How alerts reach you

Four ways to hear about it. You pick.

Alerts are tailored to you. Choose which detections matter on each camera, set a schedule for when you want to hear about them, and pick how the alert reaches you. Each alert comes with the clip.

  • Alert scheduling, so a busy car park at lunchtime doesn't ping you, but the same car park at 3am does
  • Detection classes and areas set per camera
  • Keep the app running to receive push alerts

Which devices does the app run on?
Woodcock AI has an app for Apple and Android phones and tablets.
Do I need new cameras?

How will I get alerts?
By push notification, email, SMS or phone call, with the clip. You choose the detections that matter on each camera and set an alert schedule.
What does the AI description do?
Each event comes with a short written description of what the camera saw, for example “One person walking in a blue shirt on the right side.” You know what happened before you open the clip.
Can I choose what each camera looks for?
Yes. In each camera's settings you can draw a detection area and choose detection classes. These include people, vehicles (cars, motorcycles, bicycles, buses and trucks), animals and belongings such as backpacks, handbags and suitcases.
How long is footage kept?
Footage is backed up to the cloud for 60 days, with custom retention options. You can scrub back through continuous recordings and download event clips as MP4 files.
