A heavy-manufacturing group turned CCTV into active protection
A heavy-manufacturing group turned passive CCTV into active protection across 2 plants — detecting PPE gaps, intrusions, fire/smoke and restricted-zone entry in real time.
The challenge
Passive recording caught incidents only on review — PPE violations, intrusions and hazards needed catching as they happened.
Passive recording only catches incidents on review — after the fact. PPE violations, perimeter intrusions and hazards need to be caught as they happen, not discovered in footage later.
What we deployed
VISTA Safety & Security — intrusion, PPE-compliance, fire/smoke and restricted-zone detection on existing cameras.
Key capabilities- PPE complianceDetects missing PPE on the floor.
- Intrusion & perimeterPerimeter breaches flagged in real time.
- Fire/smoke detectionEarly hazard detection.
- Restricted zonesUnauthorised entry alerts.
- Frame evidenceResponses come with exact frames.
- Existing camerasRuns on installed CCTV.
How it works
Cameras detect PPE gaps, perimeter breaches, hazards and restricted-zone entry in real time, alerting EHS and security with the exact frame.
Outcomes
- PPE-compliance monitoring on the floor
- Perimeter and intrusion alerts
- Fire/smoke and hazard detection
- Response with frame-level evidence
The use case in depth
The cameras that record a plant are usually passive — valuable only after something goes wrong. Adding computer vision makes them active: PPE gaps, intrusions, fire/smoke and restricted-zone entry are detected as they happen and pushed to EHS and security with the exact frame.
That shift — from evidence-after to alert-during — is what turns recording infrastructure into a live safety system, without replacing a single camera.

See UrSpayce VISTA →Frequently asked questions
How does AI make CCTV a safety system?
Computer vision detects PPE violations, perimeter intrusions, fire/smoke and restricted-zone entry in real time on existing cameras, alerting EHS and security with the exact frame — instead of only catching incidents on review.
Does it require new cameras?
No. UrSpayce VISTA runs on the plant's existing CCTV.
What hazards can it detect?
Missing PPE, perimeter and intrusion events, fire and smoke, and unauthorised entry into restricted zones.
