Stop PPE Violations and Equipment Theft Before They Cost You.

Construction sites face a unique trifecta of risk: costly PPE non-compliance, relentless equipment theft after hours, and sprawling perimeters that are impossible to monitor manually. ImageDeep deploys on your existing cameras in 48 hours and watches every zone 24/7 — with verified alerts, not noise.

The Pain Points

!High-value plant, fuel, and copper are stolen after hours — often gone before anyone notices
!Rebar yards and material stockpiles sit unwatched across sprawling, hard-to-fence perimeters
!Unauthorised vehicles and contractor deliveries bypass gate controls with no verifiable record
!PPE non-compliance causes injuries, HSE notices, and costly project delays
!Guards walk a fraction of the site; the rest is a blind spot until morning

How ImageDeep Solves This

ImageDeep turns your existing site cameras into a 24/7 verified security layer — and adds HoundLight units where cameras can't reach. Fixed cameras cover gates, hoardings, and PPE zones; a HoundLight tripod unit stands static guard over rebar yards and material stockpiles that have no power or mounting point. Every detection is confirmed by a human operator before it reaches your site manager, so you act on real incidents, not motion noise. For logistics verification, SmartReg LPR captures and logs every vehicle plate entering and leaving the site — cross-checked against the approved delivery and permit list — giving you a tamper-proof chain-of-custody for materials, plant, and contractor access. Where part of the site has no mains power and no broadband — a remote gate, a materials laydown area, a hoarding line — ImageDeep's proprietary power-efficient hardware delivers the same verified lights, siren and live talk-down without trenching or a crane.

No trailer required

HoundLight replaces the CCTV trailer on sites like this. It is handheld, so one person mounts it in minutes on a pole, wall, scaffold, crane or temporary post — no towing, no level pad. Up to 400 units travel in a single transport, and it was engineered in-house from the IC chip for low power, with AI at its core.

HoundLight — guarding the rebar yard

A HoundLight unit deployed as a static guard over rebar stockpiles at a live construction site — one of Asia's largest contractors. Hazard-striped, tripod-mounted, and tied into the same monitoring pipeline as the fixed cameras.

Where there's no power, no mounting point, and no line-of-sight from a fixed camera, HoundLight stands watch — and feeds every detection into SmartReg-verified logistics records.

Dissuasion active

Lumières. Haut-parleur. Voix en direct.

ImageDeep utilise le projecteur, la sirène ou le strobe, le micro et le haut-parleur de la caméra elle-même. Dès qu'un événement est vérifié, les opérateurs éclairent la scène et parlent à la personne en temps réel. Compatible PTZ, caméras bullet et caméras hors réseau propriétaires à basse consommation avec audio bidirectionnel et éclairage dissuasif.

  • Avertissement vocal bidirectionnel en direct via la caméra
  • Lumières / projecteur / sirène déclenchés sur menace vérifiée
  • Vérification humaine en option avant toute interpellation
  • Fonctionne hors réseau en 4G + solaire
  • Aucun serveur sur site supplémentaire

Talk-down does not require the cloud

Voice at the fence. Evidence in the cloud.

Deterrence runs on the device. Verification, search and dispatch run on Scopis AI when the link is up.

Edge / on-device

Lights, siren, and live or local voice can run on the camera or HoundLight unit when connectivity is poor or down.

  • Spotlight, strobe and siren triggered on device
  • Live or local voice talk-down on the speaker
  • Runs with no mains and no broadband

Cloud / Scopis AI

Human verification, multi-site dashboard, search, reports and dispatch to keyholders — when the network is available.

  • Human verification of alerts (optional upgrade)
  • Multi-site dashboard, search and reports
  • Dispatch to keyholders and evidence packs

Voice at the fence does not wait for a data centre. Operators and evidence use the network when it is available.

Dissuasion hors réseau

Pas d'électricité. Pas de haut débit. Toujours surveillé — et interpelé.

ImageDeep's proprietary power-efficient hardware Le matériel propriétaire à basse consommation d'ImageDeep maintient une timeline en basse consommation 24/7, puis bascule en pleine résolution dès qu'une personne ou un véhicule est détecté — aucun angle mort PIR. Associé à ImageDeep Scopis AI, une ferme isolée, un chantier, une cour, une résidence secondaire ou un site solaire reçoit le même avertissement vérifié qu'un site câblé.

AI Security Guard

A guard service, not a gadget. Lights, sirens and a live human voice through your cameras.

ImageDeep's AI Security Guard watches your cameras, a human verifies in seconds, then lights, sirens and a live operator speak through the camera speaker — on your existing ONVIF cameras or off-grid ImageDeep power-efficient hardware with no mains and no broadband. You buy a Guard service: detect, verify, deter, log and dispatch. Off-grid construction and rural sites — in the UK, Ireland and beyond — get the same talk-down as a wired estate.

Why this matters

The real challenge for construction

A typical construction site is not a fixed building. It changes shape every week. New zones open, old ones close, materials move, and the workforce turns over constantly. Traditional CCTV and manned guarding struggle to keep up. Guards cannot be everywhere at once, and pure AI systems generate so many false alerts that real threats get ignored.

ImageDeep was built for this environment. We connect to the cameras you already have, apply edge AI trained specifically on construction behaviour, and then put a trained human operator on every alert before it reaches you. The result is simple: you only get notified when something is actually wrong.

Compliance & Regulatory Context

Construction sites must comply with HSE regulations under the Health and Safety at Work Act, including OSHA PPE standards requiring documented enforcement of personal protective equipment. ImageDeep generates automatic audit-ready incident logs that satisfy HSE inspection requirements and site welfare reporting obligations. All footage is retained under GDPR-compliant data handling policies, with configurable retention periods to meet contract and legal requirements.
