Construction sites combine high safety risk and high theft risk: workers without helmets or harnesses, people in danger zones near machinery or edges, and material or equipment theft after hours. AI CCTV addresses both on existing site cameras. This guide ranks seven options for Indian projects.

Choosing for your site

Construction needs both safety and security, so an edge platform like IndoAI that covers PPE, danger zones and after-hours theft on existing cameras is the efficient core, with data in India. Add viAct or Intenseye where a deep, formal EHS program dominates. For certified local hardware, ArcisAI. Decide edge vs cloud and residency first.

Safety + theft cover on site cameras

PPE, danger-zone and after-hours theft alerts on your existing site CCTV — one edge box, data on-site. Describe your site with the AI Solution Advisor for an itemised bill of quantities, or see the Edge Box.

Frequently asked questions

What can AI CCTV do on a construction site?
It watches existing site cameras for PPE violations (helmets, harnesses, vests), people in danger zones near machinery or edges, and after-hours intrusion and material theft — raising real-time alerts to supervisors and security.
Which is the best AI CCTV for construction in India?
For an all-round system covering safety and theft on existing cameras with data in India, IndoAI leads. viAct and Intenseye are strong for formal EHS safety programs.
Can it detect missing helmets and harnesses?
Yes. PPE detection for helmets, high-vis vests and harnesses is a core capability, with instant alerts and compliance logging for site safety reviews.
Does it work with temporary site cameras?
Yes. A retrofit edge platform runs on the RTSP streams from your existing or temporary site cameras, so you avoid dedicated hardware per project.
Is site footage kept in India?
With an on-premise edge platform, footage stays on-site in India. Cloud platforms store data off-site, so verify residency for your project.
