A company called Brivo has introduced an AI-powered video agent that can link with an existing camera system to detect what you want it to watch for.
Managers will no longer have to squint at a phone to manually review footage. Eeva can detect risks in real time before they turn into injuries or other events.
The AI scans camera feeds continuously and sends alerts — such as when workers aren’t wearing safety vests or hardhats.
That same capability can be told (in natural language) to alert owners to illegal dumping on a job site, or to other manner or ill-meaning intruders.
How to choose video camera technology
“Eeva is like an ideal employee working 24/7 all year round someone who’s reliable, diligent, takes action independently and is always on the job,” said Dean Drako, CEO of Brivo. “Eeva delivers sophisticated AI that is simple to use and camera agnostic, enabling business owners to solve critical security and business challenges using their existing cameras.”
No coding or AI expertise is needed, according to the company. The AI is “built in minutes and can distinguish context and spatial relationships."

Lee Kerry, head of technical services for Kings Secure Technologies, a security integration firm based in West Yorkshire, UK, used Eeva to create and deploy AI to combat cable theft at EV charging stations.
“Eeva’s AI can distinguish when a person or vehicle is present at the EV station from when a person is attempting to remove the cable from the protected zone. This is far more sophisticated, reliable, and easier to manage than traditional analytics,” Kerry said.
“The result is very significant cost savings for EV station owners, who have had to replace stolen or damaged cables, lost revenue due to downtime, and suffer reputational damage when charging bays are out of order. Eeva is a quantum leap over legacy analytics.”
Brivo is a cloud-native AI-driven physical security company with more than 2 million devices deployed across 100,000 locations in 80 countries. It’s headquartered in Austin, Texas, and Bethesda, Maryland.
The system works with the Brivo Eagle Eye VMS; no specialty cameras or additional hardware required. (Brivo recently merged with Eagle Eye Networks.)
