Surveily is an EU-native, edge-first alternative to Intenseye for industrial sites in Europe and the UK.Both spot missing PPE, vehicle-pedestrian conflicts and restricted-zone entries on cameras a plant already has, though Surveily adds no hardware and keeps detection in the EU on a server the customer owns. Intenseye is US-domiciled and sells its Sentinel hardware line.
Both platforms pick up the same hazards. What differs is what you end up buying and how far the system is allowed to go on its own.
Surveily is a software, running on the already installed cameras. It's compatible with around 95% standard models - even those working on sites with heavy vapor and dust pollution. You can buy a GPU server yourself at around 600 EUR per camera as a one-time reference, so the data is stored inside your own network.
Processing stays on servers inside your own network and raw footage is never stored. Anonymization is the standard. Our data labelling team resides in the EU and works only on anonymized material, under transfer terms your InfoSec agrees.
No one can be identified and no worker can be scored based on the footage Surveily uses. Anonymization and focus on safety is assured. Surveily never takes an automated action - your team receives alerts about hazards and decides whether to stop the line.
Intenseye offers a Hard Stop module that can halt machinery automatically. Any automated actions taken by a software may raise some concerns with the DPOs in Europe.

| Works without an internet connection | SurveilyYes - the on-premises deployment runs with no cloud dependency and no egress, and can be fully air-gapped. Updates are then delivered on an agreed schedule | IntenseyeCloud-connected platform |
| Data residency | SurveilyEU only, EU-domiciled vendor | IntenseyeUS-domiciled vendor; offices in New York, Berlin and Istanbul |
| Anonymisation | SurveilyBy default, before anything is stored, displayed or used for model improvement - face, head or full-body | IntenseyeBlurring available |
| Facial recognition, biometric ID, emotion recognition, worker scoring | SurveilyNone, in any configuration, on any market | IntenseyeNot offered as a product line; vendor states GDPR alignment |
| Automated action against a worker or machine | SurveilyNever - decision support only, human in the loop, response stays client-managed | Intenseye“Hard Stop” module can stop machinery automatically |
| Detection coverage | Surveily50+ rules in six families: PPE, area control, vehicles, behaviours, housekeeping, critical alerts (smoke, fire, man down) | Intenseye50+ detections across Safety, Operations and Quality Assurance lines |
| Rule tuning | SurveilyPer camera view, calibrated to your site | IntenseyeVendor-managed model tuning |
| Movement paths and heatmaps | SurveilyYes - path mapping, heatmaps and an interactive map on your site floor plan | IntenseyeYes - pathway analysis and heatmaps, in the Operations line |
| Multi-site management | SurveilySingle dashboard across all sites, comparable risk signal between them | IntenseyeCross-site benchmarking, in the Operations line |

European sites in heavy industry, chemicals and building materials, all running Surveily on the cameras they already had. No new hardware went in.
Surveily AI solutions have significantly supported our safety efforts - particularly in preventing near-miss incidents involving forklifts, maintaining order on vehicle routes and pedestrian pathways, and eliminating the use of mobile phones in restricted areas. The system provides us with real-time insight into on-site activities and enables quick response to potential hazards. It’s a tangible improvement in both operational visibility and our safety culture, which we highly value.
Piotr ŁukszaEHS Manager, Saint-Gobain Innovative MaterialsEmployee safety is our top priority - especially in the demanding environment of chemical manufacturing. Implementing Surveily’s systems significantly enhanced our oversight in critical areas. Their cutting-edge technology enables faster threat detection and real-time data analysis, resulting in a measurable improvement in workplace safety. We value Surveily’s professionalism and are proud to partner with them in building a work environment that meets the highest industry standards.
Radosław StudzińskiHSE Coordinator, Reckitt BenckiserWe gained significantly better visibility and control over our expansive industrial site. Their innovative monitoring technology allowed us to effectively track vehicle movement and reduce hazardous driver behavior - particularly regarding the use of personal protective equipment and adherence to speed limits. As a result, we’ve enhanced safety for everyone working on-site. We firmly believe that partnering with Surveily is an investment that delivers tangible safety benefits.

Surveily is EU-native and edge-first, and it picks up the same risks as Intenseye, from missing PPE to smoke and fire.
Your footage is processed in the EU. The system never acts on a worker or a machine by itself. Intenseye's Hard Stop module can stop a machine on its own.
Yes. The software runs on roughly 95% of existing digital camera infrastructure, so a site keeps its cameras. What changes is where processing happens, on a server you own rather than a vendor cloud, and which company is your Processor, under which law.
Detection runs on servers inside your own network, and raw video not attached to an event is never written to disk in any deployment model. On-premises, nothing leaves the site. In the hybrid models the only things crossing the boundary are anonymised event metadata and clips with faces already blurred.
The on-premises deployment can be fully air-gapped, with updates delivered on a schedule you agree. The material that keeps your models accurate, selected frames and short clips tied to your team's feedback, is anonymised before it moves, handled under terms your InfoSec agrees, and labelled by our own team inside the EU.
No, in any configuration and on any market. That means no facial recognition, no biometric identification, no emotion recognition, no worker scoring. De-identification is applied by default before anything is stored or displayed. A live feed naturally contains identifiable people before masking happens, which is why the masking sits in the architecture rather than in a policy document.
Surveily detects behaviours and conditions rather than identities, and never takes automated action against a worker, so a human stays in the loop for every response. You remain the Data Controller. Surveily is the Processor.
In the Netherlands and Germany that runs through the works council, the elected worker representatives who approve a system like this. The UK has no co-determination right, so sign-off usually sits with your DPO and, on a unionised site, employee representatives. The DPIA describes a system that keeps video inside your own network and retains no raw footage.
No, it feeds it. Those platforms record what somebody reports, so the data only exists once a person files something. Surveily adds continuous risk data from what the cameras already see, on top of Intelex, Cority, Enablon, EcoOnline and VelocityEHS.
Thirty minutes with an engineer. We show you the platform running on real de-identified footage from plants like yours, you tell us what your floor looks like, and you get a straight answer on what Surveily would pick up there. If deployment or the works council is the blocker, bring your IT and your DPO.
Only 30 minutes. No commitment required.
You remain the Data Controller. Surveily is the Processor. No biometrics, in any configuration.
