Will it work with my existing cameras?
Very likely. Woodcock AI connects to approximately 97% of the world's CCTV IP cameras and legacy DVR systems. Any ONVIF or RTSP camera or recorder from 360p to 8K 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, PPE such as hard hats and hi-vis, slips, trips and falls, aggression and violence, water and leaks, and over 1,200 object classes. We can also train custom models for your site, from gauge readings to bin levels.
Edge or cloud: which do I need?
The edge server processes video on your local network, responds in under four seconds, keeps footage on site and works without internet. It also has relay outputs for fire panels. 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, SMS or phone call, each with the video clip and a plain-English description. 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 for 30 days. 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.
