Your Kanpur unit records everything and watches nothing. Foreman fixes that.

Tanneries and leather-goods exporters in and around Jajmau, plastics and packaging units in Panki and Dada Nagar, engineering shops and hosiery floors across the city: Kanpur's factories all have CCTV, and almost nobody watches it. 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 Kanpur actually works

Kanpur has made leather for over a century. Tanneries hold chemical stores and drums of finished hides; saddlery and leather-goods exporters hold cut stock and finished orders against shipment dates. Panki and Dada Nagar add plastics units where granule bags stack to the roof, extruders run through the night, and engineering shops hold raw metal and finished jobs.

The cameras were fitted long ago, for a buyer audit or after the last theft. They record onto a hard disk nobody opens until the loss has already happened. 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 tannery floors, godowns, yards and gates across every shift
  • Alerts on WhatsApp or Telegram with photo proof, within seconds

Fire watch for chemical stores and plastic granules

A tannery's chemical store and a plastic unit's granule godown have one thing in common: once a fire takes hold, it does not stop at one rack. Solvents, finishing chemicals, granule bags and packed cartons burn fast and dirty, and the worst hours are after the shift, when nobody is on the floor to smell it starting.

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 the fire is still small enough to end with one extinguisher. It complements your certified fire-alarm systems; it never replaces them.

  • Visual smoke and flame detection from existing cameras, day and night
  • Covers stores, godowns and yards where sensors are sparse
  • 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 of hides and granules, attendance and idle machines

Finished hides, granule bags and copper walk out of Kanpur units at night, a few at a time, and the gate register never argues. Foreman knows when your premises should be empty and flags any person or vehicle near your godown, store or gate when no one should be there. Rules are written in plain Hindi or English: "agar raat 10 baje ke baad hide godown ke paas koi dikhe, mujhe photo ke saath call karo."

By day, it counts heads shift by shift so attendance matches reality rather than the muster, and flags extruders, stitching lines and machines that sit stopped while you pay wages around them. A daily digest and weekly report show you the floor you actually ran.

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

Works on the DVRs Kanpur 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.

Tannery floors are dusty and badly lit. Will detection still work?

Usually, yes. Our own AI models are trained in-house for Indian factory conditions: dust, humidity and low light included. During the free 14-day pilot you see exactly how your cameras perform 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.

Can it help with attendance across shifts?

Yes. Foreman counts heads from your existing cameras, shift by shift, so the numbers you pay wages on match what actually happened on the floor, not just what the register says.

What does it cost for a typical Kanpur unit?

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.

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.
