Frequently Asked Questions

Explore how Unleash live assists organisations improve safety, efficiency, and asset performance using real-time video and Machine Learning AI. This FAQ covers everything from how the platform works to industries we serve, supported hardware, integration options, and our approach to ethical AI.

  • Unleash live uses real-time video and Machine Learning AI to monitor critical infrastructure and industrial machinery, detect risks and productivity of the asset, and support faster decision-making. We turn live imagery from drones, mobile devices, and fixed cameras into insights that help organisations reduce downtime, improve productivity, improve safety, and respond faster to issues and emergencies.

  • We work with assets across energy (renewables and utilities), transport, mining, oil & gas, emergency services, and public safety. From powerlines and substations, wind turbines, rail networks, to haul roads and remote sites, our platform is built for large, distributed networks.

  • Unleash live connects directly to your existing camera network, drones, mobile phones, CCTV, or machine vision, and streams live video to a central dashboard. Our AI models analyse the video in real time to detect faults, environmental risks, and damage. Insights are flagged instantly for operators and decision-makers.

  • The Unleash live engine is open to AI developers and is built with Modular Machine Learning building blocks, enabling a flexible and rapid approach to develop, label, publish, re-train, and fine-tune customer specific Computer Vision models. These blocks include Detectors, Trackers, Transformers, Analytics, Annotators, Formatters, Benchmarking, and Post Processors.

  • Unleash live has an extensive set of open API for authenticated developers. The latest release is here: https://developer.unleashlive.com/

  • Yes. Unleash live is hardware-agnostic. You can use your current drones and camera systems, and we’ll integrate with them to streamline your workflows. The full list of supported devices is here: https://unleashlive.com/devices

  • Autofly is our automated drone mission tool. It lets you plan and repeat drone flights with precision, reducing the need for manual piloting. This makes inspections safer, faster, and more scalable.

  • We develop Machine Learning AI, including computer vision models trained to detect faults, hazards, and anomalies in video and imagery. Our AI identifies issues such as vegetation encroachment, storm and fire damage, corrosion, cracks, and equipment degradation in real time. Models are built and tuned for specific industries and asset types, with human-in-the-loop options available for validation and feedback.

  • Our models are trained to detect a variety of issues with industrial assets including asset faults, corrosion, discoloration, missing parts, overheating, sparks, fire damage, storm impact, vegetation encroachment, and environmental risks. We also analyse transportation, employee/worker safety and crowds. We continuously improve these models in partnership with customers.

  • Unleash live is committed to ethical, responsible AI that protects privacy and builds public trust. We do not use facial recognition or identify individuals. Our platform never tracks people, instead, we use anonymous, aggregate detection to count people without following or identifying them. In the transport and public safety sectors, our AI can count people and measure heat density to assess crowd flow, station occupancy, or platform safety, without capturing personal data. These insights help operators manage congestion, improve service delivery, and respond to safety risks in real time. All applications are designed for clearly defined, non-intrusive purposes, and we work closely with customers to ensure AI is applied transparently and responsibly.

  • Yes. Our system provides instant notifications to field teams and control rooms based on what the AI sees in the video feed. This supports rapid decision-making during events such as natural disasters or asset failures.

  • Our customers include electricity distributors, wind and solar operators, mining companies, oil & gas, government transport agencies, emergency services, and large industrial asset owners.
