Would you trust an AI-monitored security unit to protect your property over human security guards?
ImageDeep has launched Houndlight, a solar-powered, 4G-connected AI security unit designed for off-grid site monitoring. The system autonomously identifies people and vehicles to deter trespassers through integrated beacons, sirens, and voice warnings.
Why it matters
This device addresses security gaps in remote or unstaffed infrastructure where mains power and wired internet are unavailable. By automating site protection via on-device detection, it aims to reduce theft and unauthorized access in construction and similar environments.
The Houndlight unit leverages 3 computer vision patents to perform on-device identification of humans and vehicles. The system functions independently of wired infrastructure by utilizing onboard solar power, battery storage, and 4G connectivity.
The players
ImageDeep
An AI firm based in Dublin and Hong Kong that develops computer vision security systems for construction and infrastructure clients.
Gammon Construction
A construction engineering firm that utilizes ImageDeep's artificial intelligence systems for site management and security.
PERI Group
A provider of formwork and scaffolding systems that integrates ImageDeep's monitoring technology into its projects.
The details
Houndlight employs on-device AI algorithms—a method of processing data locally on the hardware rather than in the cloud—to perform real-time detection of site intruders. The unit is designed for portability and can be mounted on existing poles, walls, or temporary posts. Upon identifying an authorized or unauthorized subject, the device initiates active countermeasures, including light beacons, sirens, and audio-based warnings.
Timeline
October 28, 2026: ImageDeep officially launched the Houndlight security unit.
The Tech Race
ImageDeep enters a competitive sector for remote site monitoring where firms increasingly prioritize autonomous, battery-backed detection systems. Its entry challenges existing hardware providers by optimizing for sites that lack standard utility access.
The device is currently available for construction and industrial operators in the US, Canada, the EU, the UK, Southeast Asia, and Australia. ImageDeep is now actively seeking third-party distribution partners to scale access to the technology for remote or unstaffed facility managers.
The takeaway
The Houndlight unit represents a shift toward self-contained, intelligent security for edge locations. Potential users should monitor ImageDeep's future distribution announcements to determine regional product availability and partnership opportunities.
