Core Service Offerings

A. Hardware

TrueAI

TrueAI is TrueLook’s proprietary artificial intelligence layer built directly into the platform, no third-party integration required. It transforms raw camera footage into actionable jobsite intelligence by automatically analyzing visual data in real time.

Current TrueAI capabilities include:

• PPE Detection: Automatically identifies whether workers on site are wearing required personal protective equipment, such as hard hats, vests, and other high-visibility gear, and flags non-compliance for safety managers.
• Object & Vehicle Recognition: Detects and classifies equipment, vehicles, and materials on site, enabling smarter motion filtering and reducing false security alerts.
• Smart Motion Classification: Distinguishes between relevant activity (people, vehicles) and irrelevant motion (wind, animals, lighting changes), dramatically reducing alert fatigue.

TrueAI is continuously updated and runs entirely within TrueLook’s platform, meaning customers benefit from new detections and improvements without hardware replacements.
