ElectricEye vs. Protex AI
Protex AI turns existing CCTV into safety and operations intelligence, using an edge appliance on the site's camera network. ElectricEye is cloud-only and covers both workplace safety and after-hours security on the same cameras.
Based on public information, last checked October 2026. Sources listed below.
| At a glance | ElectricEye | Protex AI |
|---|---|---|
| Primary focus | Workplace safety by day and security by night on the same cameras | Safety and operations (site intelligence) |
| After-hours security (theft, intrusion) | Yes: intrusion, loitering, trailer tampering, theft behavior, with talk-downs, sirens and strobes | Not advertised on its website (checked October 2026) |
| Cameras | Existing IP cameras with a streaming API or RTSP, including Axis, and VMS platforms like Eagle Eye Networks | Existing CCTV, no camera replacement |
| On-site hardware | None. 100% cloud, no on-site servers | An edge compute appliance connected to the local camera network |
| Safety detections advertised | Forklift and pedestrian near-misses, PPE, restricted areas, unsafe behavior | Vehicle control (forklifts, AGVs), PPE, ergonomics, area control, housekeeping, process compliance |
| Pricing | Published: from $5 per camera per month, or pooled event-based pricing | Not published |
| Privacy | Processes short event clips; video storage stays in your VMS | Edge-first; only metadata and an anonymized 10-second clip go to the cloud; blurring and videoless modes |
Where Protex AI is strong
- Privacy-first edge design, with several anonymization modes and ISO 27001 certification.
- Housekeeping and process-compliance detections alongside vehicle and PPE safety.

- Published starting price of $5 per camera per month.
- Native integration with Eagle Eye Networks.
