Fire and smoke detection cameras for UK sites, from your CCTV
CamAI safety alerts watch the IP cameras already on UK sites for smoke, fire and people where they should not be, and send a short clip to the person on duty.

Four safety alerts, switched on per camera.
01
Fire & smoke
Spots flame and smoke in the camera view and alerts your team with the clip.
02
Intrusion & after-hours entry
Draw a line or an area. Get an alert when someone crosses it during the hours you set.
03
Restricted zones
Mark the areas only authorised staff should enter, on each camera, for the hours that matter.
04
Suspicious behaviour
Flags loitering and unusual time spent near high-value shelves or doors.
Your video stays at your site
Usually analysed on a server at your premises. Camera video stays in the UK. CamAI does not identify anyone.

How the pilot worksSafety alerts for UK businesses
Plenty of UK premises have long quiet periods when the cameras keep recording but nobody is looking.
How UK sites use safety alerts
Plenty of UK premises have long quiet periods when the cameras keep recording but nobody is looking. Safety alerts are built for those hours, and for the corners of a busy site that no one has time to watch.
Who asks for them
Warehouse and factory managers worried about a fire starting overnight. Restaurant owners whose kitchens sit empty between close and the early prep shift. Shopping centre and entertainment centre teams with back corridors, stores and plant rooms. And anyone who wants to know when a fenced yard or stockroom is entered outside working hours, without paying someone to stare at screens.
What is checked
Smoke and flames in view of a camera; people entering a restricted zone you draw on the image; anyone on site after the hours you set; and people loitering or behaving suspiciously near doors, stock or equipment. Each alert arrives with a short clip, so whoever receives it can decide quickly whether to act, call someone or simply carry on.
Run on site, set up by our UK team
The rules run on a CamAI server at your premises, so the footage is analysed where it is recorded and does not need to go to the cloud. Our UK team draws the zones with you, sets the schedules and tunes each rule during the pilot, so that the alerts you get match how your site actually runs day and night.
Alongside what you already have
CamAI does not replace your alarm system, your guards or your recorder. It adds an extra pair of eyes on the cameras you already own and passes on what it sees by app notification, WhatsApp, SMS, email or Telegram. Your existing procedures stay in charge; CamAI simply makes sure the right person sees the moment it starts.
A closed kitchen overnight
You run a restaurant kitchen in the UK that shuts late and opens early for prep. Nobody is in the building for several hours. You want a WhatsApp alert with a clip to reach the owner and the head chef if smoke shows up on the kitchen camera while the premises are empty.
A factory yard after hours
A factory manager wants to know when anyone walks into the delivery yard or the raw materials store after the last shift has left. The alert, with the clip, should go to the on-call supervisor, and the next morning the site lead should get a short summary of anything that happened.
A service corridor at weekends
An entertainment centre team wants an alert when someone lingers by a fire exit or plant room door outside opening hours. Security staff should receive the clip on the mobile app so they can check the camera and decide whether to walk over, without watching that corridor all night.
Safety alert questions from the UK
Does CamAI replace our fire alarm or intruder alarm?
No. CamAI works alongside your existing alarms and security staff. It adds camera-based alerts for smoke, flames, restricted zones and after-hours entry, each with a clip, so your team gets a visual check on top of the systems you already rely on. Your current procedures and contacts stay as they are.
Can alerts be limited to certain hours?
Yes. Each rule can follow its own schedule. Many UK sites run intrusion and after-hours rules only when the premises are closed, and keep smoke and fire rules switched on around the clock. Our UK team sets the schedules with you and adjusts them when opening hours change, for example over bank holidays.
Who gets the alert at night?
Whoever you choose. Alerts can go by app notification, WhatsApp, SMS, email or Telegram, to one person or to a group, and different rules can go to different people. Every alert carries the camera name, the time and a short clip, so the person on call can see what is happening at once.
Do our cameras need to be special?
No. CamAI works with IP cameras that stream over RTSP or ONVIF. For smoke and intrusion the view matters most, so during the site visit our UK team checks that the key areas are covered, such as stores, yards and exits, and suggests any changes to angles that would help.
Does the footage leave our premises?
Usually not. CamAI typically runs on a server at your site, so the video is analysed there, in the building where it is recorded. The alert and its short clip are what reach your staff, through the channels you have picked. The full recordings stay on your recorder as they do today.
How do we try safety alerts?
Book a site visit with our UK team. We then run a pilot on a few of your own cameras so you can see real alerts, at real hours, before you decide anything. A written proposal, quoted per site, follows the pilot and sets out the scope, the timeline and the cost.
