Foreman / Kolkata
Try ForemanJute catches fast in an old Hooghly mill. You see the first smoke on your phone.
Jute mills along the Hooghly, tanneries and leather-goods units at Bantala, Howrah's foundries and engineering shops, garment floors and packed godowns. Kolkata's industry is old, dense and full of stock that burns or walks. 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 old buildings and dense stock
Much of Kolkata's industry runs in buildings older than anyone working in them: jute mills on the riverbank, Howrah workshops with wiring added over decades, godowns packed wall to wall, Bantala units handling hides, chemicals and finished leather. The cameras on those walls are often basic, and that is fine.
We work with the cameras you have, watch every feed continuously and tell the right person in seconds, with the photo that shows why.
- Software only, on the DVR and cameras you already own
- Works with older and basic cameras on standard recorders
- Telegram alerts with a photo, and a voice call for urgent events
- Our own AI models, trained in-house
02
Fire warning for jute bales, godowns and old wiring
Jute fibre and bales catch and spread quickly. Add old wiring, dense godowns and long unmanned nights, and the first few minutes decide everything. Leather units add chemicals and finished stock that is expensive to lose.
We look for the first visible smoke and flame on your cameras and alert you in seconds with a photo, while it is still one corner of one godown. A second, larger model checks every event first.
- Visual smoke and flame detection, day and night
- Covers bale stores, godowns, panel rooms and finishing areas
03
Night entry and looms standing still
Finished goods, leather, copper and fabric leave a unit the same way: at night, through a side door. Mark the areas that should be empty and when, and we flag any person or vehicle there.
For looms and machines that sit stopped, idle tracking is set up with you for the ones that matter.
- After-hours intrusion alerts around godowns, stores and gates
- Idle-loom and machine tracking on the ones you choose
- 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 mill building is old and the cameras are basic. Will it still work?
Usually, yes. If your recorder can share a standard video stream, we can read it. The free trial is the easiest way to find out on your own cameras.
Is this a replacement for my fire alarm?
No. We catch the visible signs of smoke and flame on camera, and we are not a heat or smoke sensor. Keep your certified fire-safety systems exactly where they are; we add an early visual warning.
Can I just ask what happened last night?
Yes. Ask Foreman in the app or on Telegram, in your own words. The answer comes from the events we have seen on your cameras, with the photos to back it up.
What does it cost for a typical Kolkata 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.
