Foreman / textile surat
Try ForemanSurat's textile units lose money at night and between shifts. Your cameras can show you where.
A weaving shed, an embroidery unit, a texturising plant and a grey-fabric godown share the same problem: too much value, too many hours, too few eyes. We run our own AI models on the Hikvision, Prama, CP Plus or Dahua system you already own and alert you on Telegram with a photo when something goes wrong. No new cameras, no rewiring.
01
Where a Surat textile unit loses money
Ask any owner on the Sachin, Pandesara or Kadodara belt where the money leaks, and the answers repeat. A fire near a texturising machine or in a godown stacked with grey fabric. Yarn and fabric that walk out at night. Looms that sit silent while wages run.
The cameras you installed years ago can now watch for this across all three shifts, without anyone staring at a screen. We turn your existing DVR video into clear alerts on your phone.
- Works with your existing Hikvision, Prama, CP Plus or Dahua DVR or NVR, and any RTSP or ONVIF camera
- Watches every connected camera, across all three shifts
- Detection runs on site, and your continuous video stays on your premises
02
Fire and smoke, caught while it is still small
Lint and cotton dust make textile floors burn fast. A spark near a texturising machine or an overloaded panel in a godown corner, and a season's stock can be gone before the brigade arrives. We watch your cameras for the first visible smoke and flame and alert you with a photo. A fire seen in its first seconds is an incident. The same fire found ten minutes later can decide your year.
The boundary, stated plainly: this is visual detection. It complements your certified fire-alarm and life-safety systems and never replaces them. We add an early warning across the areas a ceiling sensor does not cover.
- Visual smoke and flame detection on the cameras covering godowns and machines
- Photo evidence on Telegram, and a voice call for urgent events
- A layer on top of certified fire systems, never a substitute
03
Night theft, tampering and the godown gate
Most break-ins are discovered the next morning, after the loss is done. Yarn beams, grey fabric and finished saris are easy to move and easy to sell, and a dark godown at 2 AM is a soft target.
We know when your premises should be empty. Any person or vehicle near the godown, the loading gate or the stock racks after hours triggers a photo alert. We also tell you when a camera is covered, sprayed, blacked out or knocked out of focus, often the first move before a theft. Loitering alerts near the godown during the day can be set up for your site.
- After-hours intrusion alerts around godowns, gates and stock areas
- Loitering alerts near the godown, set up for your site
- Camera-tampering alerts when a lens is covered, sprayed, blacked out or knocked out of focus
04
Idle looms and late starts
A loom earns only while it runs. We set up loom and line watching for your shed, so we read from the camera whether a machine is running or stopped and flag late starts, long changeovers and idle stretches you are paying wages for. Over a month, those minutes are capacity you can reclaim.
- Running or stopped status for looms and lines, configured for your shed
- Late-start and idle-time flags in your daily summary
05
Install in 60 seconds, rules in your own words
There is nothing to buy and nothing to rewire. Our software installs on a computer at your unit in 60 seconds and connects to your existing DVR. Our team sets up loom and site checks with you, and with your own installer if you like.
Then you write rules the way you would say them, in Hindi or English: "tell me with a photo if anyone is near the godown after 9 PM". We follow them. A plain-language summary arrives every day on Telegram, and a weekly PDF report covers fire flags, intrusions and idle time. Our models are trained in-house for Indian factory conditions: dust, low light, crowded frames. A second, larger model checks every event before it reaches you.
- 60-second install, no new hardware
- Rules in plain Hindi or English, and alerts with photo evidence
- A daily summary and a weekly PDF report

What it costs, against what a godown fire costs
Take a Surat unit with a shed, a godown and a gate on 16 cameras: ₹6,400 a month, or ₹64,000 for the year with two months free, plus GST.
Now price the other side yourself. If a fire catches one corner of a godown holding a season's grey fabric, or a night theft clears two racks of finished stock, what is the number? You know your stock value better than we do.
- 16 cameras: ₹6,400 a month or ₹64,000 a year (two months free)
- Compare it against one godown fire or one night's stolen stock
- Start with a free 7-day trial on up to 32 cameras
Questions
Questions, answered.
Do I need new cameras or any new hardware?
No. Our software works with the Hikvision, Prama, CP Plus or Dahua DVR or NVR you already have, and any RTSP or ONVIF camera. It installs on a computer at your site in 60 seconds.
Is this a fire alarm?
No. We detect visible smoke and flame through your cameras. It is an early warning, not a certified fire-alarm system, and it does not replace one. Keep your fire-safety equipment in place.
Will it work at night and across all three shifts?
Yes. We watch day and night, and our models are trained for low light and dusty conditions. Time-based rules mean movement near the godown after hours raises an alert straight away.
How do I know the alerts will not drive me mad?
A second, larger model checks every event before anything reaches your phone. You get a photo when something real happens, not every time a stray dog crosses the gate.
What does it cost, and can I try it first?
₹400 per camera per month, four cameras minimum (₹1,600 a month), plus GST. Annual prepay gets two months free. Start with a free 7-day trial on up to 32 cameras, no card needed.
