Live pilot, France
Intrusion alerts your supervision team can actually trust.
Rimward turns existing CCTV into intrusion alerts for supervision teams — with a measured false-positive budget and nightly site reliability reports. No rip-and-replace.
Read-only on your CCTV • No new hardware required to start

Fit
Where Rimward fits
Built for monitored outdoor sites where existing cameras still leave operators with too much uncertainty.
When you need clearer signal from the video you already have.
- Solar farms and other remote outdoor technical sites
- Existing camera coverage or VMS already in place
- Internal supervision able to review alerts and escalate
- Recurring intrusion, copper theft, or costly false-alert noise
Rimward is not built for these contexts.
- Residential security
- Indoor environments
- Heavily public-facing locations
- Sites without usable camera coverage
- Teams with no supervision or escalation chain
The problem
The cameras are already there. The operator burden remains.
The issue is not adding more video. The issue is turning existing coverage into fast, usable decisions.
Recurring intrusion and copper theft
Remote solar and technical sites stay exposed outside staffed hours.
False-alert burden
Supervision teams lose time and trust when low-signal alerts pile up.
Operational cost of delay
Slow verification means slower response, higher recovery cost, and more exposure after an incident.
How it works
Every alert closes a loop.
Rimward works on top of existing CCTV. Each alert ships with the evidence and labels needed to decide quickly — and feeds the next round of tuning.

Why Rimward
Built for remote outdoor sites, not generic surveillance.
The goal is not more dashboards. The goal is fewer false alerts and faster decisions on the sites that matter.
Measured false-positive budget
A site-level false-positive target agreed up front and tracked weekly — not a vague promise.
Works on existing CCTV / VMS
Start from installed cameras with read-only connectivity. No rip-and-replace.
Built for remote outdoor sites
Tuned for outdoor PV — wildlife, vegetation, glare, weather — not indoor corporate scenes.
Audit-ready evidence
Every alert ships with clip, zone, classification reason, operator decision, and outcome.
Software layer for intrusion detection and video verification on top of your existing monitoring stack.
Best-fit sectors
Built first for solar farms, then adjacent outdoor infrastructure.
Primary focus
Solar farms
Remote sites exposed to copper theft, perimeter intrusion, and low staffing outside working hours.
Also relevant
Energy storage
Battery and power sites with existing cameras, clear zones, and internal supervision.
Also relevant
Inland port logistics
Outdoor yards where gate, fence-line, and asset-area verification matter.
Pilot
What a pilot includes
1
Read-only connection to a small set of cameras on the zones that matter.
2
Agree schedules, zones, escalation rules, and a false-positive target with the supervision team.
3
Receive intrusion alerts with the full evidence package: clip, zone, timestamp, and classification reason.
4
Nightly site reliability report and weekly tuning review against the agreed false-positive target.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do you work with our existing cameras / VMS, or do we need to replace anything?
Yes. Rimward connects read-only to your current CCTV via RTSP or your VMS. Mixed camera brands, uneven image quality, and constrained connectivity are normal on the sites we work with. No rip-and-replace required.
Is Rimward relevant if we already have remote monitoring in place?
Yes. Rimward is built for teams that already monitor sites but still struggle with false-alert volume, slow video verification, or missed intrusion events.
What's required to start a pilot?
A handful of cameras (typically 3–8), a site contact, and access to live feeds or recent footage. A good pilot also requires usable coverage on the zones that matter and a team able to review alerts and escalate when needed.
How is success measured during the pilot?
Site-level reliability: a false-positive-per-night target agreed with your team up front, alert latency, and operator-confirmed true positives. Each alert is marked as true, false positive, unclear, maintenance, or escalated — and reviewed weekly against the target.
How do you keep false-alert noise under control outdoors?
We don't ship raw detections. Alerts are tied to zones and schedules, then tuned during the pilot using operator feedback. Every false positive is labeled with a reason — wildlife, vegetation, weather, glare, authorized person, vehicle, camera issue, or scene change — so site policy improves week over week.
What happens when an intrusion is detected?
Operators receive an intrusion alert with a short clip, the triggering zone, a timestamp, and a classification reason. They dismiss, mute, or escalate with enough context to make a fast decision. Intervention stays with your existing monitoring or response chain.
What sites are the best fit?
Primarily solar farms and other remote outdoor technical sites with existing camera coverage, internal supervision, and recurring intrusion or copper-theft exposure. Rimward is not designed for residential, indoor, or heavily public-facing environments.
How is pricing structured after the pilot?
Typically per site or per camera bundle, based on monitored zones and alert volume. The pilot is a short, fixed scope; afterward we deliver a production plan with clear recommendations on coverage, infrastructure, and cost.
