viAct Review 2026: Scenario-Based Video AI Safety Monitoring on Existing CCTV

Updated October 13, 2026 – Tested Intelligence

Quick verdict: viAct turns the CCTV cameras already on your sites into a safety monitoring system: pick from more than 200 pre-built AI modules in its viHUB platform, connect your cameras, and get real-time alerts for missing PPE, danger-zone intrusions, confined-space breaches and other unsafe acts. It is cross-industry, with construction as a primary vertical, and the vendor told Capterra’s 2026 construction report it is deployed on 400+ construction sites. Vendor pricing is not published – it is quoted per project.

What it is

viAct is a Hong Kong-based workplace safety platform built around scenario-based video intelligence. Instead of one generic detector, it sells detection as modules: each module watches for a specific situation – a worker without a hard hat, someone entering a restricted zone, a harness missing at height – and raises an alert when it sees it. The modules run on feeds from your existing CCTV or IP cameras, connected over RTSP, so there is no camera replacement programme to fund first.

Everything lands in viHUB, a central dashboard where safety teams review alerts, compare sites and pull daily to monthly compliance reports. Around the video core sit a digitised permit-to-work system, tool-tracking, and edge hardware (the portable viMOV unit and viMAC devices) for areas with weak connectivity, where detection can run locally instead of in the cloud. A generative-AI assistant, viGENT, can turn footage into incident reports and answer plain-language questions about what the cameras recorded. Deployment can be cloud, on-premise or hybrid, which matters for firms that will not send site video off-site.

Key features

• 200+ pre-built AI modules in viHUB: PPE, unsafe behaviour, ergonomics, environmental hazards, near-misses
• PPE detection head to toe: helmets, hi-vis, gloves, goggles, masks, boots, harnesses and lanyards
• Danger-zone and restricted-area access control, confined-space monitoring, work-at-height checks, fire and smoke detection
• Works with existing CCTV/IP cameras via RTSP – no new camera hardware required
• Real-time alerts by site speaker, SMS, WhatsApp and email, plus site scorecards and trend reports
• Cloud, on-premise and hybrid deployment; edge devices for low-connectivity areas; face blurring for privacy

Pricing

Pricing is not public on the vendor’s site. viAct quotes per project based on the number of cameras, which AI modules you switch on, site size and the deployment model. Directory listings tell a partial story: Software Advice and Capterra list entry pricing from $1,000 per year per feature – treat those as directory-sourced and to-verify, because the vendor itself only offers a personalised quote. Budget for a sales conversation, not a checkout page.

Who it’s for

GCs, owners and HSE leads running multiple high-risk sites who already have camera coverage and want it watched continuously, not sampled by walk-rounds.

Who should skip it

Sites with little or no CCTV: the platform is only as good as the camera coverage and image quality feeding it. Small contractors wanting one simple tool at a published price will also find the modular, quote-based model heavier than they need.

Pros

• Runs on cameras you already own – the hardware bill is close to zero
• Module library is unusually deep, including confined space and work-at-height scenarios construction actually has
• Deployment flexibility (cloud, on-prem, hybrid, edge) suits privacy-sensitive and poorly connected sites
• Vendor-reported scale: 400+ construction sites, with incident-rate reductions shared with Capterra for its 2026 report

Cons

• No published pricing – directory figures are unverified and the real number needs a quote
• Detection quality depends on your existing cameras, angles and lighting
• Cross-industry platform, so construction is one vertical among several (oil and gas, mining, manufacturing, logistics)
• Impact figures are vendor-reported, not independently audited

FAQ

Does viAct need new cameras?

No. It connects to existing CCTV and IP cameras over RTSP. Portable edge units are available for areas cameras do not cover or where connectivity is poor.

How much does viAct cost?

The vendor does not publish pricing; quotes depend on cameras, modules, site size and deployment model. Directories list entry pricing from $1,000 per year per feature, unverified.

Is viAct construction-only?

No. Construction is a primary vertical, but the same platform is sold into oil and gas, mining, manufacturing and logistics.

Bottom line

viAct is the modular option in video-AI safety: a deep catalogue of scenario detectors running on cameras already on your sites. If your HSE team is drowning in manual inspections, it deserves a pilot – knowing the price only exists inside a quote.
