Seven situations your cameras already see, and an inspector finds once a year
In 2025 the French State inspected 279 warehouses in the Lyon region for fire risk: 80% had non-conformities. Most of them are visible on the cameras already installed.
The Camly AI blog
What a warehouse’s cameras already see, and how to turn it into evidence of prevention.
Compositing states with exact labels: training data without a single customer frame
To train a model to verify warehouse states, we paste the states into real footage, systematically, so every example comes with ground truth known by construction. Here is how, and what can go wrong.
StateWatch: a benchmark for persistent-state verification on fixed cameras
Existing vision-language benchmarks do not measure what a monitored camera needs: is a described state true in a zone, under clauses, with calibrated confidence. StateWatch will.
Why a 9B model can beat frontier APIs at verifying warehouse states
A small vision-language model will not out-describe Gemini or GPT on arbitrary images. It does not need to. On one narrow question, asked on fixed cameras, it can win where it matters.
"Ask your site": the history that answers, and the questions it refuses
Camly keeps every episode with its image, time and duration. You can question the site in plain language. Not the people: that is refused by design.
Why we do not do facial recognition, and why that is what makes the rest credible
Places and situations, never persons. The choice costs us use cases; it gives us a tool a works council can accept and a regulation can classify without ambiguity.
An episode, not an alarm: why Camly tracks states with a start, an end and a duration
An alarm says something is happening. An episode says since when, until when, and how many times this month. That is what turns a camera into evidence of prevention.
Sovereign, hybrid, cloud: where your images go, in one table
Camly's three editions differ on one thing only: where the images are analysed. The full table, and a decision guide for IT and the works council.
What an accident really costs a warehouse in 2026
The 2025 AT/MP cost scale, the warehousing accident figures and the contribution rate: what a lost-time accident costs, line by line, and why prevention does not sell on avoided accidents alone.
Cameras and the works council: what the CNIL allows, what the AI Act changes in 2026, what Camly refuses
A safety tool on existing cameras goes in front of the works council. Here is the CNIL framework, what the EU AI regulation requires since August 2026, and our design choices.
From camera finding to DUERP line: the monthly near-miss report, step by step
An episode seen by a camera has a zone, a state, a start, an end and a recurrence. A DUERP line has a hazard, a risk, an evaluation and an action. Here is how to get from one to the other.
The receiving wave: aisles blocked at six in the morning, and why it is a safety problem before it is an operations problem
Every morning the receiving area overflows into the aisles. Everyone knows it. What is missing is the evidence, the duration and the recurrence to turn it into an action.
Above the sprinkler line: the insurer's audit, one day a year versus every day
The property insurer audits four states your cameras see all the time: fire aisle, storage height, charging area, emergency exit. It sees them one day a year. You can see them every day.
Pallets against the wall: the fires that start outside, and the camera nobody gave a task to
Some warehouse fires start outside, in waste or pallets stored against the building. The façade camera has been watching it for days. It just needs to be asked the question.
Forklifts and pedestrians: measuring co-activity by zone, without watching people
About 8,300 lost-time accidents a year involving forklifts, around ten deaths, half by lateral tip-over. What cameras can count, and what they must not do.
The battery charging area: what a camera should check there
A faulty connector, cardboard against the charger, a rack too close. The charging area is one of the best-documented fire origins in a warehouse, and one of the easiest to watch.
Early departure at the dock: the deadliest logistics accident, and how to document the chock
A truck that pulls away while the forklift is still inside the trailer. Two causes, one device, and a dock camera that can prove, every day, that the chock is in place.
Viviez, 2024: the cause of the warehouse fire was on the site's own recordings
Investigators found the origin of a warehouse fire on the site's own cameras, fifteen months later. The cameras saw it; nobody was watching.
