Your Erode unit already has cameras. Foreman makes them earn their keep.

Erode runs on cloth and crop: powerloom and handloom weaving, dyeing and bleaching units along the Bhavani belt, cloth godowns feeding one of India's biggest textile trades, and the turmeric and agro godowns the city is famous for. They all 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 Erode actually works

Erode's economy is thousands of small and mid-sized units rather than a few big plants: loom sheds where every running loom matters, dyeing and bleaching houses processing cloth in shifts, and godowns where cloth bales or sacks of turmeric sit as a family's entire working capital.

Every one of these units has CCTV, and almost none of it is watched live. Theft, fire and stoppages 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 every shift
  • Alerts on WhatsApp or Telegram with photo proof, within seconds

Fire watch for cloth godowns and agro stock

A godown stacked with cloth bales, yarn or dry agro produce is dense fuel with lint and dust in the air and wiring that was never planned for today's load. A fire seen at second ten is an incident. The same fire at minute ten takes the stock, and the stock is the business.

Foreman watches your cameras for the first visible signs of smoke and flame 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, attendance and idle looms

Cloth bales and turmeric sacks are exactly the stock that quietly walks out of unwatched godowns at night, a few at a time, until the annual stock-take turns into a shock. Foreman knows when your premises should be empty and flags any person or vehicle near your godown, gate or drying yard when no one should be there, with a photo and a voice call.

Rules are written in plain Tamil, Hindi or English: "If anyone enters the cloth godown after 9 pm, send me a photo and call me." Foreman follows that rule every night without getting sleepy. It also counts heads shift by shift, so attendance matches reality rather than the register, and flags looms that sit stopped while you pay wages around them.

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

Works on the DVRs Erode installers already fit

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 unit is small, just a loom shed and a godown. Is Foreman worth it?

That is exactly who Sentry is for: ₹2,999/mo covers 6 cameras, enough for a gate, a godown and the shed. Start with the free 14-day pilot on 4 cameras and judge it on your own footage.

What does it cost for a typical Erode 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 rules be written in Tamil?

Yes. Rules are written in plain Tamil, Hindi or English, for example "If anyone comes near the turmeric godown after dark, alert me with a photo." Foreman enforces them every night.
