SightPod™ mounts on a machine or site vehicle and sees the work from an angle a tower cannot. It can observe the space around the asset, follow a specific operation and add another source of evidence to the site-wide picture.
Human form recognition answers one question: is there a person near the machine? SightPod™ answers it, built to the industry’s HFR specification.
The same cameras also see what the machine is doing, so a safety system becomes a source of productivity and commercial evidence too. For fleets fitting new HFR or upgrading what they have, it is one system rather than two.
Every view has depth, so the distance to a person is measured rather than estimated.
Inner and outer zones shown where the operator is already looking.
Our own thumbs-up system, so people know when the machine is safe to approach.
Loading, waiting, travelling and idle, read against the programme on SiteRecorder™.
The industry’s HFR specification asks for detection accuracy above 95%, across test conditions that are deliberately hard.
The mounting position, field of view and purpose are selected for the asset and the task.

Purpose
Observations from the moving camera can be combined with fixed views and project information, so the team can understand an event in context rather than as an isolated frame.
Some observations may be useful as a prompt to an operator; others belong in a site team briefing or reviewable evidence pack. Any safety-critical alerting requires its own testing and validation for the machine, task and environment.
Fixed views from SightTower™ units sit alongside the moving view, and every observation comes together on the site’s SiteRecorder.
SightTower™A substantial multi-camera observation point for an active site area.
SightTower™ XA twin-camera observation point with a stable, relocatable cabinet base.
SightTower™ SolarObservation where a mains connection is difficult or unavailable.
SightTower™ MobileA wheeled unit that can move quickly to a defined activity or work area.
