The Problem

Why Exam Invigilation Has Blind Spots.

One invigilator cannot watch everyone

In a hall of 100+ students, a single invigilator covers only a small section at any moment — leaving rows unmonitored for extended periods.

Mobile phones are hard to spot

Phones concealed under desks or in pockets are not visible from the invigilator's position — particularly in large halls with fixed row seating.

Student communication is subtle

Passing notes, eye contact signals and whispered exchanges are difficult for invigilators to detect in a busy hall without a direct line of sight.

No timestamped record of events

Without video evidence of a specific time and location, misconduct allegations are difficult to investigate and often come down to one person's account against another.

Unauthorized entry goes undetected

When invigilators are focused on the hall floor, unauthorized entry through side or back doors during the exam period is easily missed.

Appeals and regulatory reviews need evidence

Examination boards and awarding bodies require documented evidence when misconduct is alleged — which manual invigilation alone cannot provide.

What FlowLinks Monitors

Real-time exam hall surveillance supporting invigilators.

Unusual Movement Detection

Flag students turning, leaning or engaging in movement patterns inconsistent with normal exam behaviour — alerting the invigilator to investigate.

Mobile Phone Visibility

Detect mobile phone objects visible within the camera field of view during the examination session.

Unauthorized Entry Alerts

Alert the invigilator or examinations officer when an unauthorized person enters the hall during the examination period.

Timestamped Event Clips

Every flagged event is stored with a timestamped video clip — providing evidence for misconduct investigations, appeals and regulatory reviews.

Multi-Hall Monitoring

Monitor every examination hall simultaneously from a single dashboard — the examinations office sees alerts from all rooms in real time.

Post-Exam Review Reports

A complete log of all flagged events per hall is available after each session — enabling the examinations officer to review incidents before results are processed.

How It Works

Five steps from camera to alert.

1

Connect existing exam hall cameras

FlowLinks integrates with existing CCTV cameras in examination halls via RTSP. No new hardware required in the hall.

2

Configure event rules for the examination

Define the detection rules — unusual movement zones, mobile phone detection, unauthorized entry points — and activate them for the session window.

3

AI monitors all students in real time

The system watches every camera simultaneously, flagging configured events with a timestamp, hall location and row reference as they occur.

4

Invigilator alerted instantly

When a flagged event occurs, the invigilator on the floor and the examinations office receive an instant alert with a video snapshot and location.

5

Full event log produced after each session

A timestamped record of every flagged event per hall is generated automatically after each session — ready for misconduct review or regulatory submission.
