RoboK SiteLens® – AI Safety Monitoring on Your Existing CCTV

RoboK SiteLens is AI safety monitoring for the CCTV you already have. It uses computer vision to turn a site’s existing camera feeds into a record of near misses, people in vehicle routes and other safety events: the time, the place and the clip, on every shift. It reports what it records by zone and shift, usually without new cameras.

RoboK SiteLens at a glance

What it is
AI safety monitoring software. It uses computer vision on the CCTV a site already has.
What it records
Near misses between people and vehicles, people in vehicle routes and outside marked walkways, entries to restricted zones, PPE, working at height on vehicles, trailers and loads, smoking in areas the site marks as no-smoking, and vehicles over a set speed limit. Each event comes with the time, the zone and the clip.
Where it is used
Ports and terminals, shipyards, logistics and warehousing, and manufacturing sites. Available in the UK, Europe and the US.
Setup and support
Set up remotely or on site, on your existing cameras or our 4G camera. Support covers US hours, and new detections can be added on request.
Cameras
Usually your existing CCTV. We assess each camera first, and can supply one where a zone has no usable camera.
Data
Processed and stored securely; where it is held is set out in your contract. RoboK is Cyber Essentials certified and a University of Cambridge spinout, founded in 2017.
How to start
Safety Mapping: a free two-week trial on one camera position. Use ours, on its own 4G with no access to your network, or one of your own cameras, typically one to two weeks from camera access to the first events.

How It Works

RoboK SiteLens® connects to your site’s CCTV and watches the feeds continuously, across every shift. It records safety events including people close to moving vehicles, people outside marked walkways, entries to restricted zones, PPE and working at height. Each event is logged with the time, the place and the clip. Spill detection is also available for manufacturing sites.

The RoboK Safety Workflow

  1. Review what happened — Supervisors see events by type, zone and time of day, with the clips worth their attention
  2. Brief your team — Use real clips from your own site to start the safety conversation
  3. Check the change held — Keep watching the same areas to see whether the new control works on every shift

Safety Reporting

Track hazard counts by category and how they change over time, on the areas you choose to cover. Alongside incident figures, you get a measure of what happens before an incident: the near misses and unsafe moments that usually go unreported.

RoboK SiteLens® FAQs

What is RoboK SiteLens? RoboK SiteLens is workplace safety monitoring software. It connects to the CCTV a site already has and uses computer vision to record near misses, pedestrian–vehicle interactions, entries to restricted zones and PPE, and reports them by zone and shift.

Do we need new cameras to use RoboK SiteLens? Usually not. RoboK SiteLens runs on the CCTV a site already has, where camera position and image quality are good enough; we assess each camera before relying on it. Where a zone has no usable camera, we can supply one. Sites can also start with Safety Mapping: a free two-week trial on one camera, either ours on its own 4G connection with no access to your network, or one of the site's own. We check the camera's view first (a still image is enough). If it doesn't show the area clearly, we start on our camera instead.

What can RoboK SiteLens detect? People close to moving vehicles, including forklift and pedestrian near misses; people walking outside marked walkways; entries to restricted zones you define; PPE (high-visibility clothing, hard hats and protective clothing where required); people working at height on vehicles, trailers and loads; and vehicles over a set speed limit. Spill detection (liquid on the floor, flagged as a slip risk) and detection of items left in marked walkways are also available. Each event is recorded with the time, the zone and the clip.

How can we capture near misses that are never reported? RoboK SiteLens records near misses between vehicles and people from the camera feeds, so they are captured without depending on someone noticing and reporting them. Over weeks, that shows where and when they happen, alongside your incident figures.

What can we put in place after a workplace safety incident to prevent recurrence? Monitoring of the area or behaviour involved, so unsafe interactions and near misses are recorded rather than depending on someone observing and reporting them. Every event is timestamped and categorised, which gives an evidence trail for the investigation and a way to see whether the control you put in place is actually holding.

How quickly can we get started? On our camera, Safety Mapping needs only mains power: it runs on its own 4G, with no IT involvement. On a site's own cameras, RoboK SiteLens typically takes one to two weeks from camera access to the first events, including assessment, configuration and training.

How is RoboK SiteLens data handled? All data is processed and stored securely; where it is held is set out in your contract. Footage is kept for 30 days as standard and clips flagged as hazards for the length of your subscription; both can be changed in your contract. Faces can be blurred on request, access is limited to named user accounts, and RoboK is Cyber Essentials certified. Our data-handling documents and DPA are available on request.

Which industries use RoboK SiteLens? Ports and terminals, logistics and warehousing, and manufacturing. We have also worked on roadworks and at a railway level crossing.
