Press Releases

October 29, 2024 -- EarthCam, the leading provider of construction camera technology and software today announced the launch of its upgraded 2 Camera Perimeter Detection System, utilizing a combination of EarthCam’s advanced security software and UL Listed, Five Diamond Central Station Monitoring (CSM) centers to view, verify and respond. A new deep-learning chip offers faster processing and enhanced AI capabilities to accurately detect people and vehicles, leading to fewer false alarms.

The new 2 Camera Perimeter Detection System features an extended detection range ensuring broader and more cost-effective coverage of critical areas. The system can now detect people and vehicles significantly further away than the previous model, so that the entire project perimeter can be secured with fewer systems on each jobsite. If a person or vehicle enters a designated zone, alerts are sent to the central station where trained professionals review the incident, assess the risk and dispatch law enforcement if necessary. Project managers can also choose whether to be notified, and when. “Talk down” capabilities can also be activated, along with a deterrent strobe light. Systems are available with customizable camera configurations, including Infrared (IR) cameras with AI capabilities, thermal cameras or a hybrid system featuring both options.

“With thefts often occurring after hours, it’s critical for our clients to have a security solution that delivers clear images in low-light conditions,” said John Marsha, Sales Director, Security & Risk Management at EarthCam. “Our new perimeter detection system not only enhances visibility, but also provides smarter AI analytics for better performance and quicker response times.”

Additionally, the system offers significantly improved night monitoring capabilities. With a 100% increase in IR illumination range, the camera now provides clear visibility at more than a football field away, even in complete darkness. This is particularly important for construction sites, where many thefts occur after hours and in low-light environments. The upgraded system also features an enhanced frame rate, allowing for crisper and more detailed footage, especially when capturing objects moving at speed, or replaying events frame-by-frame.

EarthCam’s Control Center has long been the software of choice among industry leaders for smart project documentation, promotion, safety and security. EarthCam provides camera rentals, professional installation and reality capture services to make construction project management more efficient with powerful visual data.
