Real-World Use Case: Intellity’s AI Surveillance for Construction Sites
Intellity, a Com4 customer, shows how IoT-enabled surveillance meets real-world demands—specifically, securing construction sites. Importantly, Intellity’s solution uses Bosch camera technology, combining industrial-grade optics with custom software and AI analytics. This demonstrates how Com4’s IoT connectivity can support not just Intellity’s solution, but a wide range of CCTV OEM applications.
Surveillance in Challenging, Temporary Environments
Construction sites are temporary, remote, and dynamic—conditions that challenge traditional surveillance systems. Intellity addresses this with mobile units combining Bosch cameras, AI threat detection, and Com4’s IoT connectivity.
Technology Integration: Cameras, AI, and IoT
Intellity’s solution brings together:
- Bosch Cameras: High-resolution footage under demanding conditions.
- AI-Powered Threat Detection: Distinguishes people from noise, enabling faster response.
- Com4 Cellular IoT: Provides always-on connectivity without relying on site-based internet.
Outcomes for Construction Sites
With Bosch camera tech, AI, and Com4’s IoT:
- Reduced Theft and Vandalism: Real-time alerts support rapid response.
- 24/7 Monitoring Without Staff On-Site: Cuts operating costs.
- Improved Safety Compliance: Provides incident records and audit trails.
- Mobile Deployment: Systems move with the project or set up rapidly on new sites.
This shows how IoT-driven surveillance boosts operational efficiency and security in complex environments.
