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.

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 human-verified 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.

Active Deterrence

Lights. Speaker. Live voice.

ImageDeep uses the camera's own white light / spotlight, siren or strobe, microphone and speaker. When an event is verified, operators can illuminate the scene and speak to the person on site in real time. Works on compatible PTZ, bullet and ImageDeep's proprietary power-efficient off-grid cameras that include two-way audio and deterrent lighting.

  • Live two-way talk-down through the camera
  • Lights / spotlight / siren triggered on verified threat
  • Human verification before anyone is challenged
  • Works off-grid when the camera is 4G + solar
  • No new on-premise server required

Live talk-down

"You are on camera. Leave the site now. Gardaí have been called."

Talk-down is live and human. Not a pre-recorded "you are being recorded" clip.

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 Vigil 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 / Vigil

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.

Off-Grid Deterrent

No power. No broadband. Still watched — and spoken to.

ImageDeep's proprietary power-efficient hardware ImageDeep's proprietary power-efficient hardware keeps a low-power timeline running 24/7, then switches to full frame rate when a person or vehicle is detected — so there is no PIR blind spot. Pair that hardware with ImageDeep Vigil and a remote farm, construction site, yard, holiday home or solar site gets the same verified talk-down as a wired site.

A tall hire tower is the right choice when the buyer wants one visible mast. On-Duty Guard is the right choice when they need a live human voice at many points — without civils or a crane.

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.
