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

Seafood processing plants and cold stores, spice godowns, port-side warehouses and container yards, and the plywood and veneer units of the belt around Perumbavoor 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 Kochi actually works

Kochi runs on the sea and what moves through it: seafood processors and exporters running peeling, freezing and packing lines against vessel schedules, spice traders holding godowns of pepper, cardamom and ginger, container traffic through the port and Vallarpadam terminal, and the plywood and veneer belt around Perumbavoor working timber around the clock.

Every one of these units has CCTV. Almost none of it is watched. Cold-store stock is worth lakhs per rack; a spice godown is a warehouse of cash; a plywood unit is one spark away from losing a season. 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 plywood, veneer and packed godowns

A plywood unit is timber dust, veneer, resin and hot presses in one shed, among the fastest-burning fire loads in industry. A spice or cargo godown is dense, dry stock stacked to the roof. 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 and alerts you in seconds, with a photo, while the fire is still one corner of one stack. 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 lines

Frozen stock, spices, plywood sheets and diesel walk out of Kochi units at night more often than owners admit, and seafood margins leave no room for shrinkage. Foreman knows when your premises should be empty and flags any person or vehicle near your cold store, godown or gate when no one should be there.

Rules are written in plain language, in the words you would use to a supervisor: 'If anyone enters the cold store after 10 pm, alert me with a photo.' 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 processing lines and presses that sit idle while you pay wages around them.

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

Works on the DVRs Kochi installers already fit

Setup takes about 30 minutes, done remotely with your own CCTV installer or computer person, on normal broadband.

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

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 are the brands we connect to most across Kerala, 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, especially in plywood and veneer sheds. Foreman adds a fast visual early warning on top.

Cameras in a processing plant deal with steam, glare and wet floors. Will it cope?

Our own AI models are trained in-house for Indian factory conditions, steam, glare and low light included, and every event is double-checked before an alert fires, so alerts stay real.

What does it cost for a typical Kochi 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.
