One guard. Forty cameras. Who is actually watching your factory at night?

What the night shift really looks like

You lock the gate, the shift goes home, and your factory's security comes down to one guard and a wall of camera feeds no human being can watch. Somewhere around 2 AM, on most nights, in most factories, he sleeps. Nobody blames him. It is an impossible job.

So the cameras become a diary instead of a defence. When stock goes missing, you scroll through footage the next morning and watch the theft happen hours after it mattered. And when the loss needed inside knowledge, the only account of the night is the word of the man who was paid to be awake for it.

• One guard cannot watch forty feeds; nobody can
• Footage gets checked after a loss, when it can only confirm the damage
• When something goes missing, the only record of the night is one man's word

A second guard that never sleeps

Foreman watches every camera, every second, all night. It is not looking for motion; it is looking for people and vehicles in the places and hours you say should be empty, and every event is double-checked before it reaches you, so a stray dog does not wake you at 2 AM.

The same watch covers the moves that come before a theft: someone lingering along your fence line after hours, or a camera that suddenly goes dark, covered, or turned to face a wall — usually the first move, not an accident. And when an alert does land, you open the live view from your phone and look for yourself before you decide what to do.

• After-hours intrusion alerts, with a photo of exactly what was seen, within seconds
• Loitering alerts when someone dwells near the gate, fence, or yard
• Camera tampering alerts the instant any feed is blocked, blinded, or dark
• Live camera view from your phone, any hour, from anywhere

You set the rules, in your own words

There is no software to learn. You tell Foreman what to watch the way you would brief a new guard, in plain Hindi or English: "agar koi 8 baje ke baad dispatch area mein ghuse, mujhe batao." Foreman turns that sentence into a working rule and follows it exactly, night after night.

Different cameras can carry different rules. The yard locks down at 8 PM, the finished-goods store stays off-limits around the clock, and the worker hostel side stays ignored so you are never bothered by normal life.

• Plain-language rules in Hindi or English, per camera, per zone, per hour
• Every morning, a daily digest of the whole night on WhatsApp or Telegram
• Every week, a PDF report you can file, share, or put in front of an auditor

It does not replace your guard. It makes him better.

Foreman is not a case for firing anyone. One guard with Foreman behind him is worth five without it: he responds to confirmed alerts instead of staring at screens, and he patrols knowing every camera is being watched while he walks.

It also keeps everyone honest. Alerts go straight to your phone, not to the guard room, so the record of the night no longer depends on any one person. A guard who knows the owner sees every after-hours event is a guard whose word you never have to test. Detection runs on-site, on our own AI models trained in-house for Indian factory floors.

What a night watch costs, honestly

Sentry covers 6 cameras at ₹2,999 a month — ₹29,990 a year on annual prepay, with two months free. Qualitatively, that is a fraction of what you already pay one guard every month, for a watch that covers every camera at once.

We will not invent a payback number. Instead: if a single night's theft took one load of finished goods from your store, what would that loss cost you? Price it, and set it against ₹29,990 for a year of every camera watched, every night. During the free pilot, the dashboard's rupee-impact estimate — labelled as an estimate — lets you judge it on your own numbers.

• Sentry: ₹2,999/mo for 6 cameras, or ₹29,990/yr with two months free
• Supervisor: ₹7,999/mo for 16 cameras, if your night coverage runs wider
• Rupee-impact estimate on the dashboard, labelled as an estimate

Watching your factory by tomorrow night

Foreman is software only. It connects to the Hikvision, CP Plus, or Dahua DVR you already run — no new cameras, no rewiring. Setup takes about 30 minutes, done remotely with your own CCTV installer or computer guy, over normal broadband. Your continuous footage stays on your premises; only short clips around a detected event go for a second check before an alert fires.

Start with a free 14-day pilot on 4 cameras — no card. The first real alert typically lands within 48 hours of connecting.
