1. An RF infrastructure sentry system comprising:
a processor;
one or more sensors configured to detect that an object has entered an area of concern proximate to an RF radiation source, wherein the one or more sensors includes a camera, and wherein the object is a human; and
an RF mitigation system operatively connected to the one or more sensors, the RF mitigation system comprising:
a communication interface operatively connected to the camera and configured to transmit images or video captured by the camera to a machine learning system configured to distinguish the human from other types of objects;
an electrical input operatively connected to a power supply for the RF radiation source;
an electrical output operatively connected to the RF radiation source; and
a relay disposed on an electrical path between the electrical input and the electrical output and configured to selectively connect or disconnect the electrical input and the electrical output through the electrical path; and
an RF monitoring system operatively connected to the RF mitigation system, the RF monitoring system configured to monitor a power density of RF radiation within the area of concern or an RF radiation exposure to the object within the area of concern for a predetermined amount of time,
wherein the RF mitigation system is configured, at least in response to the power density of the RF radiation within the area of concern or the RF radiation exposure to the object within the area of concern exceeding a predetermined threshold for the predetermined amount of time, to open the relay to automatically interrupt power to the RF radiation source.
