Everything it does, on the cameras you have.

Connect a camera, turn detection on and write the rules that matter to you. Sightline does the watching, and keeps a record you can show.

The live view, with what it found.

Every camera with detection on shows its boxes on the live picture, each labelled with what was found. Turn the boxes off to see the plain picture.

Beside it, a timeline fills with what was detected, for your plan’s retention, and exports to CSV.

Rules you write as sentences.

Draw a zone on the camera’s picture, pick People or Vehicles, and set the seconds and the hours: People inside Rear lot for 10 seconds, 10 pm to 6 am. Seen, In a zone, Too many and Stopped cover most of what operators ask for.

Before you save a rule, Sightline runs it over the last six hours and says how many incidents it would have opened, and for how much of that time the camera was being detected. Every rule says whether it can fire right now, and why not.

One incident for one event.

A met rule opens an incident with a clip from a few seconds before to a few seconds after, a thumbnail and the rule that fired. While the thing stays, or returns within ten minutes, it is the same incident, and nobody is told twice.

Open incidents wait in Needs you until someone acknowledges them. Acknowledge, close and write a note in one place, and see who did.

Alerts where your people already are.

Email to the members you pick, a Slack channel, or a signed web request to any system that can receive one. In the app, an incident can play one of ten sounds of our own, normal or urgent.

People set their own quiet hours, and a normal alert waits for them to end; a rule marked urgent reaches people in their quiet hours. Which channels a plan includes is on the pricing page.

Reports you can hand to someone.

Reports are made by code from what was recorded, weekly or for any range, as a PDF. Each opens with the hours every camera was being detected and the gaps, with their reasons, and no setting removes that.

A report never says a site was clear, compliant or certified. It is a record of what was monitored and what was done.

Every camera on the map.

Give a camera its position, height and direction, and its detections land on the map, filtered by class and time.

Your whole watch, at no cost a seat.

Invite every operator by email. Admins decide where alerts go and what the organization pays; members watch, write rules and work incidents. Seats are never charged.

Recordings, and everything out.

Upload a recording, with a telemetry file for a camera that moves such as a drone, and it is looked through once and kept like a camera’s detections. Export detections as CSV or GeoJSON, and reports as PDF, before they age out.

Coming, and not before it works.

  • Smoke and fire, once our own model finds them.
  • Text messages, once a carrier approves us.
