Tampering usually comes right before a theft. Foreman watches every feed for a camera that is blocked, blinded, sprayed, turned, defocused, or dark, and calls you the moment it happens, with photo proof. It catches genuine camera faults too, so you are never blind without knowing.

When someone plans to steal from you, the camera is the first thing they deal with. A bag over the lens, a turn of the housing, a quick spray, a flick of the lights. By the time you notice the gap in the footage, the loss has already happened and the recording that would have caught it is gone.
Foreman closes that gap. It treats a feed going blind as an event worth your attention, on the spot, so you can act while it still matters instead of finding out the next morning.
- Catches a blocked, blinded, sprayed, turned, defocused, or fully dark camera
- Alerts the moment the view changes, not hours later
- Flags genuine faults too, so a dead camera never goes unnoticed
How Foreman watches your cameras
Foreman runs as software on your existing CCTV. No new hardware, no rewiring. It works with the Hikvision, CP Plus, Dahua and other DVRs and NVRs you already have, over standard RTSP or ONVIF, and installs on a Windows PC in about sixty seconds.
From then on it watches each feed for sudden obstruction, blackout, or a scene that no longer looks like the scene it should. Detection runs on-site, and every event gets a second, more thorough check before you are alerted, so you hear about real tampering and not every passing shadow.
When something is wrong you get a Telegram message with a photo of what the camera now sees, plus a voice call so it reaches you even when you are away from the screen. A daily report keeps you across the quieter signals.
- Software-only on your existing cameras, 60-second Windows install
- Each event re-checked before it becomes an alert
- Telegram photo proof plus a voice call, with a daily report
Why owners keep it on every site
A camera you think is recording but is not is worse than no camera at all, because you are relying on it. Foreman turns your CCTV from a passive record you check after the fact into something that tells you the instant it can no longer see.
One prevented break-in, or one tampered camera caught before the act, pays for years of Foreman. It is the difference between watching the theft on a missing tape and stopping it while it is still being set up.
- Cover every camera across one site or many
- Plain-language rules with zone and time logic when you want them
- One prevented incident can pay for years of service
Built on our own AI models
Tamper detection is powered by Foreman's own AI models, trained in-house for real factory and warehouse floors, where dust, glare, lights going off at shift change and busy scenes would fool simpler systems. We hold our accuracy to the published state of the art, with our benchmark and paper coming.
Frequently asked
How is this different from my DVR's own video loss alert?
Video loss only fires when a camera fully disconnects, a cut cable or a lost signal. It tells you nothing while the camera is still recording. Foreman looks at what the camera actually sees, so it catches a lens that has been covered, sprayed, turned to a wall, knocked out of focus or blacked out, even though the feed is technically still live and your DVR thinks all is well.
Will it catch a lens that is covered slowly, not all at once?
Yes. Because Foreman judges the scene itself rather than waiting for a hard signal drop, a lens being gradually obscured, smeared or eased out of view registers as the picture no longer matching what the camera should be showing, and it alerts before the view is fully gone.
Will turning the lights off at night trigger false alarms?
Normal lights-off and day-to-night changes are exactly what our in-house models are trained to expect, and every event is double-checked before it reaches you. A scheduled shift-end blackout is treated differently from a camera being suddenly covered or blinded during operating hours, so you get alerts that mean something rather than a flood of noise.
Do I need to buy new cameras or hardware?
No. Foreman is software-only and runs on the CCTV you already own, Hikvision, CP Plus, Dahua and any standard RTSP or ONVIF camera. It installs on a Windows PC in about sixty seconds, with no new wiring or devices.
