viAct is an AI video analytics platform for construction and industrial sites. It works on site cameras and other devices to detect safety risks such as missing PPE, people in danger zones, unsafe work at height and crane hazards, and adds dashboards for site progress. It is sold through demos, and alerts need a safety team to act on them.

## What is viAct?

viAct is an AI video analytics platform for construction and industrial sites, based in Hong Kong. It analyses feeds from site cameras and other devices, including wearables and drones, to detect safety risks and track site activity, and shows results on dashboards and alerts.

## How do contractors use viAct?

- **Safety monitoring** for PPE, danger zones, work at height, cranes and scaffolding
- **Alerts** to supervisors when a risk is detected
- **Dashboards** for site activity and progress

## What should you check before using it?

1. **Workers' data.** Footage is personal data. Read [the DPDP Act and AI in AEC firms](/insights/dpdp-act-ai-aec-firms) and plan notices and retention.
2. **Data terms.** Ask whether your footage is used to train viAct's AI.
3. **Response.** Agree who acts on alerts, and how quickly.
