Our watch. **CELEO** : the French lookout that secures construction sites and sensitive sites with an **autonomous presence** that detects, exposes and deters any intrusion before the risk becomes an incident. [Request a quote](https://celeosystem.fr/en/quote/) [Call us](tel:+33449392524) Designed and made in France - **360° thermal camera** Detection range of up to 200 m by day and by night, with up to four 360° dual-spectrum PTZ domes combining thermal and infrared sensors. - **AI-powered detection** Algorithmic analysis tells a person apart from an animal or the wind, to spot suspicious situations and prevent false alarms. - **Audible and visual deterrence** Dazzling LED strobe lights, a 130 dB siren and a remote live audio warning, with automatic target tracking. - **APSAD P5 remote monitoring** 24/7 alarm verification by an Alarm Receiving Centre approved by CNAPS, the French private security regulator, and certified APSAD P5, the highest French certification level recognised by insurers. The problem ## Watching has never stopped a theft. A standard camera records. An alarm goes off. A guard is sent out. Either way, the intrusion has already happened. The equipment is gone, the site is at a standstill, and insurance covers neither the delays nor the disruption. The same applies to every conventional solution: they record the intrusion, they do not prevent it. Between the moment the intruder climbs the fence and the moment someone reacts, the damage is done. That gap is exactly what we set out to eliminate. With **CELEO** solutions, we deter intruders before the intrusion happens. A different approach ## We don’t film the consequences. We stop them from happening. The whole market follows the same sequence. We changed one step, and that step changes everything. Conventional solutions Detect Verify Respond The event is recorded, then someone is sent to the site. **The incident has already happened.** vs CELEO solutions Detect Deter Alert We act on the intruder’s behaviour, within seconds. **The incident never happens.** [Request a quote](https://celeosystem.fr/en/quote/) What the intruder experiences ## He breaks in thinking he is alone. He gets onto your site. From that moment on, everything plays out in a few seconds. 1. **He is detected and automatically lit up.** The tower spots him and turns its light on him, with no human intervention. 2. **He is tracked. He realises he has been seen.** The beam follows him and a voice challenge rings out: in one second, he is no longer invisible. 3. **He panics and runs.** Stripped of the anonymity and darkness he needs, he gives up and leaves. **Deterrence grounded in neuroscience.** We don’t film an offence: we trigger a reflex. Stripped of anonymity and suddenly exposed, the intruder instinctively switches from intending to act to running away. It is this switch, not the footage, that protects your site. CELEO vs manned guarding ## Surveillance that never sleeps. For a fraction of the cost of manned guarding: continuous 24/7 vigilance, automatic detection by day and by night, immediate deterrence with instant alerts, and simultaneous monitoring of several zones.

[Request a quote](https://celeosystem.fr/en/quote/) The promise ## Three actions, one second. Every CELEO tower decides on its own. No connection to wait for, no operator to call on before deterrence kicks in. 01 ### Detect Thermal analysis and artificial intelligence. A human presence is identified up to 200 metres away, by night or by day, and told apart from an animal or a moving branch, to spot suspicious situations and avoid false alarms. 02 ### Deter Powerful lighting that automatically follows the intruder, a siren and a voice challenge. Within seconds he loses his anonymity and realises he has been seen. His goal changes: he no longer wants to act, he wants to get away. 03 ### Alert At the same time, an alert goes to you and to the monitoring centre of our approved partner, which carries out alarm verification and only dispatches a response when the situation genuinely calls for it. Our solution ## Autonomous from end to end. No line to connect, and self-powered if needed. A CELEO tower is set down and protecting your site within minutes. ### Energy autonomy Connected to the mains when the site layout allows, or self-powered by lithium batteries charged by solar panels. ### Decision autonomy Detection, analysis and deterrence are triggered on site, without waiting for an operator. ### Communication autonomy Built-in 4G link. Instant alerts on your smartphone and to the monitoring centre. [Request a quote](https://celeosystem.fr/en/quote/) Where we work ## Every site has its weak spots. A materials yard is not protected like a solar farm, nor an urban site like a remote quarry. We adapt the tower layout, detection zones and deterrence scenarios to every configuration.

[See all our sectors](https://celeosystem.fr/secteurs/) The proof ## An intrusion detected is not an intrusion prevented. See what really happens when someone approaches a site protected by a CELEO tower. Compliance ## Protect without breaking the rules. Video surveillance of a site is regulated. The perimeter of your site may be filmed; public roads and neighbouring properties may not. Together with you, we define the detection zones, the privacy masking required and the mandatory signage. Data is hosted on private servers in France, with limited retention periods and full access logging. If you are inspected, you have everything required: a processing register, information signs and mandatory notices. This is also what makes your footage usable by your insurer and by the authorities. ### Defined detection zones Areas that must not be filmed are masked, configured at installation. ### Register and signage We supply the information signs and mandatory notices. ### Data kept in France Private servers, limited retention, logged access.

[Request a quote](https://celeosystem.fr/en/quote/) Frequently asked questions ## What we are asked most often. ### Does the site need a power supply? No. The tower runs on a lithium battery with solar top-up. It is self-sufficient from the moment it is set down, even on bare land with no connection at all. ### What actually happens in the event of an intrusion? Thermal detection identifies a human presence and immediately triggers the lighting, automatic tracking and the voice challenge. At the same time, an alert goes to you and to the monitoring centre of our approved partner, which carries out alarm verification and decides whether a response is needed. ### Am I allowed to film my site? Yes, within the perimeter you are responsible for. Public roads and neighbouring properties must not be filmed. We configure the necessary masking at installation and supply the mandatory signage. If employees are likely to be filmed, they must be informed beforehand. ### How long does it take to be up and running? Once the quote is approved, a tower can be deployed quickly: we deliver, position and configure the equipment on site. The exact lead time depends on your site layout and on availability, and is confirmed during the site survey. ### How much does it cost? The rental is tailored to the actual duration of your operations, from a few weeks to several months, and to the site layout (number of towers, zones to cover, power autonomy required). The simplest option: request a quote, and we will reply within 24 hours with clear pricing and no obligation. ### Is CELEO a remote monitoring company? No. CELEO is a video-surveillance equipment rental company. Remote monitoring and alarm verification, which are regulated activities, are provided by a CNAPS-approved operator we work with. This separation is deliberate and gives you a clear legal framework. News ## Understand to protect better.
