Construction site AI CCTV camera Leeds

What is AI CCTV? 

‍

An AI CCTV camera is more than a recording device, instead, using artificial intelligence, machine learning and intelligent video analytics, the system can analyse activity in real time.

What can this detect?

For construction sites in Leeds, AI CCTV can detect breaches such as:

• Unauthorised people in restricted areas
• Identifying movement outside permitted working hour
• Unusual activity involving people or vehicles

‍

Our AI CCTV systems are capable of generating alerts for our in house monitoring operators to review. This means your security team does not have to rely solely on continuously watching multiple CCTV feeds and identifying every potential incident manually.

AI cameras for construction are sought after for use on larger development, since maintaining visibility across the whole site can be incredibly challenging.

Thus, by combining intelligent detection with human monitoring, construction AI CCTV can help Leeds contractors respond fast and importantly, more efficiently.

‍

The difference between AI CCTV and PPE AI CCTV

‍

It is important to differentiate AI CCTV and AI PPE CCTV, as these are two separate applications of artificial intelligence, designed to address different construction site requirements.

At VIS Systems, we offer construction site AI CCTV cameras in Leeds, which is primarily focused on security and site protection. 

This equipment can analyse activity to identify potential security threats, this includes  unauthorised access, perimeter breaches, suspicious movement, out-of-hours activity and other predefined security events.

On the other hand, AI PPE CCTV is designed specifically for workforce safety and PPE compliance. 

It can analyse video feeds to identify whether workers are wearing required equipment such as hard hats and high-visibility clothing - for more information on this service head over to our AI PPE service here.

This distinction is important when selecting an AI camera solution for a construction project, if your primary requirement is protecting the site, assets and equipment from security threats, you need a construction AI CCTV solution configured around those risks.

Rest assured however that the two technologies can  be used alongside one another, get in touch to find out how.

Why your site should use AI cameras for construction

‍

It is no secret that construction sites in Leeds present a number of security challenges, from large multiple access points to exposed valuable machinery and materials there needs to be reactive security in place to keep it protected.

You will benefit from AI cameras for construction if you need security not only during the build but outside normal working hours too. 

If someone enters a restricted area or moves around a site when it should be unoccupied, the system can identify the activity and alert monitoring operators.

For large scale Leeds developments, this is invaluable.

How construction AI CCTV works

‍

We don’t expect you to simply take our word for it, understanding how construction AI CCTV works can help you decide if that is what you need for your Leeds construction project.

The key features to know about construction site AI CCTV are…

Intelligent video analysis

An AI CCTV camera from us at VIS Systems uses video analytics to interpret activity within its field of view, that means that rather than treating every movement as an alarm, the system can be configured to recognise specific features such as people, vehicles, movement patterns and security events.

Real time breach alerts 

In short, whenever activity matches the predefined criteria for security breaches, the construction AI CCTV system can automatically generate an alert. 

Said alerts can then be reviewed by monitoring operators who determine whether further action is required.

Human first monitoring

While AI propels our technology, it does not replace professional human monitoring, which is what we have at VIS Systems. 

We use AI to help monitoring teams identify relevant events more efficiently, thus when

an alert is generated, operators can assess the footage, verify what is happening and take the appropriate next step whether it is action or a false alarm.

Versatile site coverage

Construction sites change throughout a project, buildings develop and access routes move. We understand that the CCTV on your site must be adaptable to do the same.

A properly planned AI CCTV installation can take these changes into account, with cameras positioned and adjusted to maintain coverage of all the areas you need.

What people are asking…

‍

“Can AI CCTV cover a large phased regeneration site in Leeds as the layout changes?”

‍

In short, yes, AI CCTV can absolutely be more than useful for large, phased construction and regeneration projects where the site layout is expected to change throughout the development.

A construction site is never going to look the same from the start of a project to completion, which is why it is necessary to have CCTV systems that can accommodate this. 

CCTV coverage needs to be considered as an ongoing part of the construction site’s security strategy rather than something that is installed once and left unchanged, that being said, for a large Leeds regeneration project, it is considered from the outset.

At VIS Systems, we assess the site layout and therefore apply CCTV to areas where security monitoring is most important, including entrances and a multitude of high-risk locations.

This adaptable CCTV coverage, along with AI detection and professional monitoring can offer a practical approach to maintaining security as the site progresses.

‍

“How does AI CCTV reduce false alarms on a Leeds construction site?”

‍

In short, AI CCTV stands out as a more effective way of security on site since it can reduce false alarms by analysing activity, rather than treating every movement detected by a camera as a potential security incident.

On a construction site, there can be a huge amount of normal movement, this could trigger threats but, in actuality workers arrive and leave, vehicles move around the site, machinery operates, which all cause movement within a camera’s view. 

So, construction AI CCTV can greatly reduce false alarms by using intelligent video analysis to assess what is happening as it happens, configured around specific security criteria.

When an event meets the relevant criteria and therefore avoids any false alarm, an alert is sent  to professional monitoring operators for verification. 

A team like our in-house remote monitoring team can then determine whether the activity represents a genuine security incident or normal site activity.

This process helps reduce the number of unnecessary alerts, allowing focus on incidents that require attention.

‍

“Who installs and monitors AI CCTV for construction projects in Leeds?”

‍

A trusted construction site security supplier is who can provide and install an AI CCTV system for your site, at VIS Systems we do just that.

For our clients working on a Leeds construction project, the process begins with understanding the site’s size, layout, access points, perimeter and specific security requirements. 

This helps us come to an understanding on where AI cameras should be positioned for the best coverage. Typically, placing in areas such as entrances, boundaries, equipment storage and other vulnerable locations.

While the installation is the first step to an effective AI CCTV solution, professional monitoring is the next. 

This is due to the fact that an AI system can identify and alert to predefined events, while trained monitoring operators can assess what is actually happening and determine the appropriate response.

Where a genuine security incident is identified, our remote operators can respond, and depending on the situation, this could include issuing a live audio warning, contacting a designated site representative or escalating the incident appropriately.
