Vision Copilot for Construction Projects
Map cameras to the places your team manages and ask Vision Copilot about changing routes and supervision across project areas. OrionAlerts analyses scenes over time to surface alerts, recommendations and operational scores that help you decide what to review today and what to improve next.

Update the monitoring plan as the work changes.
Temporary routes, equipment movement and changing work areas make construction monitoring different from a fixed factory. A rule that was useful last month may now cover a different activity. Vehicle and struck-by hazards are established construction concerns. Keep cameras, zone definitions and response responsibilities aligned with the current site plan.
Ask your building what needs attention. OrionAlerts maps cameras to your sites, buildings, floors, zones and rooms, analyses scenes over time, and brings the results into Vision Copilot. Search in everyday language, review alerts and recommendations, and use operational scores to guide daily decisions and improvement priorities.
Building intelligence
Your operation, mapped
Organise views around the places the team recognises. Select the location to establish the context for scene observations and Copilot questions. This example uses the shared hierarchy; map the actual site rather than inventing rooms or camera coverage.
See your operation in the structure your team uses. Organise sites, buildings, floors, zones and rooms, then map cameras to their locations. A question about reception, a loading bay or a production area starts with a recognisable place and its available camera context.

Vision Copilot
Ask Vision Copilot
Ask what happened. Find where it happened. Decide what to review next. Vision Copilot lets you type questions and search available visual observations in everyday language. Use the mapped location and a relevant period to focus the conversation on the operation you manage.
Illustrative example
Question
Show observations from the current equipment-access zone today.
Five ways teams use this
Use cases for your operation
Bring the right location into the decision
Connect changing routes and supervision across project areas to the building tree and its mapped cameras. The team can start with a named operational area instead of trying to remember which camera covers it, making observations easier to interpret and discuss.
Search visual observations in everyday language
Ask Vision Copilot, “Show observations from the current equipment-access zone today.” Use the location and review period to focus the search on relevant available observations. The purpose is to reach useful context without manually working through unrelated camera views.
Identify recurring conditions across scenes
Ask, “Which covered work zones have recurring entry observations?” Ongoing scene analysis supports review of patterns across the available observations. Use the recurring condition to frame the next investigation rather than treating one isolated alert as the whole operational picture.
Turn analysis into an improvement decision
Ask, “What should the supervisor review after this week's layout change?” Review the recommendation alongside the underlying observations and the team's operating knowledge. The example below shows a practical next step; it is a suggested action for human consideration, not an automatic instruction to change equipment or procedures.
Use scores to structure the next review
Use 0–100 scores to organise attention across zones under the same layout version; avoid direct comparison after unrecorded site changes. Review the contributing observations and coverage before acting. The proposed dimensions for this industry are Visible PPE Practices, Work-Zone Control and Shared-Route Readiness; use the approved product methodology when demonstrating actual values.
Illustrative decision story
From scenes to decisions
Illustrative decision story — not a customer result. Observe: Repeated zone-entry observations appear after an access route changes. Ask: “What should the supervisor review after this week's layout change?” Suggested recommendation: Review the current route, boundary definition and camera mapping with the supervisor before treating the pattern as a new behavioural issue. Decide: The responsible team reviews the evidence and agrees an action. Follow up: Revisit the same area and comparable period to assess observations, coverage and score movement. A subsequent change is not proof of causation.
Cameras are mapped to the places your teams manage. Ongoing scene analysis brings observations and alerts into that location context. Use Vision Copilot to ask what happened and what needs attention, review recommendations, and decide on the next action. Return to the same scope and a comparable period to assess the observations and scores after a change.
Observed
Repeated zone-entry observations appear after an access route changes.
Recommendation
Review the current route, boundary definition and camera mapping with the supervisor before treating the pattern as a new behavioural issue.
Follow up
Revisit the same area and comparable period to assess observations, coverage and score movement.
Operational scores
See what needs attention—and what changes after action.
Bring changing routes and supervision across project areas into a structured review with operational scores out of 100. Use the score alongside the location, period and contributing observations to decide where to focus. Compare zones under the same layout version only when the assessment basis is consistent; avoid direct comparison after unrecorded site changes.
Proposed score names and formulas are design recommendations. Demonstrate only approved product values or clearly labelled illustrative states. If no valid opportunities exist, show Not assessed — never invent a flattering percentage.
Visible practices
Visible PPE Practices
Not assessed
Proposed dimension · proposal-3.2
A specified visible PPE item meets the agreed criterion at an observable stable entry during sampled assessment windows.
Access practices
Work-Zone Control
Not assessed
Proposed dimension · proposal-3.2
Reviewed entry into a configured ground-level equipment or lifting zone follows the agreed observable rule for the review period.
Readiness/orderliness
Shared-Route Readiness
Not assessed
Proposed dimension · proposal-3.2
A mapped shared site crossing or temporary route is clear according to an agreed observable criterion.

Deployment
Start with the cameras, conditions and decisions that matter.
A useful deployment starts with a defined problem. Review camera coverage, operating hours, lighting, network capacity and who will respond to an alert. Select a small set of observable events, agree how to assess them and expand after the pilot demonstrates useful results. Revalidate zones after each material layout change. Plan power, network access, mounting and temporary-camera maintenance. Test dust, weather, changing heights and occlusion.

How to evaluate a pilot
What to measure in a pilot
Pilot results depend on scene conditions and event definitions. Compare reviewed alerts with representative ground-truth observations, including missed events. Track nuisance alerts and response times before setting a wider rollout target. The measures shown here are evaluation criteria, not guaranteed improvements.
Reviewed PPE observations per observable entry
Confirmed relevant PPE observations divided by sampled observable entries at stable entry points, using an agreed review rubric.
Source of truth: Labelled samples and supervisor review logs
Valid zone alerts after layout changes
Share of reviewed zone alerts that remain relevant after the current layout version is confirmed against the site plan.
Source of truth: Current site plan and supervisor logs
Time to acknowledge reviewed events
Acknowledgement timestamp minus delivered or available alert timestamp for reviewed construction events.
Source of truth: Supervisor acknowledgement records

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Can a camera prove a harness is correctly attached?
General CCTV cannot reliably verify every attachment and safety condition. Use the required physical inspection and supervision.
How often should zones be updated?
Whenever the monitored layout or work activity changes materially, followed by a validation check.
Can footage prove structural safety?
No. Structural assessment requires the appropriate engineering methods and authorised professionals.
What is Vision Copilot?
Vision Copilot is OrionAlerts' conversational interface for asking questions and searching available visual observations. It uses the mapped operational context to help teams review what needs attention and consider relevant next steps.
Why map cameras to a building tree?
A camera becomes more useful when its view is connected to a place the team recognises. The hierarchy connects sites, buildings, floors, zones and rooms with their cameras, giving searches and operational reviews a consistent location context.
What do scores out of 100 mean?
Scores help organise review of observed conditions. Read each score with its stated assessment basis, location, period and supporting observations. A score is not a certificate of safety or compliance, and missing observations do not prove that conditions are satisfactory.
Can recommendations guide property improvements?
Recommendations can help your team identify issues to inspect and changes to assess, such as staging arrangements, access practices or camera coverage. Review the evidence and operational constraints before deciding on a change; outcomes are not guaranteed.
Can we use our existing CCTV cameras?
Compatible IP camera streams may be reused after a technical assessment. Camera position, image quality, supported stream formats, network access and available compute determine which use cases are practical. Confirm the selected cameras and deployment architecture before rollout.
How should video access and retention be planned?
Define the purpose of monitoring, authorised users, retention period and incident-review process before deployment. Discuss the required access, storage and privacy controls during the assessment and verify what the selected configuration supports. Apply your organisation's policies and the requirements relevant to your location and people being recorded.
