How many days of delay come from waiting on deliveries or machinery?
Downtime caused by trucks waiting or idle machinery is rarely measured on site. Tracking activity in access and storage zones helps plan deliveries and rotations better.
Smart Vision for construction
Tighter site control, from the gate to the danger zones
VIDEO.MA designs Smart Vision installations for construction sites: access and vehicle counting, after-hours intrusion and danger-zone alerts, and progress documentation through periodic snapshots. Each setup is designed around power, connectivity and project duration.
What it is costing you today
Free auditHow much equipment leaves the site without anyone noticing?
Theft and loss of equipment are often discovered the next day, or later. Alerts on storage zones outside working hours let you react while it is still possible.
How many entries into danger zones go unseen?
A presence in a hazardous area is often only known after an incident. Alerts on defined zones help react in the moment and adapt barriers and signage, without individually monitoring workers.
Construction Sites
Industry challenges
Hard-to-quantify access
The number of workers and vehicles entering the site varies widely between phases, with no consolidated tracking.
After-hours intrusion and theft
Materials, tools and machinery are exposed at night and weekends on sites that are often open or poorly fenced.
Presence in danger zones
Lifting areas, excavations and machinery routes put people at risk when instructions are not followed.
Poorly documented progress
Project owners and remote teams lack regular visual evidence to follow the progress of works.
VIDEO.MA
What VIDEO.MA delivers
Access counting
Per projectAggregated count of people entering and leaving through the main gate, by time slot and by day.
Vehicle and machinery entry/exit
Per projectCounting of trucks, machinery and light vehicles at site gates, with a time-slot history.
After-hours intrusion alerts
Per projectNotification of people or vehicles on site outside working hours, in addition to guarding.
Danger-zone alerts
Per projectPresence detection in a defined zone (lifting radius, excavation, storage) based on configurable rules.
PPE detection (helmet, vest)
Feasibility studyDetection of helmets or high-visibility vests, highly dependent on distance, angle and lighting; must be validated through an on-site study.
Progress documentation
Per projectScheduled periodic snapshots from fixed viewpoints to build a visual history of the works.
Centralised multi-site monitoring
Coming soonSelf-service consolidated view of several sites and their alerts, planned for the future SaaS platform.

Deployment approach
- 1
Site audit and feasibility
Review of the site plan, access points, risk zones, power supply and available 4G/5G coverage.
- 2
Zone and indicator configuration
Definition of counting lines at gates, danger zones, alert time windows and progress viewpoints.
- 3
Pilot on one gate or zone
Installation of a first mast or standalone kit, validation of detections under real dust, weather and lighting conditions.
- 4
Rollout and follow-up
Extension to other zones, adaptation to each project phase, maintenance and dismantling at the end of works.
Prerequisites, limitations and privacy
- Site installations are temporary: power (mains, generator or solar), 4G/5G connectivity and camera mounting are studied case by case.
- Dust, rain, wind and changing light can reduce accuracy; maintenance and lens cleaning must be planned.
- PPE detection remains at study stage: it does not replace safety supervision or the contractor’s regulatory obligations.
- Alerts complement guarding and intrusion systems; they do not replace them.
- As data controller, the project owner or contractor completes Law 09-08 formalities with the CNDP and informs workers; VIDEO.MA can provide support.
Frequently asked questions
How do you power cameras on a site with no grid?
Depending on the site, power can come from the temporary connection, a generator or a solar kit with battery. Connectivity is usually provided by a 4G/5G router, with coverage checked during the audit.
Is helmet and vest detection reliable?
It depends heavily on distance, viewing angle, lighting and the clothing worn. That is why it is offered at study stage, with an on-site test before any decision.
Can the system follow the site as it evolves?
Yes. Zones and viewpoints can be reconfigured from phase to phase, and equipment can be moved as the site footprint changes.
What happens to the equipment when works end?
The setup is designed to be dismantled. Terms for return, rental or reuse on another site are defined as part of the project.
