ForemanBecome a partner →Catch someone casing your premises before they make a move
Foreman watches your fence, gate, and yard on the CCTV you already own and flags anyone who lingers where they should be passing through. You see the intent before the incident.
Start a free pilotThe threat starts before the break-in
Most losses do not begin when a lock is cut. They begin days earlier, with someone standing a little too long near your gate, walking the fence line, or sitting in a parked vehicle watching your yard after hours. That is recon, and by the time anything is taken the decision was made long before.
A guard cannot watch every camera, and recordings only matter after the loss. Foreman closes that gap. It treats lingering as the early signal it is and tells you while the person is still standing there, so you can make a call, send someone out, or simply let them know they are seen.
- See people dwelling near the perimeter, not just the moment of entry
- Act on after-hours lingering before it turns into a loss
- Turn passive recordings into a live alert with photo proof
How loitering detection works
You mark the zones that matter: the fence line, the main gate, the loading yard, the back boundary. You set the hours you care about, such as after the last shift or all night. You set how long counts as too long for each spot.
Foreman watches those zones on your existing cameras and flags a person who dwells beyond the time you allow. Every flagged event gets a second, more thorough check before you are alerted, so a shadow or a passing shape does not become a false alarm. When it is real, you get a Telegram message with a photo and a voice call. Every morning you get a plain daily report of what happened overnight.
- You draw the zones and choose the hours and dwell time in plain language
- Detection runs on-site on your own cameras, no new hardware
- Each event is double-checked before it alerts you
- Alerts arrive by Telegram with photo proof and by voice call
Built on our own AI, tuned for the perimeter
Foreman runs its own AI models, trained in-house for factory and warehouse floors. The hard part of loitering is telling a real lingerer from normal yard activity, and that is what these models are built to judge.
We hold our work to the published state of the art, with our benchmark and paper coming; you can read more on our research page. For you it means fewer nuisance pings and a real alert when someone is genuinely dwelling where they should not be.
One prevented incident pays for years
A single theft, a stripped vehicle, or stock walking out the back can cost more than a year of Foreman. Loitering detection is the cheapest moment to intervene, because it acts on intent rather than damage.
Installation takes about a minute on a Windows machine, and it works on the Hikvision, CP Plus, Dahua, or any RTSP or ONVIF cameras you already have. Start with a free 14-day pilot, no card required, and watch your own perimeter for a week before you decide.
Frequently asked
How is loitering detection different from intrusion detection?
Intrusion is about someone crossing a line or entering a space they should not be in. Loitering is about someone staying too long in a zone they could legitimately pass through, like the area outside your gate or fence. It catches the watching and waiting that comes before an intrusion, not just the entry itself.
Will a worker walking past trigger an alert?
No. Foreman only flags a person who dwells in your marked zone longer than the time you allow. A worker passing through stays under that limit and stays silent. You set the dwell time, so normal pass-through never becomes a nuisance alert, and every flagged event is double-checked before you hear about it.
Can I set the zones and the times myself?
Yes. You mark exactly which areas to watch, choose the hours that matter such as after the last shift or overnight, and set how long counts as loitering for each spot. The rules are written in plain language, so you can adjust them as your site and shifts change.
Does this need new cameras or hardware?
No. Foreman is software only and runs on the CCTV you already have, including Hikvision, CP Plus, Dahua DVR and NVR, and any RTSP or ONVIF camera. Setup is a roughly 60-second install on a Windows machine, with detection running on-site.
