Your Ludhiana unit already has cameras. Foreman makes them earn their keep.

Hosiery and knitwear floors, yarn godowns, cycle-parts workshops, forging shops and machine-tool units share one problem: nobody is watching the cameras. 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 the way Ludhiana actually works

Ludhiana runs on two economies under one roof of smoke and yarn: knitwear and hosiery units racing the winter season, and the metal side, bicycle parts, sewing-machine parts, fasteners, forgings and machine tools, from Focal Point to the workshops along Gill Road. Stock piles up fast, seasons are short, and margins live or die on what happens inside the shed.

Every one of these units has CCTV. Almost none of it is watched. Break-ins, small fires and missing stock are usually discovered the next morning, on footage, after the loss is already done. Foreman changes what those cameras are for: from recording losses to preventing them.

  • Software only, runs on the DVR and cameras you already own
  • Watches every camera, every second, across every shift
  • Alerts on WhatsApp or Telegram with photo proof, within seconds

Fire watch for hosiery godowns and winter stock

A hosiery godown before the winter season is lint in the air, wool and acrylic stacked to the roof, and electrical points working overtime. A fire seen at second ten is an incident. The same fire at minute ten can take the season's entire production with it.

Foreman watches your cameras for the first visible signs of smoke and flame, in the godown, near the knitting machines, around the panel room, and alerts you in seconds with a photo, while the fire is still one corner of one rack. It complements your certified fire-alarm systems; it never replaces them.

  • Visual smoke and flame detection from existing cameras, day and night
  • An early layer on top of, never a substitute for, certified fire systems
  • Every event is double-checked before an alert fires, so alerts stay real

Night theft, attendance and idle knitting machines

Yarn, finished garments and metal parts walk out of Ludhiana units at night more often than owners admit. Brass and steel components disappear a few kilos at a time; a bag of finished sweaters is a month's margin. Foreman knows when your premises should be empty and flags any person or vehicle near your godown, gate or stock when no one should be there.

Rules are written in plain Hindi or English: "agar koi raat 10 baje ke baad yarn godown mein ghuse, mujhe photo ke saath turant batao." Foreman follows that rule every night without getting sleepy. It also counts heads shift by shift, so attendance matches reality rather than the register, and flags knitting and forging machines that sit stopped while you pay wages around them.

  • After-hours intrusion alerts around godowns, gates and stock racks
  • Headcount and attendance, shift by shift, from the cameras you have
  • Idle-machine tracking: late starts, long stops, machines not earning
  • Daily WhatsApp/Telegram digest plus a weekly PDF report

Works on the DVRs Ludhiana installers already fit

Foreman plugs into existing Hikvision, CP Plus and Dahua DVRs and NVRs, the brands fitted across most Punjab factories, 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 or computer guy, on normal broadband.

Detection runs on-site, so continuous footage stays inside your unit; only short clips around a detected event go to the cloud for a second check before any alert fires. Clips are stored in India, auto-deleted after 30 days. We never sell data. The first real alert typically lands within 48 hours of connecting.

  • Hikvision, CP Plus, Dahua and most standard DVRs/NVRs supported
  • About 30 minutes to set up, remotely, with your existing installer
  • Plans from ₹2,999/mo; 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 are the brands we connect to most across Punjab, 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.

My unit runs day and night in season. Does Foreman keep up?

Yes. It watches continuously, across every shift. Our own AI models, trained in-house for Indian factory conditions, handle dust, lint and low light.

Can it tell me if my knitting machines are sitting idle?

Yes. Foreman tracks machines that should be running: late starts, long stops and floors that go quiet mid-shift, and rolls it up in a daily digest and weekly report.

What does it cost for a typical Ludhiana unit?

Sentry ₹2,999/mo (6 cameras), Supervisor ₹7,999/mo (16), Factory OS ₹19,999/mo (40). Annual prepay = 2 months free. Start with the free 14-day pilot on 4 cameras, no card.

Where does my footage go?

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