Founding pilot partners — 2026 cohort now open

See everything you're responsible for.

Sightline turns the cameras and sensors you already own — traffic, CCTV, plant floor, structural gauges — into one AI that catches incidents in seconds, verifies them on the nearest feed, and hands your team a decision with the proof attached.

Connect. Detect. Act. Prove it.

Most operations are already covered in cameras and sensors that nobody can watch in real time. Sightline doesn't ask you to buy new eyes — it teaches the ones you have to speak up, and writes down everything they saw, so every alert stands as evidence. We're now looking for a handful of partners to prove it out, side by side.

How it works

Four steps. About a week to first value.

No rip-and-replace, no control room to staff. Sightline layers onto the infrastructure you already run.

01

Connect what you own

Point Sightline at your existing cameras and sensors — ONVIF, RTSP, or your current VMS. An edge box plugs into the recorder you already have. Nothing gets ripped out.

02

It learns what's normal

The AI baselines each feed — traffic rhythms, a line's cadence, a bridge's vibration signature — so it can tell a real event from ordinary noise.

03

It verifies real events

When something happens, Sightline confirms it on a second camera or sensor before it ever bothers a person — so you get signal, not a wall of false alarms.

04

You act with proof

The right person gets an alert with the clip, the location, and the recommended next step — and every decision is sealed to an audit trail you can defend later.

The platform — Beacon™

One screen instead of a wall of monitors.

SAME PLATFORM, TUNED TO YOUR SITE · LIVE INCIDENTS · ASSET HEALTH · EVIDENCEWORKS WITH ONVIF / RTSP · CLOUD OR ON-PREM

Four sample views of the same Beacon console. In your pilot it's your cameras, your sites, and your team's workflow.

What Sightline watches for

One system. The things that actually go wrong.

Different sites, same idea: connect what's there, learn what's normal, and flag what isn't — with proof attached. Pilots usually start with one of these and grow from there.

COLLISION → DISPATCH

Roadway & traffic

Spots crashes, wrong-way drivers, stopped vehicles, and people in the road the moment they happen — confirms it on a second camera, and pushes it to 911/dispatch with the clip.

  • Faster response, fewer secondary crashes
  • Near-miss data for Vision-Zero planning
VIBRATION▼1.9%

Bridges & structures

Strain, tilt, and vibration sensors — read together with cameras and satellite settlement data — so a bridge, dam, or tower tells you it's changing long before it's a headline.

  • Early warning, not after-the-fact
  • Prioritize repairs by real condition
PPE OK LINE STOPPED 00:41

Factories & warehouses

The same plant cameras keep people safe — PPE zones, forklift near-misses, spills, early smoke — and keep the line honest, logging every stoppage and its reason straight into your OEE.

  • Downtime captured & reason-coded live
  • On-prem option — footage stays on site
PERSON · 02:41 → GUARD ALERTED

Perimeters & remote sites

Thermal and visual detection that knows a person from a deer at 2 a.m. A confirmed intrusion rings a phone with the clip attached — not a motion-alert inbox nobody reads.

  • Real intrusions, very few false alarms
  • Talk-down, lighting & guard dispatch hooks
AUTO PATROL · 4H

Drones for the gaps

Dock-based drones patrol on a schedule and launch themselves when an event needs a closer look — reaching the stacks, spans, riverbanks, and rooftops no fixed camera can see.

  • Eyes on scene in about 90 seconds
  • RTK survey & thermal inspection built in
RIVER RISING · WATCH

Utilities & environment

Rising rivers, encroaching vegetation, digging over a pipeline, a transformer running hot — pulled from gauges, fiber sensing, satellites, and thermal patrols into alerts with lead time.

  • Flood, wildfire-risk & storm readiness
  • Protect crews and keep the lights on
A day in the life

What this looks like on a real site.

Four moments a pilot partner might see in the first month — the kind of thing that used to be found out too late, or never written down at all.

3:12 AM · Highway on-ramp

A wrong-way driver enters the freeway

A car turns up the off-ramp against traffic. Sightline flags it on the ramp camera, confirms it on the next two poles, and opens a live track for the state DOT and dispatch — before the driver reaches the mainline.

Troopers are positioned ahead of the driver, not writing a report after a crash. Minutes that matter, bought back.
2:47 PM · Assembly line 2

The line stops for 41 seconds

A jam halts production. The plant camera already watching that station logs the stoppage the instant it happens and tags a likely cause — no operator note, no clipboard, no guesswork at the end of the shift.

The 41 seconds is in the OEE report automatically, with the reason attached — so the real downtime drivers finally get fixed.
2 WEEKS LATER · River bridge

A bridge starts to change after a flood

The main span's vibration signature drifts 1.9%. On its own it's nothing; Sightline connects it to the storm, the widening crack sensor, and a few millimeters of settlement — and books a drone to look for scour under the pier.

A developing failure becomes a work order — weeks before it would have become an emergency closure.
2:41 AM · Substation perimeter

Someone crosses the fence

Motion at a remote substation. Instead of a generic alert, thermal and visual together confirm it's a person — not a raccoon, not swaying brush — and capture a clean clip of the approach.

A guard's phone rings with the clip attached — a verified intrusion, not another false alarm to ignore.
City-scale monitoring

Your city already owns ten thousand eyes.

Traffic poles, transit platforms, school entrances, storefronts, public-works yards — the cameras are already deployed. Sightline federates them into one picture: city systems stream live, private partners opt in with event-gated access, and drones fill the gaps between.

BEACON CITY CAMERASPRIVATE — OPT-INDRONE PATROL
City systems stream live.

Traffic, transit, schools, and public-works cameras connect through ONVIF/RTSP or your current VMS — and incidents launch straight into 911/CAD.

Private cameras opt in — on their terms.

Businesses and residents join a registry or integrate with event-gated access: their feed opens to operators only during a verified nearby incident, and every view is logged.

Drones cover what fixed cameras can't.

Docked drones patrol corridors and riverbanks and launch automatically when an unverified event needs eyes in about ninety seconds.

Watchful, not invasive — privacy is built in.
No facial recognition.

Beacon detects events — a collision, a fall, smoke — not identities. Face recognition is off at the platform level.

Access only around events.

Partner feeds open only during a verified incident, for its duration. No standing live access to private cameras.

Redaction by default.

Faces and plates are auto-blurred in review; originals unlock only with documented case authority.

Every view is logged.

Searches and exports are attributed and can't be edited after the fact — the system watches the watchers.

Footage expires on a clock.

Retention defaults are published, configurable, and enforced automatically unless held to a case.

Community governance.

Transparency portal, usage stats, and CCOPS-style controls — councils set the rules the software enforces.

Decentralized foundation

A network of witnesses. No single point of failure.

Sightline isn't one fragile cloud watching everything. It's a decentralized mesh of independently owned, verified nodes — city cameras, partner feeds, sensor arrays, drone docks — each proven at enrollment and each signing what it captures. Trust isn't assumed. It's verified, per node, per frame.

2 NODES MUST AGREE BEFORE AN ALERT CITY CAM PARTNER SENSORS DRONE DOCK OFFLINE — REROUTED BEACON SIGNED PROOF →
Enroll, attest, then trust.

Every device joins with a hardware-backed identity and a calibration proof. An unknown camera or a tampered sensor simply can't get in — nothing unsigned is accepted.

Truth by agreement, not by decree.

An alert becomes real when independent nodes corroborate it — a second angle, or a sensor that felt what a camera saw. One faked device can't invent an incident; one blind spot can't hide one.

Trusted resources plug in.

Vetted contributors — businesses, camera owners, drone operators, sensor networks — connect verified capacity to the mesh and keep detecting through outages, because the network routes around any node that drops.

Event-driven intelligence

Most monitoring waits for a schedule. Ours listens.

Beacon subscribes to a live stream of events — camera detections, sensor readings, weather, telemetry, satellite passes — and correlates them by place and time. When signals line up, the response is already moving.

Under the hood

Every way the physical world can be measured, fused.

Cameras see events. Sensors feel structure. Satellites watch the ground itself move. Sightline runs the full stack — and checks every layer against the others.

Edge Vision AI

Detection runs on or beside the cameras you own — ONVIF/RTSP, any major VMS — classifying collisions, people, smoke, spills, and stoppages without shipping raw video anywhere.

Existing cameras · on-prem option

Sensor Fusion

A correlation engine ties detections together by location and time — so a camera hit, a strain spike, and a weather cell become one incident, not three tickets.

Same place · same time · sub-second

Structural Sensing

Vibrating-wire strain gauges, tiltmeters, crackmeters, and accelerometer arrays — plus fiber-optic sensing that turns a buried cable into thousands of listening points.

Vibration signatures · fiber

Satellite & InSAR

Radar satellites measure millimeter-scale ground movement across whole corridors — settlement and scour trends no ground network could afford to blanket.
