Your Ho Chi Minh City factory never really stops. Now its cameras won't either.

Ho Chi Minh City is one of the world's great export factories: garment and footwear plants with thousands of workers, furniture workshops, electronics assembly lines, and container yards moving it all out through the port, with hubs like the Tan Thuan and Linh Trung export processing zones running shift after shift. Every plant has CCTV; almost none of it is watched. Foreman plugs into the DVR you already own and sends a WhatsApp or Telegram alert, with photo proof, the moment something goes wrong. Setup takes about 30 minutes. Free 14-day pilot on 4 cameras, no card.

Built for export floors with thousands of workers

A garment or footwear plant in Ho Chi Minh City is a small town: sewing lines by the hundred, cutting rooms, glue and finishing stations, stores full of fabric, leather and soles, and a shipping schedule set by buyers half a world away. No supervisor sees more than one aisle of it at a time.

The cameras see all of it, and today they see it for nobody. Foreman watches every feed, every second, against rules you set in plain English, and puts a photo on your phone the moment one is broken. Same cameras, entirely different job.

  • Software only, runs on the DVR and cameras you already own
  • Made for large floors where no one person can see everything
  • Alerts on WhatsApp or Telegram with photo proof, within seconds

Fire watch for fabric, glue and wood dust

Few industries burn like this one: fabric and thread dust on garment floors, solvent glues in footwear finishing, sawdust and lacquer in furniture workshops, and finished stock packed in cartons awaiting containers. A fire caught at second ten is an incident. At minute ten, on a floor with a thousand workers, it is a catastrophe.

Foreman watches your cameras for the first visible signs of smoke and flame and alerts you in seconds, with a photo, while the fire is still one station or one pallet. It complements your certified fire-alarm systems; it never replaces them.

  • Visual smoke and flame detection from existing cameras, day and night
  • Watches cutting rooms, glue stations, workshops, stores and yards
  • An early layer on top of, never a substitute for, certified fire systems

Night theft, attendance at scale, and idle lines

Finished garments, branded footwear and furniture hardware are easy to carry and easy to sell, and stores are most vulnerable in the hours between the last shift and the first. Foreman knows when your plant should be empty and flags any person or vehicle near your stores, gate or yard when no one should be there. The rule is yours, in plain English: "If anyone enters the finished-goods store after 10 pm, call me with a photo."

By day, counting heads across a workforce of hundreds or thousands is exactly the kind of work software should do. Foreman tracks headcount and attendance shift by shift, flags sewing and assembly lines that sit idle while wages run, and watches dispatch so containers get loaded in the open.

  • After-hours intrusion alerts around stores, gates and yards
  • Headcount and attendance at scale, shift by shift
  • Idle-line tracking: late starts, long stops, lines not earning
  • Daily WhatsApp/Telegram digest plus a weekly PDF report

Works on the CCTV your installer already fitted

Foreman plugs into existing Hikvision, CP Plus and Dahua DVRs and NVRs, and most other standard RTSP/ONVIF CCTV. No new hardware, no new cameras, no rewiring. Setup takes about 30 minutes, done remotely with your own CCTV installer, on normal broadband.

Detection runs on-site, so your continuous footage stays inside your plant. Only short clips around a detected event go to an encrypted cloud for a second check before any alert fires, and those clips are auto-deleted after 30 days. We never sell data. Pricing is offered through local partners and on request; the free 14-day pilot on 4 cameras, no card, stands.

  • Hikvision, CP Plus, Dahua and standard RTSP/ONVIF DVRs/NVRs supported
  • About 30 minutes to set up, remotely, with your existing installer
  • Detection on-site; only short event clips leave, auto-deleted in 30 days
  • Pricing through local partners; free 14-day pilot on 4 cameras, no card

Frequently asked

Will Foreman work on my existing DVR, or do I need new cameras?

It works on the CCTV you already have. Hikvision, CP Plus and Dahua connect directly, and most standard RTSP/ONVIF DVRs and NVRs work too. No new cameras, no rewiring.

Is this a replacement for my fire alarm?

No. Foreman detects the visible signs of smoke and flame through your cameras; it is not a heat or smoke sensor. Keep your certified fire-safety systems in place. Foreman adds a fast visual early warning on top.

Can it really count attendance on a floor with over a thousand workers?

Yes, that is exactly what it is built for. Foreman counts heads from your existing cameras, shift by shift, so attendance reflects who is actually on the floor rather than what the register says.

What does it cost for a Ho Chi Minh City plant?

Pricing is offered through our local partners and on request, sized to your camera count. Start with the free 14-day pilot on 4 cameras, no card, and judge it on real alerts from your own floor.

Where does my footage go?

Detection runs on-site, so continuous footage never leaves your premises. Only short clips around a detected event go to an encrypted cloud for a second check, and they are auto-deleted after 30 days. We never sell data.

Buyers audit our factory. Does Foreman help or complicate that?

Foreman adds a documented safety and monitoring layer, fire early warning, PPE checks, attendance records, on top of your existing systems, without replacing anything an audit expects to see. Your certified fire and safety systems stay exactly as they are.
