What you need before a pilot
- Cameras that already record and can export video to a file.
- 3–5 views covering the zones where your highest-risk work happens.
- Someone who can export footage on an agreed schedule.
Four steps, forty-five days
| Step | What happens | Who does it |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Choose views | Pick 3–5 existing camera views covering your highest-risk zones. | You, with us on a call |
| 2. Export and upload | Batch upload one-hour video segments to the secure platform on a schedule that suits your team. | You |
| 3. Analysis | Footage is processed and safety exposures are flagged with timestamps and frames. | Clearbound |
| 4. Reporting | Weekly exposure summaries during the pilot, then a findings report at day 45. | Clearbound |
Why a pilot does not use a live feed
Opening a live camera feed to an outside system is the step that turns a safety evaluation into an IT project. It needs network access, a security review, and usually a procurement cycle before anyone has seen a single result.
Batch upload removes all of that from the evaluation. You export footage you already have, and you find out what the system detects in your facility before committing to any integration work.
Which camera systems work
Clearbound works from exported video rather than from a camera vendor’s API, so the question is whether your system can produce a video file, not which brand is on the housing. Systems our FAQ already covers include Verkada, Rhombus, Avigilon and generic IP cameras.
- Fixed cameras with a consistent view work best, because a stable frame makes zones meaningful.
- Views that cover a floor area are more useful than views pointed at a doorway or a wall.
- Footage quality matters more than resolution — an obstructed or badly lit view limits what any system can detect.
The realistic internal effort
The work on your side is the export. How long that takes depends on your camera system and how much footage you send, not on anything Clearbound installs.
- No IT integration work, so no ticket in your IT team’s queue.
- No procurement of hardware, so no capital request.
- One person exporting footage on an agreed cadence.
