Texas-based Sitemetric has launched an AI-powered camera to provide real-time intelligence at active construction sites.

Designed to understand construction environments, the camera gives general contractors real-time intelligence on safety compliance, site security and workforce activity, backed by AI-surfaced alerts, round-the-clock US-based monitoring, and onsite access control officers who can respond in minutes.

Generic security cameras see motion; this camera understands construction. Its proprietary AI engine is trained to recognise the equipment, behaviour and hazards found on active job sites, detecting hard hat and vest compliance, flagging workers without Sitemetric badge identification, automatically identifying falls, recognising fire and hazardous conditions, monitoring restricted zones, and detecting vehicle deliveries. Every alert is tied to a specific worker identified by their Sitemetric badge ID, employer and zone, giving project teams the context to act fast and the documentation to stay compliant.

“Construction sites are complex, high-stakes environments, and they’ve never had a camera smart enough to match that complexity,” said Rich Riley, CEO of Sitemetric. “The Sitemetric AI camera doesn’t just watch, it understands what it sees, surfaces what matters and empowers trained people on the ground to act on it. That combination of intelligence and real-world response is what changes outcomes for safety and security on the worksite.”

The AI is trained specifically on construction environments, detecting PPE compliance, falls, badge presence, fire, restricted zone violations and vehicle activity with precision. When the AI surfaces an incident, it doesn’t sit in a queue. Alerts go immediately to the Sitemetric app and to Sitemetric’s US-based monitoring team, who triage and verify in real time, then notify access control officers already stationed on the site to take appropriate action.

The camera detects badge presence and absence, linking camera feeds directly to worker identity and subcontractor data in the Sitemetric platform. Every detection is tied to full site history, searchable by event, person or zone. PPE detection, fall alerts, zone enforcement and OSHA-ready compliance reporting are all delivered automatically.

It supports PTZ, bullet, fisheye, thermal and active deterrence camera systems configurable for varying worksite conditions, with 5Mpixel resolution and low-light performance. Always-on satellite connectivity has solar-powered battery backup and generator support. It is NDAA compliant.

Sitemetric handles setup, connectivity and ongoing support end to end. The camera integrates directly with the Sitemetric platform, giving project teams a unified view of camera feeds, headcount data, incident history and compliance reporting in a single app from day one.

The Sitemetric (sitemetric.com) platform serves more than a million workers, over 16,000 contractors and operations across 40 states.
