AI monitoring for the CCTV you already have

Your cameras see everything. Now they understand it

Woodcock AI watches every CCTV feed on your site, day and night, for smoke and fire, intruders and unsafe working. When something happens, you get an alert with the video clip in seconds, so your team can check it and act.

One night on a waste site. Every camera on watch

Real footage from an existing night-time camera: Woodcock AI picks out smoke and flame on a waste site and sends the alert, with the clip, to a phone.

  1. 1

    Your cameras wake up

    Woodcock AI connects to the cameras and recorders you already have, including most IP cameras and many legacy DVRs, then watches every view around the clock.

  2. 2

    Smoke and fire

    Faint smoke from a smouldering stockpile is flagged in seconds, before it becomes a blaze, with the clip so you can see it for yourself.

  3. 3

    Intrusion

    Intrusion zones and line-crossing rules watch the perimeter after hours. AI tells genuine threats from false triggers, so you get the breach without a stream of motion alerts.

  4. 4

    Safety modules

    Woodcock AI offers safety modules such as PPE detection, where supported, confirmed in your site assessment.

  5. 5

    Edge or cloud

    Video stays on your NVR or a Woodcock virtual NVR. AI runs on the on-site edge server, which works without internet, or in the Woodcock AI Cloud.

  6. 6

    Alarm and app

    Push notification, email or SMS delivers the alert with the video clip to the people you choose.

Every camera, every risk, every hour. On the cameras you already own.

Detection

One platform. Every risk your cameras can see

Fire safety, security and health and safety from the same cameras, the same platform and the same app. Alerts tell you what happened and why, not just that something moved.

Smoke and fire detection

Video smoke detection for large, open and dusty spaces where point detectors struggle. Self-learning AI adapts to each camera's view and tells smoke from fog, dust and steam.

  • Faint smoke or small flames flagged within seconds on the edge server
  • Indoors and outdoors, day and night
Smoke and fire detection

Intrusion and human detection

Real-time alerts for people entering restricted zones or breaching the site after hours. Self-learning AI fitted to your site cuts out the nuisance of motion alerts.

Intrusion detection

PPE compliance

Safety modules such as PPE detection, where supported, confirmed in your site assessment. Alerts arrive with the clip attached.

PPE detection

Vehicles and any object

People, vehicles and everyday objects such as backpacks. Tell us what you want to watch for and we will tell you honestly what it can do.

Any object detection

Ask your cameras

Plain-English video descriptions explain what happened, and you can ask direct questions about what your cameras have seen, then download the exact clip you need.

More questions in the FAQ

Talk to the teamoffice@woodcock.aiTechnical support & customer services, open 24 hours, Mon to Sun
Will it work with my existing cameras?
Very likely. Woodcock AI works with most ONVIF and RTSP IP cameras and many legacy DVR and NVR systems. Any ONVIF or RTSP camera or recorder typically connects by entering its username and password. If your cameras are on a closed manufacturer system, we can advise on a compatible upgrade.
What can Woodcock AI detect?
Smoke and fire, intrusion and people, vehicles, safety modules such as PPE detection, where supported, confirmed in your site assessment, and plain-English descriptions of what each camera sees.
Edge or cloud: which do I need?
The edge server processes video on your local network, responds within seconds, keeps footage on site and works without internet. The Woodcock AI Cloud needs no NVR and gives you central monitoring, remote management and 60-day cloud recording. Sites on restricted 4G or 5G connections usually suit the on-site unit.
How quickly are alerts sent, and how?
Within seconds. Alerts go out by push notification, email or SMS, each with the video clip and a plain-English description. Alerts to a monitoring centre (ARC) and phone-call alerts are available as optional add-ons. You can set polygon detection zones and alert schedules for each camera.
Does it replace our certified fire alarm?
No. Woodcock AI adds a visual early-warning layer to your CCTV. It complements, and does not replace, certified fire detection systems or statutory health and safety procedures.
What happens during the free site assessment and trial?
We review your CCTV system and site risks, then configure selected cameras to monitor them during a trial period. You get alerts and event clips to review so you can judge it on your own site, with no obligation to continue.
I'm an installer. Can I resell it under my own brand?
Yes. Woodcock AI can be fully white-labelled so the app carries your logo and colours. We provide the technology, backend platform and ongoing support in the background. See the partner programme.
