C5 Safety AI
Workplace safety, watched in real time

Catch the violation,
before the incident.

C5 Safety turns the IP cameras you already own into an always-on safety officer. PPE, falls, fire, restricted zones — flagged the moment they happen, with video evidence already attached.

The reality on every site

Cameras everywhere.
Eyes nowhere.

Most industrial cameras only record. They review the past, never the present. By the time a violation is found, the worker is gone, the moment has passed, and the report is one line that nobody can defend in an audit.

What it watches for

Nine categories of workplace risk, monitored continuously.

Twenty-seven specific hazards across nine categories. All included — no per-feature paywalls.

01

PPE compliance

Hard hat, safety vest, mask, gloves, goggles, boots, harness, face shield, ear protection, hairnet.

02

Fall & collapse

Worker collapses, slips, prolonged immobility — auto-escalated to emergency severity.

03

Fire & smoke

Early-stage fire and smoke detection on cameras facing high-risk areas.

04

Smoking & ignition

Lit cigarettes and open-flame events in no-smoking zones — critical for petrochem, food processing.

05

Restricted-zone access

Custom no-go areas, dwell-time breaches, overcrowding in confined spaces.

06

Lone-worker

Workers alone in high-risk zones without backup, beyond defined safe-duration thresholds.

07

Vehicle hazards

Pedestrian-vehicle proximity, vehicle in restricted zones, speeding within site bounds.

08

Behavioral

Running, improper lifting, repeat offenders, pattern alerts, site-wide spikes.

09

Worker re-identification

Track an individual across cameras to investigate incidents end-to-end — with face-blur on by default.

Why teams switch to C5 Safety

Three things the incumbents won't give you.

Honest pricing

One bundled price covers appliance, software, deployment, and first-year support — published in USD, not hidden behind "Contact Sales". No per-feature paywalls.

Self-hosted, by default

Runs in your data center, plant network, or private cloud. Camera frames never leave your infrastructure. No proprietary edge box. No vendor data exfiltration.

Deployed end-to-end

Bundled edge appliance, one-day on-site install, first-year support — we ship engineers, not logins. The site goes live before our team leaves.

How it works

Three steps. One day. Then it just works.

Step 01

Connect

Install the C5 Safety server (Linux/Windows/macOS), run the setup wizard, and let ONVIF auto-discovery find your cameras. No rewiring.

Step 02

Watch

Every camera is monitored continuously. Sub-500ms live preview in the browser, with detection overlays drawn from real-time inference.

Step 03

Act

Violations trigger instant alerts with snapshot, video clip, and webhook payload. Acknowledge, resolve, export — all from one dashboard.

From camera to control room

One pipeline, end-to-end.

From the IP cameras you already own to the dashboard your safety team monitors. Real-time detection, incident grouping, evidence capture, alert dispatch — one engineered pipeline, deployed by us.

Common questions, answered directly

The questions every safety lead asks first.

What does C5 Safety AI detect? +
9 categories across 27+ specific hazards: PPE compliance (hard hat, safety vest, mask, gloves, goggles, boots, harness, face shield, ear protection, hairnet), behavioral (falls, running, improper lifting, smoking), zone access control (restricted-zone intrusion, dwell time, overcrowding, lone worker), vehicle safety (pedestrian proximity, vehicle-in-zone, speeding), and environmental (fire/smoke, liquid spill, blocked exits).
How much does C5 Safety AI cost? +
C5 Safety deployments start in the low five figures per site, fully bundled. The Site tier includes a pre-configured edge appliance, annual software subscription, on-site deployment, and first-year support — up to 32 cameras. Enterprise multi-site engagements are custom-quoted. Every detection category is included in every tier.
Will it work on my existing CCTV cameras? +
Yes. Any RTSP-capable IP camera (Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Bosch, Uniview, generic ONVIF) and USB webcams. ONVIF auto-discovery finds them; DVR/NVR multi-channel scanning supported. No proprietary hardware required.
Is it self-hosted or cloud? +
Self-hosted by default. Runs in your data center, plant network, or private cloud. Camera frames never leave your infrastructure.
How is C5 Safety different from other workplace safety AI platforms? +
C5 differs from both cloud-first platforms and edge-appliance vendors on three dimensions: (1) Deployment model — runs on-site, on hardware we ship; camera frames never leave your network. (2) Bundling — every detection category is included in every tier, no per-feature paywalls. (3) End-to-end deployment — we ship a C5 engineer to your site for the install, configure, tune, and train. The site is live before our engineer leaves. Cloud-SaaS platforms ship a login.
What hardware does C5 Safety require? +
A single Linux/macOS/Windows server with a modern GPU (NVIDIA T4, RTX 3060, or better) handles 8–16 cameras at 30fps with full PPE + behavior + fire detection. CPU-only deployment is supported for smaller sites (1–4 cameras) at reduced framerate.
How long does deployment take? +
A single-site Starter deployment on existing CCTV is typically live in under 30 minutes: install the server, run the setup wizard, scan for cameras, assign sites, launch. Multi-site Enterprise rollouts with SSO/integrations typically complete in 2–4 weeks per site.
