About

Rimward helps operators of solar farms and other remote outdoor infrastructure detect intrusions from existing camera networks. We turn existing CCTV into operator-ready alerts with video verification, so security teams can reduce false alarms, respond faster, and avoid heavy hardware retrofits. We are focused on sites where recurring theft, perimeter intrusion, and low staffing make traditional monitoring noisy and operationally weak. Our approach is software-heavy, field-oriented, and built to work with real site constraints.
