The product

What SquintPRO is

SquintPRO is an Interkey product, available today

SquintPRO is Interkey’s computer-vision platform for analysing CCTV streams, detecting operational events and generating alerts, evidence and operational KPIs. Interkey owns the product, builds it, and deploys and operates it on Saudi sites, so the software roadmap and the site engineering sit with the same company. The product was previously called Insight AI; the current name is SquintPRO. Its product site is squintpro.ai. This page is about applying it in the Kingdom: the problems it is bought to solve, what it does, how it deploys, and how to evaluate it.

The starting point

The operating problem

A large industrial site in the Kingdom typically has hundreds of cameras and a control room with a handful of screens. The footage is recorded diligently and watched almost never. When something goes wrong, it is reviewed afterwards. The cameras function as an archive rather than as a monitoring system.

Computer vision changes what that estate is for. Instead of a person watching for an event that may not happen, software watches continuously and raises an alert when a defined condition occurs: someone entering an area without the required protective equipment, a vehicle where vehicles should not be, a queue past a threshold, a piece of equipment in a state it should not be in.

The practical constraint is that this has to work on the cameras the organisation already owns. A proposal that begins by replacing a functioning CCTV estate is usually a proposal that does not proceed. SquintPRO adds the analytics layer to existing CCTV streams: compatible cameras stay where they are, and the estate starts producing events, evidence and numbers instead of only recordings.

Capabilities

What the platform does

Four groups of capability, in the order a site tends to use them: detect something, get someone to act on it, find it again afterwards, and turn the whole stream of events into numbers a manager can run a site by.

Detection you configure

Detection categories are configured rather than coded: a site defines the conditions that matter to it, the zones they apply in, and the rules around them, through the interface. Custom detections can be built for cases specific to a site, and fine-tuned against samples from its own cameras. What is supported still depends on what is visible to the camera and what the model can be trained on, which the site survey establishes rather than assumes.

Real-time alerts and incident handling

A detection raises a notification in real time and opens an incident record with the video evidence attached, so the event can be reviewed, assigned and closed rather than only noticed. Alerts are routed into the tools the site already runs, which is what keeps them from being ignored.

Multi-camera analysis and search

Analytics run across many camera streams at once, including analysis that follows subjects across cameras rather than treating each view in isolation. Past events can be found by describing them in text or by supplying an image, which turns an archive that was only ever searched by timestamp into something an investigator can actually query.

Metrics, KPIs and reporting

Detections accumulate into automated metrics and KPIs on customisable dashboards, with reports that can be shaped to how the site already reports. This is the part that outlasts the initial deployment: a continuous record of conditions by zone, shift and area rather than a monthly anecdote.

Detection categories Zones and rules Alert routing Dashboards Reports

On the 96.7% figure.

SquintPRO’s material states 96.7% object detection accuracy. That figure comes from the product’s own reference conditions and is not a guarantee for your site. Detection accuracy in computer vision is highly dependent on conditions: camera placement and resolution, lighting, weather, dust, glare, viewing angle, and how closely the objects on your site resemble those the model was trained on. A site in the Eastern Province in summer is not a benchmark dataset. Any organisation evaluating this or a competing system should run a pilot on its own cameras, in its own conditions, and measure both false positives and missed detections before committing. Interkey would rather scope that pilot than quote the number at you.

Applications

Where it is applied

The centre of gravity is industrial safety: the sectors these deployments run in are oil and gas, ports and logistics, industrial manufacturing and utility networks, which closely matches the client base Interkey already works with across government, energy and logistics. The same platform also serves operations, inspection and crowd monitoring where a site already runs cameras, but safety is where the case is strongest and where Interkey focuses.

HSSE monitoring

The most common starting point. PPE compliance covers hardhats, high-visibility clothing, gloves, eye protection, safety footwear and harnesses where working at height applies. Alongside it sit the situational cases: restricted and no-go zones, line-of-fire exposure, workers close to moving equipment, work under a suspended load, and the unsafe acts a site already logs by hand, such as a person falling, lying on the ground, or a safety control bypassed.

Inspection and process monitoring

Visual checks currently done on a schedule by a person walking a route: equipment and infrastructure condition, production-line observation, object counting, and detecting when a line stops or a pattern changes. Continuous observation catches what a weekly walk-round misses, and automated visual inspection can apply a site’s own criteria to what passes and what does not.

Occupancy and movement

Headcount, density and occupancy against defined thresholds, pedestrian flow and congestion, and abnormal movement such as counter-flow or sudden dispersal. In an industrial setting this is zone occupancy and muster reporting; in a public venue it is the same capability applied to crowd management.

From camera to response

How a detection reaches your safety team

The technology only matters if the last stage works. Everything in this pipeline is configured around how the site already responds to safety events, because a detection that lands in a screen nobody owns is a detection that did not happen.

  1. Existing cameras

    The CCTV estate the site already owns, surveyed for which views are usable

  2. Video analytics

    SquintPRO detection on GPU, processed in-Kingdom, on-premise where footage must not leave the site

  3. Safety event

    A defined condition: missing PPE, entry into a restricted zone, unsafe proximity to moving equipment

  4. Alert and evidence

    Delivered into the site’s existing VMS and incident workflow, with the video record attached

  5. HSE response

    A supervisor acts, and the event becomes a record the safety system can count

Interkey builds and tunes every stage of this pipeline on site. The alert stage is deliberately not a new dashboard: detections are routed into the VMS and incident workflow the site already runs.

Deployment

How it is deployed

The analytics layer attaches to the camera streams that already exist. Where it runs is a decision about data control and scale, and all three shapes are supported.

01

On-premise

Analytics run on hardware inside the site network, which is what sites choose when footage must not leave the perimeter at all. Capacity is sized by the number of camera streams under analysis, and scales by adding GPU capacity rather than by re-architecting.

02

Cloud

Central operation across multiple sites, with capacity that follows demand rather than being provisioned per location. This is the sensible shape for organisations running many small sites, or where a central operations team owns the monitoring.

03

Hybrid

Processing local to each site where the video is sensitive, with detection records, dashboards and reporting centralised. The split is decided per data class rather than per site, which is usually what a group-level HSE function actually needs.

04

In-Kingdom throughout

Every one of the above can be kept inside Saudi Arabia. For operators whose video cannot leave the country, or cannot leave the site, that is a deployment choice rather than a special arrangement.

Delivery

What Interkey does on the ground

SquintPRO is the platform; this is the work that makes it perform on a real site. All of it happens in the Kingdom, with your HSE team in the loop from the survey onwards.

01

Site survey and camera assessment

Working out which of the existing cameras are actually usable for analytics. Camera placement chosen for human review is often wrong for automated detection: angles too high, resolution too low at the distance that matters, or a view into direct sun for part of the day. This assessment sets realistic expectations before anything is promised.

02

Detection configuration

Turning a site’s safety rules into configured detections: which conditions, in which zones, at which thresholds, and what counts as a violation rather than a normal working state. Where a case is specific to the site, a custom detection is built and fine-tuned against footage from its own cameras.

03

Integration with existing systems

Detections are only useful if they reach someone who can act. That means integrating with the VMS already in place and with whatever the site uses for alerting and incident management, so an alert appears in an existing workflow rather than in a new screen nobody has been assigned to watch.

04

Tuning and operation

The period after go-live matters more than the deployment. An analytics system that generates too many false alerts gets ignored within weeks, and an ignored system is worse than none because it creates a false sense of coverage. Threshold tuning against real site conditions is part of the work, not an afterthought.

Data stays put

What in-Kingdom processing actually means

Industrial video is sensitive twice over: it shows the site, and it shows the people on it. It helps to be precise about what a deployment actually produces, because three different things are casually called “the data”: the raw camera stream, the model’s inference output, and the detection record (a timestamp, a camera, a zone, an event class). Each can be held to a different rule, and the architecture should say which lives where.

Deployments can run entirely in-Kingdom, including fully on-premise where footage must never leave the site network. Worker privacy is handled as a design input, not an afterthought: what is retained and for how long, who can see it, how the workforce and contractors are informed, and where masking is applied. Interkey sets those controls with the site’s HSE and legal owners before go-live, and the record-keeping rules follow the site’s own policies rather than a vendor default.

For the safety team

What this does to your safety numbers

Safety teams run on observations: unsafe acts and unsafe conditions logged, investigated and counted into leading indicators. The practical weakness of that system is coverage, because a supervisor sees a fraction of a shift, and behaviour changes when the supervisor is present. Continuous detection changes the volume and the honesty of that data: PPE non-compliance, zone breaches and proximity events get recorded whether or not anyone was watching, at 3pm and at 3am alike.

The output is deliberately shaped like the records an HSE system already keeps, so detections can feed the observation and incident process the site already runs rather than a parallel one. What that produces over time is a leading-indicator dataset large enough to manage by: which zones, which shifts, which contractors, which conditions, rather than a monthly anecdote.

Quick answers

The two questions every site asks first

Common question

Can this run on the cameras we already have?

Usually, for most of the estate. Analytics places different demands on a camera than human review: resolution at the distance that matters, angle, lighting, and a view that is not into the sun for half the day. The site survey establishes which cameras are usable as-is, which need adjusting, and which views genuinely need a new camera, before anything is promised.

Common question

What happens when a violation is detected?

An alert goes to whoever the site decides should act: the control room, the area supervisor, the HSE duty phone, inside the tools the site already uses. The event is also stored as an incident record with the video evidence attached, timestamp, camera, zone, event type, so it can be investigated and counted, not just reacted to. Designing that routing is part of the deployment, and it is where most of the operational value lives.

Getting started

Starting with a pilot

The sensible entry point is a single site, a defined set of cameras and one or two detection cases with a measurable outcome. That produces a number for detection performance under your own conditions, which is the only figure that should drive a wider rollout decision, including in preference to the reference figure above.

Saudi industrial conditions are part of the test, deliberately: dust on camera domes, midday glare and heat haze, and the realities of a working site are exactly what a pilot should expose. Interkey has written up how to scope a pilot that proves something, including the success criteria worth insisting on with any vendor.

Why Interkey

The engineering behind it

SquintPRO is Interkey’s own product, which changes what a customer is buying. A detection that does not work on your cameras is a product question and a delivery question at the same time, and both sit with the same company: there is no vendor to escalate to and no roadmap that belongs to someone else.

Interkey has operated in Saudi enterprise technology since 1999, working across the government, energy, telecommunications and logistics organisations named on its client page, and computer vision sits inside that engineering practice rather than apart from it. The honest boundary: that history evidences the company relationships and the delivery capability, and per-site SquintPRO references are shared in conversation, with the client’s permission, rather than printed here.

The deployment work also rarely travels alone. Wiring detections into a permit or incident system is systems integration work, and deciding where inference runs on site is an infrastructure and platform question: both are practices Interkey runs in-house, which is what makes the last stage of the pipeline, the part where an alert becomes a response, an engineering deliverable rather than a hope.
