Stop people and vehicles slipping in through your gate

Tailgating is the oldest way past a gate: wait for someone authorized, then follow close behind. Foreman watches the gate on your existing cameras and flags when more entries happen than expected, or when a second person or vehicle follows on a single opening. Software only, on the CCTV you already have.

Why it matters to the owner

An unauthorized entry at the gate is where most loss and most liability begin. The person who walks in behind your loader can reach your stock, your floor, and your people. The vehicle that rolls in behind a delivery never appears in any log.

Most gates are guarded by attention alone, and attention dips at shift change, at peak traffic, during a phone call. Tailgating exploits exactly those moments. Foreman does not get tired, look away, or wave a familiar face through.

One unauthorized entry caught before it becomes a theft, an injury, or a security incident can pay for the system for years. That is the trade Foreman is built around.

  • Fewer unauthorized people and vehicles on your floor
  • A clear visual record of who and what came through the gate
  • Less reliance on one guard staying sharp every second

How Foreman sees tailgating

Foreman watches the gate the way a sharp guard would. When the gate opens for one authorized entry, it expects one. If two people walk through, or a vehicle follows close behind another, that is flagged.

Everything is visual. Foreman reads what the camera sees: a second person stepping through, a vehicle nosing in behind a delivery truck, more entries on a single opening than expected. There is nothing to wire into your gate.

Every flag gets a second, more thorough check before you are alerted, so a friend walking out beside a worker does not become a false alarm at 2 am. When something is real, you get a Telegram alert with photo proof and a voice call within seconds, plus a daily summary of gate activity.

  • Flags a second person or vehicle following on one opening
  • Flags more entries than expected for a single gate opening
  • Photo proof on Telegram, a voice call, and a daily report

Visual only, not badges or RFID

We want to be plain about this. Foreman does not connect to your access-control system, your boom barrier controller, or any badge or RFID reader. It does not need to.

Tailgating here means Foreman sees a second person or vehicle follow through the gate on camera. It works on the cameras you already have, whether or not you run any electronic access control.

If you do have badges or barriers, Foreman sits alongside them as a second pair of eyes on what actually happened at the gate.

Set up in a minute, on the cameras you have

Foreman is software. It installs on a Windows machine on-site in about 60 seconds and connects to your existing Hikvision, CP Plus, Dahua, or any RTSP or ONVIF cameras. No new hardware, no cabling, no gate retrofit.

Detection runs on-site at your gate. You write rules in plain language with zone and time logic, so you can watch the main gate during loading hours and the side gate around the clock, however your day runs.

  • 60-second Windows install, no new hardware
  • Works with Hikvision, CP Plus, Dahua DVR and NVR, any RTSP or ONVIF
  • Plain-language rules with gate zones and time windows

Frequently asked

Do I need to integrate with my access-control or badge system?

No. Foreman is vision only. It reads what your cameras see at the gate and flags a second person or vehicle following through. It does not connect to badges, RFID, boom barriers, or any access-control hardware, and it works whether or not you run electronic access control.

Does it catch both people and vehicles?

Yes. Foreman flags a person stepping through behind an authorized one, and a vehicle nosing in behind another vehicle on the same gate opening. You can apply it to gates used by foot traffic, vehicle traffic, or both.

What about legitimate deliveries and busy gates?

You set the rules in plain language for each gate and time window, so expected delivery traffic fits your real schedule. Every flag also gets a second, more thorough check before you are alerted, which keeps normal busy moments from turning into false alarms.

Will it slow down traffic at the gate?

No. Foreman only watches and alerts. It does not control the gate or stop anyone. Your flow stays exactly as it is, and you get photo proof and a voice call the moment something looks wrong.

How accurate is the detection?

Foreman runs our own AI models, trained in-house for factory and warehouse floors and measured against the published state of the art. Our benchmark and paper are coming and will be linked from our research page. Treat gate alerts as a strong assistive layer over your own gate discipline.
