AI video analytics for a factory in India, on the cameras you already have

You do not need to buy AI cameras. Install software on a Windows computer at the factory, connect it to the recorder you have, and it reads each camera's video. Detection runs on site. When something needs a person, an alert with a photo goes to the people you choose.

• What it is: software that turns the cameras and recorders you already own into alerts.
• Works with: Hikvision and Prama, Dahua, CP Plus, TVT, Uniview, Axis, Hanwha, and any camera, DVR or NVR with RTSP or ONVIF.
• Standard on every site: smoke and fire, people after hours in zones you mark, a covered camera, and a warning when a camera goes offline.
• Set up for your site with our team: helmet and vest checks, number plates at the gate, forklift near-miss and idle machines.
• Install: about 60 seconds on a Windows PC at the site.
• Price in India: ₹400 per camera per month plus GST, four cameras minimum. Free 7-day trial on up to 32 cameras, no card.

Some checks are on from day one. Others depend on your cameras and layout, so we set them up with you rather than switch them on for everyone.

• Smoke and fire. Early visual detection on every camera you connect. It sits beside your certified fire alarm and never replaces it. See fire and smoke detection.
• People after hours. Anyone in a zone you mark as restricted when the factory is closed, such as the godown, the gate, the electrical room or the yard.
• A covered camera. A lens that is covered, sprayed, blacked out or knocked out of focus, and a camera that stops sending video.
• Helmets and safety vests. Set up for the cameras that cover the areas where they are required. See helmet and vest checks.
• Number plates at the gate. Indian plates today, logged for dispatch and visitors. See number-plate reading.
• Forklift near-miss and idle machines. Set up for your layout. See forklift near-miss and idle machine monitoring.

Most factory cameras are fine. Check four things before you start.

• RTSP or ONVIF. Look for it in the camera or recorder settings or the spec sheet. If you cannot find it, ask your installer.
• A usable picture. The area you care about should fill enough of the frame to recognise a person, and the lens should be clean.
• A Windows PC that stays on and shares the recorder's network.
• An internet connection. Detection runs on site from the recorder's low-bandwidth sub-stream, so it runs on normal broadband. Checking events and sending alerts need the internet.

Factory conditions are harder than an office. Recorders can be years old. Lenses collect dust. Heat and vibration move cameras. The internet drops.

Our software is built in India, for these conditions. It reads the recorder you already have instead of asking you to replace it. A covered-camera check tells you when a lens has been covered, sprayed or knocked out of focus, and a camera that stops sending video is reported too, so a camera you rely on does not fail silently. We do not promise offline operation: if the connection is down you will not get alerts until it is back.

An alert is a photo with the camera name and the time, sent on WhatsApp, Telegram or the Foreman app while the event is still happening. A second, larger model double-checks every event before it reaches you, so the supervisor on night duty is less likely to be woken for a shadow.

You choose who is told. It can be the owner, a plant manager, a security supervisor or all three. A daily plain-language summary and a weekly report show what happened across the site.

Large godowns are where fire and after-hours alerts earn their keep, because fewer people are present and smoke can take time to reach a ceiling detector. Read about warehouse and logistics sites.

In cold rooms and pharma stores the camera matters. Frost, condensation or a fogged lens cannot be read by any software. Check that the cameras in those rooms give a clear picture before you rely on alerts. Read about cold storage and 3PL.

There is no single best AI software for every factory. Choose by what matters to you.

• Does it work with my recorder and cameras, and can I try it on my own cameras first?
• Which alerts are on from day one, and which need setup?
• Do alerts arrive where my team already looks, with a photo?
• Is every alert checked a second time before it reaches me?
• What do I pay per camera per month, in total, with GST?

Pick four to eight cameras, not all of them: the gate, the godown, the electrical room, one production area and the yard. Mark the zones, set the closed hours and choose who is told. Walk each area after hours and check the alert arrives. Look at every alert on day three and move zones that make noise. Decide on day seven.

In India it is ₹400 per camera per month plus GST, with a minimum of four cameras, which is ₹1,600 a month plus GST. For 16 cameras that is ₹6,400 a month plus GST. Annual billing gives two months free. The 7-day trial on up to 32 cameras is free and needs no card. When it ends without a plan, monitoring stops until you choose one.

Your recordings stay on site. Event photos and short clips are encrypted and deleted after 30 days. We never train on your footage unless you ask us to, in writing.
