You already pay for guards and a DVR. Here is why the losses still happen.

The honest problem with the setup you have

A guard is a human being. At 2 AM he is at the gate, or on a round, or fighting sleep, and he cannot be in front of the monitor wall at the same time. A DVR is a recorder. It does its job perfectly: it records the theft, records the first ten minutes of the fire, records the truck that left with more than the invoice said. Then it shows you the footage the next morning, after the loss is already done.

Neither of these is a failure of the guard or the DVR. It is a gap between them: nobody, and nothing, is watching the cameras live and raising the alarm. That gap is exactly what Foreman fills. Detection runs on-site, every event is double-checked before it reaches you, and the alert lands on your phone and can be acted on by the guard while the incident is still happening.

• The guard's job is response. Foreman's job is noticing, instantly, on every camera at once.
• The DVR's job is evidence after the fact. Foreman turns the same feed into a warning before the fact.
• Foreman replaces the watching, not the guard.

Side by side

• What happens at 2 AM — Foreman: Foreman flags the movement in seconds, sends you and your guard a photo on WhatsApp or Telegram, and the response starts while the person is still on site. Alternative: The DVR records. The guard is at the gate or on a round. Movement inside the godown is discovered on footage the next morning.
• Who watches 16 cameras — Foreman: Foreman watches all 16, every second, every shift, and never gets bored. Alternative: Realistically, no one. A human cannot watch sixteen screens for eight hours; studies of monitoring rooms aside, every owner knows the monitor wall is furniture.
• Cost per month — Foreman: Foreman from ₹2,999/mo (6 cameras) to ₹19,999/mo (40 cameras), added on top of the guards you already employ. Alternative: A guard's monthly wage typically runs well above one Foreman plan, and night coverage usually means more than one guard.
• Evidence after an incident — Foreman: A timestamped photo and clip of the exact event, already on your phone, plus a weekly PDF report. Alternative: Hours of scrubbing DVR footage, if the recording was on and the camera was pointed the right way.
• Fatigue and collusion — Foreman: Foreman does not sleep and cannot be persuaded. The alert reaches the owner directly, with photo proof. Alternative: A tired guard misses things. A colluding guard misses things on purpose. Either way, you find out late.
• Fire watch — Foreman: Foreman raises a visual smoke and flame alert in seconds, an early layer on top of, never a replacement for, your certified fire systems. Alternative: The guard smells smoke if he is close enough, and the DVR films the flames.
• Compliance record — Foreman: Daily digest, headcount and PPE logs, and a weekly PDF usable as audit evidence. Alternative: The register says what the supervisor wrote in it.

What this costs, honestly

Foreman starts at ₹2,999/mo for 6 cameras (Sentry), ₹7,999/mo for 16 (Supervisor), ₹19,999/mo for 40 (Factory OS). Annual prepay earns 2 months free. There is no hardware to buy: it plugs into your existing Hikvision, CP Plus or Dahua DVR or NVR, and most standard CCTV, in about 30 minutes, remotely, with your own installer.

We will not invent a number to impress you. But price one hypothetical yourself: suppose a fire catches one rack of stock at night, or one round of pilferage goes undetected for a season. Set what that would cost you against ₹35,988 a year for the entry plan. During the free pilot, the dashboard shows a rupee-impact estimate, labelled as an estimate, so you can do this arithmetic with your own numbers.

• No new cameras, no rewiring, no hardware cost
• Monthly plans, cancel anytime; annual prepay = 2 months free
• Free 14-day pilot on 4 cameras, no card, first real alert typically within 48 hours

Keep your guards. Arm them.

We want to be precise about the positioning, because "AI replaces guards" is a lie we refuse to sell. A camera cannot stop a thief at the gate, escort a truck, or pull a worker out of danger. Your guards do that. What guards cannot do is watch sixteen feeds at once, all night, without a lapse.

With Foreman, the 2 AM alert goes to the owner and can go to the guard on duty. The guard stops patrolling blind and starts responding to a photo of a real event at a known camera. It replaces the manual watching, not the guard.

• Alerts can reach the owner, the manager and the guard on duty together
• Every alert is double-checked before it fires, so guards are not chasing ghosts
• Assistive alerts: Foreman notices, your people decide and act

When Foreman is not the right choice

Honesty sells, so here it is plainly. Do not buy Foreman if:

• You have no CCTV at all. Foreman is software for cameras you already own. Get a basic DVR and cameras installed first; any local installer can do it. Then Foreman makes them useful.
• Your real need is physical response. If your site needs a force that can physically stop intruders, that is a manned-guarding contract, not software. Foreman will tell your team faster; it will not tackle anyone.
• You want continuous cloud recording of everything. Foreman deliberately keeps continuous footage on your premises and sends only short event clips for verification. If your requirement is every minute of video stored in the cloud, that is a different product.
• The risk your business runs on is not visible to a camera. Gas leaks, temperature excursions, weighbridge fraud by paperwork: Foreman is vision-only and will not help there. We would rather say so now than after you have paid.
