One camera network. Every kind of site

A waste yard, a warehouse and a members' club face very different risks, and their cameras should watch for different things. Pick your sector to see the detection modules that suit it and what each one watches for, all on the CCTV you already have.

Waste & recycling6 recommended modules

Stockpiles and tipping halls can smoulder for hours before anyone notices, often after the site has closed. Woodcock AI watches the cameras you already have for the first signs of smoke and flame, and checks the yard and the people working in it on the same feeds.

Key risks

  • Stockpile and bay fires that start out of hours
  • Lithium-ion batteries hidden in loads
  • Trespass and metal theft after the gates are locked
  • People on foot working near loading shovels

Recommended pack

  • Smoke & fireThin grey smoke rising from the back of a stockpile at 3am, sent with the clip so someone can check it straight away.
  • IntrusionSomeone climbing the palisade fence into the yard after the gates are locked.
  • Human detectionA person on foot in the quarantine bay, where nobody should be.
  • Vehicle detectionA lorry pulling up to the tipping bay outside permitted hours.

Industrial & manufacturing3 recommended modules

Factories run machinery, dust, heat and people side by side. The CCTV covering the floor can also watch for flame at a line, people in restricted areas or, with safety modules such as PPE detection, where supported, confirmed in your site assessment, safety issues, and tell supervisors what happened in plain English.

Key risks

  • Fires at machinery, extraction and dusty processes
  • People working close to moving plant

Recommended pack

  • Smoke & fireA flame at a production line or extraction unit, picked up by the camera that covers the floor.
