glasses; enrol a consented test cohort (volunteer staff); tune detection and recognition thresholds against measured false-detection rates; verify zero egress by network audit HumanityAI'd + customer IT
2 — Legal gate & live watchlist Information-security sign-off; DPIA conclusions applied (retention, access, audit); load a limited live watchlist with documented lawful basis per entry; operator console training Customer legal/security + HumanityAI'd
3 — Officer induction & shadow running 1-hour officer induction; glasses worn on shift with alerts to the control room only (no officer action) to establish the baseline false-positive rate; comfort feedback Both
4–5 — Live operation Officers act on verified matches per the customer's own procedure; daily alert review; weekly accuracy and false-positive report; threshold refinement Customer operations
6 — Evaluate Measure against the agreed KPIs; officer and operator survey; audit-log review with the data-protection function; readout workshop; go/no-go and rollout proposal Both

6. Enrolment procedure (per person, ~2 minutes)

  1. Obtain and record the lawful basis for the entry (this step is the customer's, and it comes first).
  2. In the console, create the person record with name, reference number and provenance.
  3. Upload one or more face images — multiple angles improve off-pose performance.
  4. Assign the category and alert colour (e.g. wanted, banned, missing person, VIP, staff).
  5. The index rebuilds and hot-reloads into the live engine — no restart, no retraining. The entry is active on every deployed device within seconds.

Reference point: bulk enrolment runs at 40–60 images per second — about 15–25 seconds for 1,000 images.

7. Success metrics (agree & sign at kick-off)

KPI Target How measured
Glasses-to-label latency ≤ 150 ms p95 System metrics (reference: ~68 ms typical)
Effective recognition rate per device ≥ 12 fps System metrics (reference: 14–20 fps)
True-positive rate on the enrolled cohort at ≤ 5 m ≥ 95% Structured walk-through test, repeated per lighting condition
False-positive rate per officer-hour Agreed ceiling, measured and reported Shadow-running week + ongoing alert review
Recognition at range Reliable ≤ 5 m; 6–7 m in good light Marked-distance test — we publish this envelope rather than overclaim
Watchlist entry to live on fleet ≤ 2 min, unaided Timed during Week 2
Biometric data egress Zero Customer's own network audit
Audit completeness 100% of searches and matches attributable Audit-log export reviewed by data-protection function
Officer comfort over a full shift ≥ 4/5 Officer survey
Unattended recovery after reboot Full stack live without intervention Deliberate reboot test

8. Roles

  • Customer: patrol area and shift selection, wireless network and power, information-security review and DPIA, lawful basis and watchlist content, officer and operator staffing, enforcement procedure.
  • HumanityAI'd: server and glasses for the pilot, installation, threshold calibration, training, measurement and reporting, evaluation readout.

9. Risks & mitigations

Risk Mitigation
Wireless quality dominates latency RF survey in Week 0; dedicated 5 GHz SSID, power-save disabled; add APs where the survey shows gaps
Legal/DPIA review delays the live watchlist Weeks 0–2 run on a consented test cohort so technical validation is never blocked by the legal gate
False positives erode officer trust A full shadow-running week before any officer action; measured ceiling; per-site threshold tuning; category-colour display so officers treat labels as prompts, not verdicts
Officer discomfort or fatigue Comfort survey; rotation; spare units; category-only display mode
Glasses-transport encryption not yet shipped Isolated glasses VLAN with no uplink as a hard control for the pilot
Model-licensing item unresolved Pilot proceeds under an evaluation arrangement; resolution is a precondition of the production licence and is stated in the agreement
Concurrent-device capacity unknown Pilot fleet is deliberately small; we measure the ceiling here and contract on the measured figure

10. Exit & conversion

At the Week-6 readout: the KPI scorecard including the measured false-positive rate, the officer and operator survey, the audit-log review, and a rollout proposal (site-by-site plan, fleet sizing, GPU sizing against the measured device ceiling, licence and support quote). Watchlist content, thresholds and audit history carry forward into production — no rework.
