Safety Gear Detection
Detects whether workers are wearing the required safety gear — hard hats, hi-vis vests, safety goggles, gloves, and other PPE — from IP cameras. It first detects each person in view, then checks for the presence or absence of each required item, alerting supervisors in real time when someone enters a zone without the necessary equipment. Detecting finer distinctions — such as a specific hard-hat or jacket colour to denote role or department — is supported as a customisation that requires additional model training.
Key Features
Discover the powerful capabilities that make Safety Gear Detection stand out
Per-person PPE check — detects each figure, then verifies required gear
Hard hat detection — present or absent
Hi-vis vest detection
Safety goggles and face shield detection
Gloves and safety footwear detection where visible
Colour- or type-specific gear distinction (e.g. helmet colour by role) — available as a custom-trained option
Zone-based compliance — different PPE requirements per area
Real-time alert to supervisor when gear is missing
Compliance log per shift and zone for safety reporting
Edge deployment for continuous shop floor monitoring

Prerequisites & Limitations
What Safety Gear Detection needs to run reliably, and the operating limits to plan for.
Prerequisites
- Camera: 2MP+ IP/RTSP covering the work zone or access point where PPE is required
- Adequate illumination — pair with an IR illuminator for low-light areas
- Stable bandwidth between camera and edge/server — roughly 4–8 Mbps per 2MP H.264/H.265 stream
- Mounting so each worker's head and upper body are clearly visible to check helmets, vests, and goggles
- Stable power and network at the deployment point
Operating Limits
Indicative figures — actual limits depend on hardware, scene, and configuration.
Deployment Models
