USE CASES
AI camera monitoring for every kind of site.
A parking lot at 2 a.m. and a lobby at 9 a.m. are different jobs. Semaphor adapts to the site your guards are actually watching.
Different sites. Same monitoring screen.
Every site type has its own rhythm. A construction site is loud and busy until the crews leave, then it should be empty. A lobby is full of people all day, and almost all of them belong there. A warehouse yard has trucks moving at hours when an office campus is dark. The guard watching the video wall has to carry all of that context in their head, camera by camera, shift after shift.
Semaphor gives that guard a second set of eyes. It works from the monitoring screens your team already uses, separates each camera pane, detects people and vehicles, and brings forward the activity worth a look, with the original evidence and an AI scene report beside it. The guard decides what happens next. No new cameras, no new VMS, no integration project with a camera vendor.
The pages below go site by site: where the cameras usually sit, what guards actually watch for, which events matter and which nuisance activity doesn’t, the camera and layout problems that make monitoring hard (night scenes, glare, wide shots, cycling camera tours), and how Semaphor fits the post orders you already run. Pick the sites closest to your contracts.
