Agra's shoe units run on solvents and stock. Foreman watches your cameras so you can sleep.

Agra makes a huge share of India's shoes: footwear factories and job-work units, sole and component makers, leather cutting floors and godowns of finished pairs waiting for dispatch, alongside engineering units in Foundry Nagar and industrial estates around Sikandra. Every unit has CCTV; almost none of it is watched. Foreman plugs into your existing DVR 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 Agra actually works

A shoe unit is a chain of small floors: cutting, stitching, lasting, finishing, packing. Stock moves as cartons of finished pairs and rolls of leather and synthetic material, and much of the work is piece-rate, with people coming and going all day. Sole plants and component units run machines that only make money while they are moving.

The cameras are already on the walls, fitted for a buyer audit or after the last incident. They record, and nobody watches. Foreman turns that same CCTV into a watchman that never blinks: it tells you within seconds when a person, vehicle, flame or smoke appears where it should not.

  • Software only, runs on the DVR and cameras you already own
  • Watches cutting floors, packing areas, godowns and gates continuously
  • Alerts on WhatsApp or Telegram with photo proof, within seconds

Fire watch where adhesives and solvents sit beside stock

Footwear manufacturing runs on adhesives, solvents and thinners, tins of them, open on the floor, next to leather, foam, fabric and cartons of finished pairs. Few industries put ignition and fuel so close together. A fire caught in its first minute costs a corner of a rack; caught in its twentieth, it costs the season's orders.

Foreman watches your cameras for the first visible signs of smoke and flame, day and night, and alerts you in seconds with a photo, while there is still time to act. It complements your certified fire-alarm systems; it never replaces them.

  • Visual smoke and flame detection from existing cameras, day and night
  • Watches pasting floors, solvent stores and packed-goods godowns
  • 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, piece-rate attendance and idle lines

Finished pairs and leather walk out of units in bags, not trucks, and the loss shows up months later in the stock count. Foreman knows when your premises should be empty and flags any person or vehicle near your godown, packing area or gate when no one should be there, with a photo within seconds, so you can act while it is still happening.

By day, it counts heads on each floor so attendance and piece-rate payouts rest on what actually happened, and flags stitching lines and machines that sit stopped while you pay wages around them. A daily digest and weekly report show you the unit you actually ran.

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

Works on the DVRs Agra installers already fit

Foreman plugs into existing Hikvision, CP Plus and Dahua DVRs and NVRs, the brands fitted across most of UP, 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 person, 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 and 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 RTSP/ONVIF 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 UP, and most standard RTSP/ONVIF DVRs and NVRs work too. No new cameras, no rewiring.

My unit is small, 6 to 8 cameras. Is Foreman worth it at my size?

That is exactly the size we built for. Sentry at ₹2,999/mo covers 6 cameras, and the free 14-day pilot runs on 4, so you see real alerts from your own floor before paying anything.

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, which matters in a trade that works with solvents.

Workers come and go all day on piece-rate. Can it still track attendance?

Yes. Foreman counts heads from your cameras through the day, floor by floor, so you know how many people were actually working in each area and when, independent of the register.

What does it cost, and is there a commitment?

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

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.
