Stop Finding Out About Safety Violations After the Fact
Nsightify monitors your workforce continuously — detecting PPE violations, hazard-zone breaches, forklift near-misses, blocked exits, and commotion in real time, across every camera. Choose Nsightify Cloud, or On-Premises (Zero Trust) where not a single frame leaves your network.
OSHA issued over $25M+ in workplace safety penalties last year. Head protection and fall protection remain among the top 10 most cited violations every single year.
The problem
Manual Safety Checks Don't Scale
Safety managers can’t be in every corner of a job site, warehouse floor, or production facility at once. PPE violations go unnoticed between walkthroughs. Incidents get documented — but rarely prevented.
Adding AI shouldn’t force a trade-off on where your footage lives. Some teams want a fully managed cloud; others can’t let sensitive footage leave the premises at all.
Nsightify monitors every camera, every frame, continuously — and you choose the deployment. With On-Premises (Zero Trust), no footage ever leaves your network. Either way, no manual oversight required.
Capabilities
Continuous Monitoring. Instant Alerts. Full Audit Trail.
PPE Compliance Monitoring
Nsightify identifies workers missing required equipment — hard hats, safety vests, gloves, goggles — the moment a violation occurs. Configure different PPE rules by zone so a loading dock, a machine floor, and a visitor corridor each enforce their own requirements. One platform, multiple policies.
Hazard-Zone & Exclusion-Zone Enforcement
Define exclusion zones around active machinery, construction hazards, or high-risk areas. Nsightify alerts you the moment someone enters a zone they shouldn't — before an incident happens, not after.
Forklift–Pedestrian Proximity Detection
Detect when a pedestrian comes dangerously close to an active forklift — turning near-misses from close calls into prevented incidents. Coverage runs across every camera, every shift, without a spotter.
Blocked Exit & Egress-Path Detection
Catch when an emergency exit or evacuation route is obstructed by equipment, pallets, or vehicles. Get alerted in real time so obstructions are cleared before they become a safety violation — or worse.
Commotion & Altercation Detection
Identify sudden, erratic, multi-directional movement that signals a fight, panic, or crowd incident. Alert the right people immediately so the situation is addressed before it escalates.
Audit-Ready Compliance Records
Every detected violation is logged with a timestamp, zone identifier, and violation type. Access clean compliance reports without pulling footage manually. Your records are always ready.
Alerts That Reach the Right People
Violations are surfaced immediately — via dashboard, local notification, or integrated alert. Configurable by zone, violation type, and personnel. The right person knows the moment something goes wrong.
How it works
From Camera to Compliance
Connect
Point Nsightify at your existing IP cameras. Supports any RTSP-compatible device. No camera replacement.
Configure
Define your monitoring zones and the safety conditions to enforce — PPE requirements, hazard zones, exit paths, forklift areas. Set different rules for each zone.
Monitor
Nsightify analyzes every frame and delivers real-time violation alerts and compliance logs — continuously. Run it in our cloud, or fully on-premises with no cloud dependency.
How it fits together
From Camera to Compliance
You keep your cameras. The only extra piece is the Nsightify Edge Bridge — and only when your cameras can't reach the internet directly.
Your existing cameras
Any RTSP / IP / CCTV. No replacement.
Nsightify Edge Bridge
A pre-configured mini-PC — only if your cameras can't reach the internet.
Nsightify Cloud
Fully managed. We run the AI for you.
Your own server(s)
Zero-Trust, on-premises. Video never leaves your network.
Real-time alerts & dashboard
Instant notifications and a live operations view.
Logs & compliance
Event logs, compliance records, integrations.

Industries
Continuous Monitoring for Every Kind of Floor
Construction
Job sites are high-risk, high-movement environments with shifting headcounts and changing hazard conditions. Nsightify monitors every active zone — across an entire site, in real time.
Manufacturing
Production floors operate around heavy machinery, chemical exposure, and strict safety protocols. Nsightify enforces compliance continuously without interrupting production.
Warehousing & Logistics
Forklift traffic, loading docks, and high-density worker zones require constant coverage. Nsightify keeps every corner of your operation monitored — at scale.
Energy & Utilities
High-consequence environments where PPE is non-negotiable. Nsightify enforces compliance at every monitored zone without manual oversight.
FAQ
Physical Safety Monitoring FAQ
Do I need to buy new cameras?
No. Nsightify works with the RTSP-compatible IP and CCTV cameras you already have — you never replace them, and there is no rewiring.
Do I need any hardware besides my cameras?
You keep your cameras. With Nsightify Cloud, the only possible addition is a small Edge Bridge (software on a regular PC on your network) — and only if your cameras can’t reach the internet directly. With On-Premises (Zero Trust), you provide one or more servers where Nsightify runs locally so video stays on your network.
Does my footage leave my network?
It depends on your deployment. With Nsightify Cloud, video is streamed to the cloud for analysis. With On-Premises (Zero Trust), video never leaves your network — only lightweight metadata such as event descriptions, timestamps, and zone identifiers is transmitted.
Which PPE types can Nsightify detect?
Common equipment including hard hats, safety vests, gloves, and goggles, configurable by zone so each area enforces its own requirements.
How quickly can we go live?
Most deployments are configured and delivering alerts within a day. There is no months-long implementation.
Beyond PPE, what else can Physical Safety detect?
Physical Safety monitors five categories of risk: PPE compliance (hard hats, vests, gloves, goggles), hazard-zone and exclusion-zone breaches, forklift–pedestrian proximity (near-misses), blocked exits and egress paths, and commotion or altercation events. Each runs continuously across every camera.
Can Nsightify detect forklift near-misses?
Yes. Forklift–pedestrian proximity detection alerts you the moment a pedestrian comes dangerously close to an active forklift, so near-misses become prevented incidents instead of close calls.
