Foreman / Salem
Try ForemanSago in season, steel by the truckload. We watch Salem units through every shift.
Salem runs on steel, sago and looms: steel processing and fabrication units, rolling and re-rolling work, the sago and starch factories the district is known for across India, and powerloom and weaving units running in shifts. They all share one problem: nobody is watching the cameras. We watch every camera continuously and send a Telegram alert with a photo, the camera and the time when something needs you. Free 7-day trial on up to 32 cameras, no card.
01
Built for steel, sago and looms
Salem's industry is a mix that rewards watchfulness. Steel units hold stock that is valuable by the kilo and moved by the truckload. Sago and starch factories run seasonal, round-the-clock processing where hygiene and stoppages both cost money. Powerloom sheds run on thin margins where an idle loom quietly eats the month's profit.
Every one of these units has cameras, and almost none are watched as things happen. Theft, fire and stoppages are found the next morning on the recording, after the loss. We watch the same cameras continuously and tell you in time to act.
- No new hardware: works with the DVR and cameras you already own
- Every camera watched continuously, across every shift and season
- Telegram alerts with a photo, the camera and the time
02
Fire watch for stores, sheds and packed godowns
Steel itself does not burn, but everything around it does: oil, packing material, cable runs and electrical panels working overtime. Sago units carry drying starch and stacked sacks. Loom sheds carry yarn, lint and cloth.
We watch your cameras for the first visible smoke and flame and send you a photo while the fire is still one corner of one shed.
- Early visual smoke and flame detection from the cameras you have
- A second, larger model checks every event before it reaches you
03
Night theft and idle looms
Steel stock, scrap, yarn and finished cloth all walk out of unwatched premises at night, and a loaded yard is hard to cover with one guard. We know when your premises should be empty and tell you about any person or vehicle near your yard, godown or gate when no one should be there, with a photo, and place a voice call for urgent events.
You set the rule in a sentence, for example: "If anyone enters the steel yard after 9 pm, send me a photo and call me." If looms and machines standing still are costing you, idle-loom and idle-machine checks are set up with you for the ones you choose.
- After-hours intrusion alerts around yards, godowns and gates
- Idle-loom and idle-machine checks for late starts and long stops
- A daily summary and a weekly PDF report

Questions
Questions, answered.
Will Foreman work on my existing DVR, or do I need new cameras?
We work with the cameras and recorders you already have. Hikvision, CP Plus and Dahua are the brands we connect to most around Salem, and any standard RTSP or ONVIF DVR or NVR works too. No new cameras, no rewiring.
Is this a replacement for my fire alarm?
No. We spot visible smoke and flame on your cameras, but we are not a heat or smoke sensor. Your certified fire-safety systems stay; we add an early visual warning on top.
My sago unit runs seasonally. Can I use Foreman only part of the year?
Plans are billed monthly, so you can run Foreman through your season. If you run year-round, paying yearly gets you two months free.
What does it cost for a typical Salem unit?
₹400 per camera per month, four cameras minimum (₹1,600 a month), plus GST. A 16-camera unit pays ₹6,400 a month. Pay yearly and get two months free. Start with the free 7-day trial on up to 32 cameras, no card.
Where does my video go?
Detection runs at your unit, so your recordings stay on site. We send event photos and clips, a small preview photo of each camera every few minutes, and live video only when you open it. Clips are deleted after 30 days. We never sell your data and never train on your footage.
I already have a night guard. Why do I need this?
One guard cannot look at every camera and every corner all night. We watch all of them at once and send a photo when something moves where it should not, so your guard knows exactly where to go.
