Foreman / Durgapur
Try ForemanSparks in the weld bay are normal. Smoke in the paint store is not.
Durgapur grew up around steel, and its private industry still lives off it: fabrication and heavy engineering shops, forging and casting units, re-rollers and component makers serving the plants and the power belt around them. We watch the cameras you already own and tell you on Telegram, with a photo, when something needs you. Free 7-day trial on up to 32 cameras, no card.
01
Built for heavy engineering
A Durgapur fabrication shop is big, loud and full of heavy things: plate and structural steel in the yard, forgings and castings waiting for dispatch, cranes overhead and welding across the bay. Big compounds with valuable metal in the open are exactly where losses go unseen.
The cameras already cover the yard, bays and gate. We watch every feed continuously and tell you what we notice, with the photo that shows it.
- Software only, on the DVR and cameras you already own
- Covers yards, fabrication bays, stores and gates
- Telegram alerts with a photo, and a voice call for urgent events
- Built for glare, sparks, dust and low light
02
Fire warning for hot work, furnaces and cable trenches
In a shop where welding, cutting and furnaces are normal, a real fire is easy to miss until it is big. Cable trenches, oil, paint stores and packing areas burn the ordinary way, often after the shift has gone.
During setup we mark hot-work areas with you. Everywhere else, we look for the first visible smoke and flame and alert you in seconds with a photo.
- Visual smoke and flame detection outside the marked hot-work areas
- Covers cable runs, paint stores, panel rooms and packing areas
03
Yard entry at night and idle machines
Plate, scrap and finished forgings need a vehicle to steal, and a large yard at night gives one plenty of room. We know when your yard should be quiet and flag any person or vehicle there. Write the rule the way you would say it, for example: "send me a photo if a truck enters the yard after 10 pm."
Idle-machine tracking, helmet and vest checks, and man-down alerts are set up with you for the bays that need them.
- After-hours intrusion alerts around yards, stores and gates
- Idle-machine tracking, helmet and vest checks and man-down alerts
- A daily summary and a weekly PDF report

Questions
Questions, answered.
Will Foreman work on my existing DVR, or do I need new cameras?
We work with the cameras you already have. Hikvision, Prama, CP Plus and Dahua connect directly, and any standard RTSP or ONVIF DVR or NVR works too. No new cameras, no rewiring.
My shop has welding and furnace glare. Will that cause false fire alerts?
We plan for it. Cameras on hot-work and furnace areas are left out of fire alerts, set with you, and a second, larger model checks every event before an alert goes out.
Is this a replacement for my fire alarm?
No. We see smoke and flame only as your cameras show them; we are not a heat or smoke sensor. Your certified fire-safety systems stay in place, with us as a fast visual warning on top.
Does it work at night, across shifts?
Yes. We watch continuously across every shift. Our own AI models, trained in-house, are built for night video from ordinary cameras.
What does it cost for a typical Durgapur unit?
₹400 per camera per month, four cameras minimum (₹1,600 a month), plus GST. A 16-camera unit pays ₹6,400 a month, and annual prepay gets two months free. Start with the free 7-day trial on up to 32 cameras, no card.
Where does my video go?
Detection runs at your unit, so your recordings stay on site. We send event photos and clips, a small preview photo of each camera every few minutes, and live video only when you open it. Clips are deleted after 30 days. We never sell your data and never train on your footage.
