Rimward in action

Three questions, answered.

The same cameras, checked continuously. Each team gets the answer it was missing.

Site manager

Does the moved camera still cover the fence?

Rimward compares every camera with the site’s baseline, day and night. When one moves or drops, the site plan shows the stretch of fence it no longer covers.

Callout spend is up again. Which were real?

Animals, weather and camera glitches stay out of your monitoring team’s queue. A person or vehicle in a protected zone arrives as one event, with every camera that saw it.

Questions we get asked

Will it work on our sites?

How Rimward fits your cameras, connectivity and monitoring team.

We already have cameras, in a mix of brands and ages.

The normal case. Rimward starts with the cameras and recorders already on site and judges each one on what it delivers. Anything it cannot read is reported as unknown, never assumed ready.

Some of our sites have poor connectivity.

Cloud by default. Where connectivity is limited, an optional local gateway processes video on site.

A provider already monitors our sites.

Keep your monitoring provider. Authorized operators can review site events and evidence in Rimward.

What happens when it gets one wrong?

Every alert carries its reason, its confidence and the views it came from. A dismissal is recorded, not deleted, so a wrong call stays visible and reviewable.

For PV asset managers

Start with one site.

Pick the site that worries you most. We agree what to assess, then show the camera and coverage gaps we find.

Request a site assessment

Free. No camera logins until the scope is agreed.

This fits if
  • You manage more than one solar site.
  • The cameras and recorders are already installed.
  • Someone is expected to respond at night.
What the assessment covers
  • Which cameras on that site are still useful, and which are not.
  • What the site cannot see, and what that leaves exposed.
  • What a qualified event on that site would look like.
