Forsight Integrates with Procore

Multiple different camera systems on your jobsites? No remote access to the cameras? Multiple credentials and forgotten passwords? Experiencing theft, arson, or safety incidents?

Forsight’s cloud-based security, safety, and remote management platform, utilizing AI and CCTV cameras, can detect safety risks, security threats, and productivity bottlenecks, in real-time. And now, with the Procore-Forsight integration, you can access all of Forsight’s features directly from the Procore dashboard without leaving the Procore app.

Features

Here are some key features of the Forsight platform:

Real-time camera streams

Monitor your construction site with Forsight’s real-time camera streams. By integrating existing cameras or installing new ones, you can easily monitor your jobsite from the Forsight dashboard.

AI-based notifications

Get notified of safety risks and security threats through Forsight’s AI-based notifications. Forsight detects safety risks and security threats such as motion detection, zone intrusion, and arson, to keep your jobsite secure.

Unlimited timelapses

Forsight offers unlimited timelapses, including multi-point PTZ timelapses, to save and review construction progress over time. This allows you to better manage your construction site and easily monitor progress.

Enterprise management solution

Forsight also offers enterprise management solutions that enable users to monitor multiple projects from a single dashboard. This feature saves you time and resources by managing all of your projects in one place.

Virtual no-go zones and geofencing

Virtual no-go zones and geofencing are advanced features offered by Forsight that can help construction site managers monitor and enforce safety and security policies on their sites. Virtual no-go zones are areas on the construction site that are off-limits to workers or equipment due to safety concerns. By creating virtual no-go zones in the Forsight platform, managers can receive alerts if a worker or piece of equipment enters the restricted area, which can help prevent accidents or injuries.
