Kooi Mobile Videoüberwachung

What Kooi Mobile Videoüberwachung does

Kooi Camera Surveillance, operating commercially as 247kooi and in Germany as Kooi Mobile Videoüberwachung, is a Netherlands-headquartered provider of temporary mobile video surveillance and early fire detection solutions for construction sites, infrastructure projects, renewable energy installations, and waste/logistics facilities across Europe. The company was founded in 2009 around an autonomously powered mobile camera unit (today branded UFO Pro) that captured its first intruder within a year of launch, and has since grown to 450+ employees, 7,000+ active camera systems, and a footprint covering 25 countries. The business is run as a subscription-rental service starting from a few hundred euros per month, sold through a direct field-sales motion supported by owned local offices in eight European jurisdictions.

The product platform is built around three interconnected offerings. The UFO Pro is a rapidly deployable mobile camera unit with autonomous power and 24-hour recording capability, marketed for minutes-fast installation on temporary sites. The RED Fixed line adds thermal monitoring for continuous fire prevention through temperature-rise detection, deployed in waste processing, recycling, EV charging, lithium-ion storage, and chemical industry locations. The 247kooi mobile application enables customers to view live feeds, schedule coverage, and receive alerts, while the Kooi Alarm Center operates 24/7 to triage events and dispatch response. All units and monitoring are bundled into a single monthly fee with no additional charges, and the company reports having secured 60,000+ sites, prevented 7,000 theft/damage incidents, and prevented 1,200+ fires over its history.

Kooi's customer base spans enterprise construction firms (Elecnor, CMS, Velocita, FCC, BAM, Intec), wind-energy operators (Nordex, Enercon, Vestas, GE Wind), solar developers (Greencells), waste managers (Alba, Renewi), and branded multi-site operators (McDonald's). Enterprise go-to-market is sales-led, with quote requests and personal consultations routed through country-specific websites localized in 11 languages. In 2024 the company acquired Addsecure Smart Surveillance GmbH (Video Guard) to deepen its German footprint and secured SBTi approval of climate targets aligned with net-zero by 2035, signalling its positioning for ESG-aware enterprise procurement. Leadership comprises founder-CEO Peter and COO Tsjalling, and the company remains privately held with no disclosed external investors.

Core offering

Kooi rents, deploys and remotely monitors mobile camera surveillance units (UFO Pro) and stationary thermal early fire detection cameras (RED Fixed) for temporary and remote sites such as construction sites, solar and wind farms, infrastructure projects, waste facilities and charging stations. Units are deployed on a monthly subscription rental basis starting from a few hundred euros per month, with 24/7 monitoring delivered by the Kooi Alarm Center and live remote access via the 247kooi mobile application.

Product overview

Kooi Camera Surveillance offers a unified mobile video security and early fire detection platform comprising three interconnected products: the UFO Pro mobile camera unit for temporary surveillance deployment, the RED Fixed thermal camera for stationary fire prevention monitoring, and the 247kooi mobile app for remote access and scheduling. All products are centrally monitored through the Kooi Alarm Center, a 24/7 professional monitoring service that provides real-time intervention when threats are detected. The UFO and RED systems connect to customer portals (UFO and RED respectively) for management, while the Alarm Center provides the human oversight layer that differentiates Kooi's active surveillance approach from passive camera systems.

Direct peers

• BauWatch: Netherlands-based provider of mobile video surveillance, intruder detection and alarm systems for construction sites and infrastructure projects. Closest direct competitor to Kooi, operating a similar rental-plus-monitoring model across Europe.
• Wireless CCTV Group: UK provider of rapid-deployment wireless CCTV towers and monitored surveillance for construction, events and infrastructure. Highly comparable product (mobile tower + remote monitoring) and customer base to Kooi.
• VPS Site Security: European specialist in temporary site security including CCTV towers, intruder detection and physical barriers for vacant and construction sites. Overlaps directly with Kooi's construction and infrastructure segments.
• Sitewatch (Site Watch): UK specialist in temporary and remote video surveillance for construction, demolition and vacant property sites. Comparable rental-based model with monitored CCTV units targeting the same end customers as Kooi.

Emerging players

• Eagle Eye Networks: Global cloud video surveillance provider with AI analytics and remote monitoring capabilities. Targets enterprise and multi-site customers with a subscription model, overlapping with Kooi's recurring-revenue and remote-monitoring positioning.
• Rhombus Systems: US cloud-based video surveillance and IoT platform with enterprise-focused managed monitoring services. Comparable recurring-revenue model and AI-driven remote monitoring story, though focused on permanent enterprise sites rather than temporary deployments.
• Verkada: US-based cloud-native video surveillance provider expanding into Europe with AI-enabled cameras and remote monitoring. Represents the emerging software-defined, AI-first approach that could pressure traditional mobile-CCTV players like Kooi.

Broad incumbents

• MOBOTIX AG: German manufacturer of IP video surveillance systems and thermal imaging cameras. Comparable technology stack (CCTV + thermal) but sells hardware rather than operating a full-service monitoring rental model like Kooi.
• Addsecure: Nordic secure connectivity and IoT solutions provider that previously owned the Video Guard business acquired by Kooi in 2024. Competes in connected alarms, video surveillance and smart site security across Europe.
• Securitas AB: Global security services giant offering guarding, mobile patrol and remote video monitoring. Competes with Kooi in mobile/remote guarding and can bundle surveillance into broader security contracts for enterprise customers.
