FEATURES
Every feature, built around the guard.
Semaphor turns the monitoring screen your guards already watch into focused alerts with original evidence and AI context. Each feature below does one job in that loop.
Most security analytics start with a shopping list: new cameras, a new VMS, a license tier, an integration project. Semaphor starts with the screen your guard is already looking at. Every feature on this page runs on top of your existing camera software, and every one of them serves the same person — the guard on post, or the operator at a video wall covering sites they have never walked.
The features fall into three jobs. See every camera: pane separation, feed identity and local person and vehicle detection keep watch on every tile, including the ones nobody is looking at. Surface what matters: event routing, duplicate suppression, alert-first delivery and priority levels put the right camera at the top of the queue without burying the guard in repeats. Decide with evidence: AI scene reports, original frames with hashes and a guard inbox let the guard acknowledge, review and close with confidence.
No feature takes the decision away from the guard. The AI writes the report; your people decide what happens next.
01Keep the camera software you already use.Add AI to the cameras and VMS you already run. Semaphor works from the monitoring screen: no camera credentials, no vendor API, no rip-and-replace.→02Person and vehicle detectionLocal AI person and vehicle detection on every camera tile your guards watch, with tracks, still-person rechecks and gap recovery. See how it works.→03Alert first. Explain second.Semaphor shows guards a preliminary camera alert immediately, then the AI review updates the same card. No waiting on AI to see that something moved.→04An AI scene report on every alert.Semaphor’s vision-language AI writes a scene report for every camera alert: summary, observations, recommendation and uncertainty, beside the evidence.→05Alert prioritizationSemaphor ranks camera alerts Critical, High, Unassessed and Low, with guard overrides that always win. See how guards work the most urgent card first.→06Evidence and audit trailEvery Semaphor alert keeps original frames with SHA-256 and perceptual hashes, exportable manifests and bounded retention. Build incident reports on it.→07Camera view trackingSemaphor separates every camera pane and follows each view as your video wall cycles, resizes and rearranges, with coverage gaps made explicit. See how.→08Duplicate alert suppressionStop the same parked car from alerting all night. Semaphor’s event routing, cooldowns and duplicate suppression keep the guard inbox focused. See how.→09A guard inbox built for camera alerts.One inbox for every camera alert: acknowledge, review evidence and close events after review. See how Semaphor keeps guards in control.→10Security and privacyLocal processing, verified HTTPS for hosted AI, no camera credentials, no facial recognition and bounded retention. See how Semaphor protects your footage.→
