Cameras to start a pilot

/01The problem

Cameras record. Nobody watches.

  1. /1

    You find out about a problem a week later.

    Nobody on site tells you everything. By the time you hear, it has cost a day — or a stop.

  2. /2

    A dispute with the client — and no evidence.

    Claims without dated frames are lost. One day of docking delay costs a shipyard $25–75K.

  3. /3

    30 cameras record video nobody watches.

    One operator cannot watch 30 screens. Another dashboard nobody opens does not help.

/02Where it works

Sites with no server room, no IT and no one at a monitor.

Shipyards

Dated progress for the ship owner.

  • Hull and block progress, day by day
  • Hot work near fuel lines
  • Crane and dock idle time

Construction

A dated site diary for claims.

  • Dated evidence for claims and EOT
  • Subcontractor presence and work
  • Deliveries, theft, after-hours access

Factories & yards

Know what happened without being there.

  • Incidents and restricted zones
  • Hot work only with a permit
  • Line and loading-bay status

/03The difference

Ordinary cameras classify a person or a car in a fixed frame. VION turns, zooms in, remembers the scene — and writes the report.

  2. UnderstandsA vision-language model on the device. No server.

/05How it works

Watches. Understands. Reports.

/1Watches

It decides where to look — and zooms in.

The PTZ head ranks what is happening and points the lens at priority one. Optical zoom up to 30×. One PTZ covers what usually takes 3–4 fixed cameras.

/2Understands

You set zones and rules in plain words. It remembers the scene.

A new task is a sentence in the chat, not a new project. Ask what happened — it answers with a frame and a time.

Example

Watch the crane. Hot work only with a permit.

VIONRule set: crane zone. Hot work without a permit will be flagged in the morning report.

What happened at the crane after lunch?

VION13:50 — crane stopped. Idle until 16:20. No one in the crane zone during that time.Frame · 13:50

And at gate 3?

VIONGate 3 was outside my view after 12:00. I can’t say.

  • Zones and rules — in the chat.“Watch the crane.” “Hot work only with a permit.”
  • Scene memory.Ask about any moment — the answer comes with a frame and a time.
  • Says when it didn’t see.No guessing. If it was out of view, the camera tells you so.
  • Your language.Reports in English. Vietnamese and Arabic on request.

/3Reports

A dated report with frames. Every morning, in WhatsApp.

Not a video stream. Not another dashboard. The owner reads it in two minutes — and forwards it to the client.

1

Fixed price per camera.

Per month. No modules, no hidden extras.

/12Questions

Asked before every pilot.

Does it work without internet?

Yes. The analysis runs on the camera. LTE is only needed to deliver the report — we bring our own SIM.

Do we need to replace our cameras or NVR?

No. VION is installed next to them and replaces nothing.

How is it different from a Hikvision with smart analytics?

Hikvision classifies “person / vehicle” in a fixed frame. VION turns, zooms in, remembers the scene and writes the report.

Night, dust, heat?

Industrial housing: CNC-machined aluminium, IP66, passive cooling, rated −10 … +50 °C.

How many cameras do we need?

One PTZ covers what usually takes 3–4 fixed cameras. A typical site needs 3–10.

How much does it cost?

One price per camera per month, no modules. The pilot is agreed per site.

How fast is installation?

One day. No IT department needed.

Do we need SIRA / ADMCC certification?

Not for private workshops, warehouses and construction sites. Regulated facilities — case by case.

What languages are the reports in?

English. Vietnamese and Arabic on request.

Can I ask the camera a question?

Yes, in the chat: “What happened at the crane after lunch?” — the answer comes with a frame and a time. If the camera didn’t see it, it says so.

You are a young company. Where are the case studies?

No case studies yet — first pilot reports arrive November 2026. The first pilot is a shipyard in Vietnam.
