Construction site AI cameras that help keep crews safe

Know when someone is missing their PPE, walks into a danger zone or gets too close to moving plant, day or night.

Talk to us about your site See the zone plan
Updated October 2026

Construction site AI cameras for New Zealand sites check PPE, watch exclusion zones around cranes, excavations and moving plant, and flag activity after hours. Every event is saved with its image and time to support your safety system.

  • PPE checked at entry and in work zones
  • Alerts when people enter danger zones
  • Warnings near moving machinery
  • After-hours alerts with images
  • A timed record of every event
Zone plan

Draw a zone around every hazard

Zones move as the site changes, and anyone stepping inside sends an alert with the image.

Illustrative construction site plan with AI-monitored zones A plan view of a construction site. Cameras cover the gate, the structure and the excavation. Numbered zones: 1, the gate, where PPE is checked on entry and vehicles are logged; 2, the tower crane's swing zone; 3, an exclusion zone around the excavation; 4, a proximity zone around a working excavator; 5, the perimeter fence, watched after hours. One person has walked into the crane swing zone, and an alert travels from that point to the site office. Site office Structure Excavation 1 2 3 4 5
  1. Gate. PPE checked on the way in, and vehicles logged.
  2. Crane swing zone. An alert if anyone steps under the crane’s reach.
  3. Excavation. An exclusion zone around the open edge.
  4. Moving plant. A warning when people get too close to working machinery.
  5. Perimeter. Watched after hours for people and vehicles.

Alert · 10:42 Person inside the crane swing zone. Supervisor notified with the image.

Illustrative site plan. Zones are drawn over each camera’s view and moved as the site changes.
Monitoring

Watch the whole site, around the clock

Every zone and every shift, plus the hours when nobody should be there.

PPE detection

Hard hats, hi-vis and other required gear, checked area by area.

Exclusion zones

An alert when someone walks into a danger zone.

People near plant

A warning when people get too close to working machinery.

After-hours security

People or vehicles on site after hours, with animals filtered out.

Near misses

Close calls saved with images, ready for investigation.

Deliveries

Delivery vehicles logged in and out with time and image.

Site headcount

How many people are on site and in each zone, without identifying anyone.

Plant activity

Working and idle time for cranes and heavy machinery.

    • Event log every breach and near miss, with its time and image
    • Reports daily summaries for site and safety meetings
    What your team gets
Cyan is what the AI sees; amber is what your supervisors get. You choose who gets alerts and what the reports show.
  1. 01

    Walk the site

    We review your layout, main hazards and existing cameras, and specify additional cameras where needed.

  2. 02

    Set your site rules

    Which PPE each area needs, where the danger zones are, and who gets alerted. Custom AI vision models.

  3. 03

    Run on site

    Offline edge deployment keeps alerts running on site, with no dependence on external connectivity. Cloud and hybrid deployments are available where remote access and multi-site reporting matter. Why on-site AI.

  4. 04

    Keep the record

    Every alert is saved with its image and time, ready for investigations and toolbox talks.

What AI cameras can and can’t do

They spot hazards and raise alerts, but they can’t physically stop anyone. They back up your barriers, inductions and site controls rather than replacing them. Computer vision for construction site safety.

Show your safety controls are working

Workplace health and safety laws require risks to be managed so far as is reasonably practicable, and a timed record of PPE checks and zone alerts helps show your controls are in place. This is general information, not legal advice.

Footage stays on your site

Footage is processed and stored on site by default. The system looks for PPE, people in zones and vehicles after hours, and counts people without identifying them; workplace-surveillance rules are considered in the design.

Log trucks at the gate too

Gate cameras log trucks on and off site through vehicle and site monitoring. Compare GPS and cameras for automated truck counting, or see quarry truck counting for loading-pad records.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How does AI PPE detection work on a construction site?
Cameras at entry points and across the site check each person for the PPE that area needs, such as a hard hat, hi-vis or safety glasses. A missing item sends an alert to a supervisor, saved with its time and image.
Can it enforce exclusion zones?
It monitors them. Zones are drawn around hazards such as crane swing areas, excavations and edge work, and anyone entering triggers an alert with the image. It can’t physically stop anyone, so it works alongside barriers and signage.
Can we use the site’s existing CCTV?
Yes, where it suits the task. We integrate with existing security cameras for gates, perimeters and large areas, and supply cameras specified for closer checks, such as PPE at entry points. Adding AI to existing cameras.
Will it work at night and in bad weather?
Night work, glare, dust and rain are part of training on your own footage, and after-hours coverage needs cameras that see well in low light. Heavy rain, dense dust or fog can still reduce accuracy.
Does it work across multiple sites?
Yes. Each site runs on its own, so a problem at one doesn’t affect the others, and a combined view shows every site in one place.
Is this surveillance of workers?
It is designed to watch hazards, not how people work: missing PPE, people in danger zones and activity after hours. It doesn’t identify individuals, and workers should be told where the cameras are and why.
