In this episode, we dive into the cutting-edge world of AI-powered surveillance for construction sites based on the blog “Best 10 AI Surveillance Systems Securing Construction Sites in 2025” (see full text here: https://alphavision.ai/blogs/axis-integration/top-10-ai-surveillance-construction-2025). We’ll walk through the top platforms making waves in 2025, the pros and challenges, and what to watch for as these solutions evolve.

Key Takeaways

• Why construction is uniquely vulnerable theft, safety, and shifting perimeter environments

• Overview of 10 leading AI surveillance systems (Axis + Alpha Vision integration; Genetec; Avigilon; Avigilon Alta; Verkada; Rhombus; Eagle Eye; Hanwha Vision; Milestone; Spot AI)

• Strengths and trade-offs: cloud vs on-premises, cost, internet dependency, compliance (NDAA, TAA)

• Key features to evaluate: real-time alerts, license plate recognition, safety compliance (hard hat detection, behavior), edge analytics, scalability

• Practical tips: begin with pilot sites, calibrate alerts, plan for connectivity outages, and choose modular systems

Who Should Listen

• Construction firms and site security teams

• Technology integrators and system architects

• Safety & compliance officers in infrastructure / heavy civil industries

• CTOs or innovation leads in engineering or real estate development
