Your Chennai plant already has cameras. Foreman makes them earn their keep.

From the auto and electronics belt around Sriperumbudur and Oragadam to the component shops of Ambattur and Guindy, and the leather and export units feeding the port, Chennai's factories share one problem: nobody is watching the cameras. Foreman plugs into the DVR you already own and sends a WhatsApp or Telegram alert, with photo proof, the moment something goes wrong. Setup takes about 30 minutes. Free 14-day pilot on 4 cameras, no card.

Built for the way Chennai actually works

Chennai is Tamil Nadu's industrial anchor: assembly lines and component plants along the Sriperumbudur and Oragadam corridor, electronics manufacturing feeding global supply chains, machine shops and fabrication units packed into Ambattur and Guindy, leather and garment exporters, and warehouses moving cargo to and from the port around the clock.

Every one of these units has CCTV, usually dozens of cameras, and almost none of it is watched live. Break-ins, fires and safety violations are discovered the next morning, on footage, after the loss is already done. Foreman changes what those cameras are for: from recording losses to preventing them.

  • Software only, runs on the DVR and cameras you already own
  • Watches every camera, every second, across all shifts
  • Alerts on WhatsApp or Telegram with photo proof, within seconds
  • Our own AI models, trained in-house for Indian factory conditions

Fire watch for paint shops, stores and packed warehouses

An auto-component unit carries oils, solvents and paint lines; an electronics floor carries dense wiring and battery stock; a leather or garment store carries racks of material that burn fast. A fire seen at second ten is an incident. The same fire at minute ten is the loss that decides your year.

Foreman watches your cameras for the first visible signs of smoke and flame, day and night, and alerts you in seconds with a photo, while the fire is still one corner of one rack. It complements your certified fire-alarm systems; it never replaces them.

  • Visual smoke and flame detection from existing cameras, day and night
  • An early layer on top of, never a substitute for, certified fire systems
  • Every event is double-checked before an alert fires, so alerts stay real

Night theft, gate discipline and idle machines

Finished components, copper, tools and dispatch-ready stock walk out of unwatched units at night. Foreman knows when your premises should be empty and flags any person or vehicle near your stores, gate or yard when no one should be there, then sends a photo and a voice call so you act while it is happening, not the next morning.

Rules are written in plain Tamil, Hindi or English: "If anyone enters the raw-material store after 10 pm, send me a photo and call me." Foreman follows that rule every night without getting sleepy. It also counts heads across shifts, so attendance matches reality rather than the register, and flags machines that sit stopped while you pay wages around them.

  • After-hours intrusion alerts around stores, gates, yards and dispatch bays
  • Headcount and attendance, shift by shift, from the cameras you have
  • Idle-machine tracking: late starts, long stops, lines not earning
  • Daily WhatsApp/Telegram digest plus a weekly report

Works on the DVRs Chennai installers already fit

Foreman plugs into existing Hikvision, CP Plus and Dahua DVRs and NVRs, and most other standard RTSP/ONVIF systems. No new hardware, no new cameras, no rewiring. Setup takes about 30 minutes, done remotely with your own CCTV installer or computer person, on normal broadband.

Detection runs on-site, so continuous footage stays inside your plant; only short clips around a detected event go to the cloud for a second check before any alert fires. Clips are stored in India and auto-deleted after 30 days. We never sell data.

  • Hikvision, CP Plus, Dahua and most standard RTSP/ONVIF DVRs/NVRs supported
  • About 30 minutes to set up, remotely, with your existing installer
  • Continuous footage never leaves your premises; event clips stored in India, deleted in 30 days
  • Plans from ₹2,999/mo; free 14-day pilot on 4 cameras, no card

Frequently asked

Will Foreman work on my existing DVR, or do I need new cameras?

It works on the CCTV you already have. Hikvision, CP Plus and Dahua connect directly, and most standard RTSP/ONVIF DVRs and NVRs work too. No new cameras, no rewiring.

Is this a replacement for my fire alarm?

No. Foreman detects the visible signs of smoke and flame through your cameras; it is not a heat or smoke sensor. Keep your certified fire-safety systems in place. Foreman adds a fast visual early warning on top.

My plant runs multiple shifts. Does Foreman work at night?

Yes. It watches continuously, across every shift. Our own AI models are trained in-house for Indian factory conditions, dust and low light included.

What does it cost for a typical Chennai unit?

Sentry ₹2,999/mo (6 cameras), Supervisor ₹7,999/mo (16), Factory OS ₹19,999/mo (40). Annual prepay = 2 months free. Start with the free 14-day pilot on 4 cameras, no card.

Where does my footage go?

Detection runs on-site, so continuous footage never leaves your premises. Only short clips around a detected event go for a second check; they are stored in India and auto-deleted after 30 days. We never sell data.

Can my supervisors get alerts too, not just me?

Yes. Alerts go out on WhatsApp or Telegram to the people you choose, with photo proof, and critical events like fire can also trigger a voice call.
