Construction site CCTV can do more than record what happened after the fact.
On one project, the team needed a way to know when someone entered a high-risk rooftop area or crossed beyond a live-edge barrier.
The solution was to configure virtual detection lines within the camera system.
If someone crossed the defined boundary, the system could automatically send the site foreman a notification and an image of what triggered the alert.
That means better visibility over a high-risk area — and a faster way for the site team to become aware of potential issues.
In our new video, Elliott walks through how the system was configured and why intelligent CCTV can become an early-warning tool, rather than simply something reviewed after an incident.
