Foreman / what is foreman
Try ForemanWhat Is Foreman Intelligence
Foreman Intelligence is visual intelligence. We turn the images and video from cameras you already have into understanding, useful data and action. It notices fire, smoke and intrusion, checks every event a second time, and tells you with a photo, the camera and the time. Factories and warehouses are where we started. No new hardware. Built in India, for India and beyond.
01
What it is
Foreman Intelligence is software that watches the cameras you already own and understands what happens in front of them. It works with the cameras and recorders most sites run, including Hikvision and Prama, Dahua, CP Plus, TVT, Uniview, Axis, Hanwha and any standard RTSP or ONVIF camera, DVR or NVR. There is nothing new to buy and nothing to fix to a wall.
Our software installs on a computer at your site in 60 seconds, connects to your camera feeds and watches every camera continuously. When it notices something that matters, it sends you a photo of the event, and for urgent events it calls your phone.
Factories and warehouses are where we started. The same layer works anywhere cameras can see: logistics yards, cold stores, construction sites, retail floors and campuses.
In one line: we watch your existing cameras, understand what is happening on site, and tell you when something needs you.
02
What it detects
Foreman is a vision system. Everything it knows, it sees through your cameras. It does not use heat sensors, gas sensors, microphones or any other hardware. Some checks are standard on every site. Others we set up for your cameras and layout with you.
- Fire and smoke: early visual detection of flame and smoke, so you hear about it before it spreads. Standard on every site.
- People and intrusion: after-hours movement and entry into zones you mark as restricted. Standard on every site.
- Camera tampering: a camera that is covered, sprayed, blacked out or knocked out of focus. Standard on every site.
- Rules in plain words for people, vehicles, fire and smoke, zones and times, such as "tell me about movement after 8 PM".
- Set up for your site with our team: helmet and vest checks, idle machines and lines, man-down, forklift near-miss, number-plate and dispatch logging, and other checks your operation needs.
03
How it works
You install Foreman on a computer at the site and point it at your existing camera feeds. Detection runs on site, on your own video. Checking, alerts and reports use our cloud service, so the PC needs an internet connection.
We do not alert blindly. A second, larger model checks every event before anything reaches you, so you get fewer false alarms and more signal.
Confirmed events arrive on Telegram with a photo, the camera and the time, and urgent ones also trigger a voice call, so a missed message never becomes a missed fire. Every day you get a plain-language summary, and every week a PDF report. You can see every event in the Foreman app on the web, ask Foreman questions about what happened, and write your own rules in everyday words.
04
Who it is for
Foreman is built for the owner or operator of a site with cameras, starting with factories and warehouses: the person who carries the loss when a fire starts at night, an intruder gets in after hours, or a shift runs short.
It is for people who already have cameras but get little from them beyond recordings they check after something has gone wrong. Foreman turns that video into understanding you can act on while it matters.
Pricing is ₹400 per camera per month, four cameras minimum. You can run a free 7-day trial on up to 32 cameras, with no card.
05
How it is different
We run our own AI models, trained in-house for real sites, not generic software pointed at industrial cameras. We build for the conditions of real plants and yards: poor light, busy frames, dust and motion.
Our research page explains how we measure it.
The promise stays plain: every event checked twice, evidence with every alert, and a daily picture of your site, all on the cameras you already own, with no new hardware. We never train on your footage.

Foreman Intelligence vs. similarly named products
"Foreman" is a common name, so it is easy to confuse this product with unrelated software. To be clear about what this Foreman Intelligence is and is not:
- It is not the Bitcoin-mining "Foreman" by OBM. We have nothing to do with crypto mining or mining-rig monitoring.
- It is not theforeman.org, the open-source server lifecycle and provisioning tool for IT infrastructure.
- It is not "Foreman AI," the construction-industry software.
- It is not Contractor Foreman, the construction project-management platform.
- This Foreman Intelligence is visual intelligence software that works with a site's existing cameras to detect fire and smoke, intrusion and camera tampering, starting with factories and warehouses. It is built in India and runs our own in-house-trained models.
Questions
Questions, answered.
Is Foreman Intelligence the crypto-mining company?
No. We are not the Bitcoin-mining "Foreman" by OBM and have nothing to do with crypto or mining-rig monitoring. This Foreman Intelligence is visual intelligence software that works with the cameras at factories, warehouses and other sites to detect fire, smoke and intrusion.
Is this the same as theforeman.org?
No. theforeman.org is an open-source tool for IT server provisioning and lifecycle management. Our Foreman is visual intelligence for physical sites, working with your existing cameras.
Is Foreman Intelligence a construction product like Foreman AI or Contractor Foreman?
No. "Foreman AI" and Contractor Foreman are construction project-management software. This Foreman Intelligence understands camera video. It started with factories and warehouses and works on any site your cameras can see.
Does Foreman need new cameras or sensors?
No. Foreman is software and works with the cameras you already own: Hikvision and Prama, Dahua, CP Plus, TVT, Uniview, Axis, Hanwha and any standard RTSP or ONVIF camera, DVR or NVR. There is no new hardware and no heat, gas or audio sensors. It works purely from your camera views.
What does Foreman detect?
On every site: fire and smoke, people and intrusion (after hours and in restricted zones), and camera tampering, plus your own rules in plain words. Set up for your site with our team: helmet and vest checks, idle machines, man-down, forklift near-miss, number-plate and dispatch logging, and other checks your operation needs.
Does Foreman replace my fire alarm?
No. Foreman adds early visual detection of smoke and flame from your cameras and alerts you fast, but it complements rather than replaces certified fire-alarm and life-safety systems. Keep your own alarms in place.
How accurate is it?
Our own AI models find possible events on site, and a second, larger model checks every event before it reaches you, so what arrives is worth acting on. We will publish our measured results with our benchmark on the research page.
