A camera hoist gives construction teams complete oversight of every ride, improving safety, security and productivity across the site.
What is a camera hoist?
A camera hoist places a durable CCTV unit inside your construction hoist, giving you a live view of every trip. As workers and materials move between floors, the system records each moment and sends the footage directly into the SmartHoist platform.
Because the hoist camera integrates with SmartHoist, it becomes part of your vertical-logistics ecosystem. It’s not just another standalone CCTV device.
Why install a hoist camera?
A hoist camera gives you more than visibility: it protects your construction site from preventable issues. With every lift journey captured, you can trace missing tools or materials instantly, reducing theft and loss. The footage also strengthens safety and accountability by showing how operators and passengers behave inside the hoist, helping teams spot unsafe actions before they turn into incidents.
It also supports compliance. PPE use, tool belting and safe operating procedures become visible and verifiable on every trip, without interrupting the flow of work. A hoist camera gives your team clarity, proof and confidence, all in real time.
The Smart Hoist camera goes beyond ordinary CCTV
The SmartHoist camera combines video, wireless connectivity and real-time Smartsite integration. It does more than capture footage. It turns your camera hoist into an intelligent safety and productivity tool.
Operators and managers get instant visibility through the SmartHoist interface, with options for alerts, behaviour monitoring and secure storage for audits or incident reviews.

Boosting site productivity through smarter monitoring
Smarter visibility means smarter decisions. A camera hoist helps reveal delays, identify idle periods and improve coordination between hoists, floors and site logistics.
With more than 1,600 SmartHoist installations worldwide, adding camera support strengthens both security and operational performance. Every monitored trip contributes to clearer data, smoother traffic flow and better use of your vertical transport.
Camera placement and installation
Smartsite designed the SmartHoist camera for plug-and-play simplicity:
- Installed directly inside the hoist cabin
- Connects wirelessly, no rewiring or complicated setup
- Footage is available live or stored securely for audits
- Compatible with all major hoist models
The result: high-impact visibility without slowing down the build.
