How Watchful works

Cameras that watch, understand and resolve.

Watchful turns the cameras you already have into part of the team. You tell it what matters, in plain words. It watches every camera, understands what is happening, and makes sure the right person handles it.

A wall of camera views from a warehouse and a store, every one watched.
01Watch

Every camera, every minute. The Watchful Box connects to the cameras you already have, wired or Wi-Fi, and keeps their video on site.

A warehouse camera: a person walks in the forklift lane without a vest, and Watchful's alert names it.
02Understand

Not just motion. It knows a person in the forklift lane without a vest, a spill, a queue, a door left open, and tells them apart from everything that doesn't matter.

The same alert, now marked Handled by Sam.
03Resolve

The right person gets the alert with the clip, acts, and marks it handled. Everything is logged, so you can ask about the past: “When was the back door left open this week?”

On its own

The box is your recorder: cameras plug into a PoE switch, the switch into the box. For a site with no recorder yet.

With your system

One cable to your network. Your recorder keeps recording; Watchful adds the watching, the alerts and the answers.

Nothing leaves the building, and alerts keep working without internet. The simplest answer for privacy rules and inspections.
