Turn camera activity into real-time alerts, physical actions, data and insights.
No one needs to watch every feed. Your team sets the rules, reviews what matters and can take over.
Yard cameraUse plain English to choose what triggers an alert or action. Your team approves the rules and decides when a person must review.
“If this bay stays blocked for ten minutes, alert the site team and open a task.”
Check the loading bay and time the obstruction.
After ten minutes, alert the team and create a task through an approved connection.
Record the time, clip and duration for the operations report.
Illustrative workflows. Your team approves the actions before activation and can change the rules.
Review alerts, search clips and use activity records to understand what is happening across your sites.
Connect Darkfield units and compatible existing cameras. Turn activity into alerts, actions and records across your authorised network.
Courtyard cameraSearch retained footage and live observations with a description or number plate. Filter by time, site and camera.
Possible visual matchLink sightings across your authorised sites to spot repeat visits and activity patterns. Check the source clips before drawing conclusions.

Service yard · Vehicle candidateCompare colour, body shape and visible details, even when a plate is not visible.
Filter by time, site and camera. Review possible matches before acting.
Get alerts with the clip and rule attached. You choose the watchlists, zones and hours that matter.
Review possible matches before making consequential decisions.
Choose who can access each site, record and action. Cross-site search stays within your authorised network.
People review uncertain matches and consequential decisions. Authorised operators can take over, with an audit trail of activity.
Deployment, access and data controlUse approved connections to create tasks, update reports and send data to dashboards. You choose what Darkfield may read, write or trigger.
Check activity against authorised watchlists, staff rosters and delivery schedules.
Send event times, durations and observations to agreed reports, tasks and dashboards.
We check each connector, permission and workflow before activation. Supported MCP connections use agreed read and write access.
Choose hosting, camera connections and how long to keep records.
Run Darkfield on your premises or in your private cloud. Or choose managed hosting on a dedicated, isolated UK instance.
Configured Darkfield solar/4G units buffer locally for up to one week with power and enough storage. Remote services need connectivity.
Events and evidence clips stay for 30 days by default. Longer retention, including years, needs agreed storage, purpose and costs.
Use Darkfield cameras or connect compatible existing equipment.
Yes. Say, for example, “Alert the team when a loading bay is blocked for ten minutes”; we agree the cameras, timing, exceptions and action before activation, and your team can review clips, change the rule or pause it.
Try “Find the white van with a ladder”, “Show the person with an olive backpack” or “Find motorcycles near the entrance last Friday after 10pm”. Add a time or place, then review the matching clips; no plate is needed to start.
Darkfield connects to supported systems through MCP (Model Context Protocol). We agree each system, data flow and permitted action—including separate read/write access and any approval step—before setup; compatibility is checked for your deployment.
It depends on the camera model: reliable plate capture needs specialised cameras, and some models have limited integration options. Send the make and model so we can confirm supported features.
You set the sites, users, rules and permitted actions. Role-based access and audit logs support oversight. Authorised operators can pause or override the system. Review visual matches; they do not confirm identity.
Cameras capture people, vehicles and readable plates; Darkfield searches visible details and activity, such as standing by a wall or spraying graffiti. Clothing, vehicle features and colours depend on the view and lighting, and a visual match is not proof of identity.
Your feedback helps Darkfield recognise routine arrivals, deliveries and other site activity. Confirm an event or correct a decision to help reduce repeated unnecessary alerts.
The supplied-camera service covers survey, installation, cameras, software, maintenance and faulty-camera replacement. Your proposal sets hosting, integrations and storage charges; mobile security is an optional add-on, charged per genuine-incident call-out, and keyholding is separate.
The camera subscription keeps the network working after installation, covering connection, software, maintenance and camera replacement. Your proposal sets out hosting, integration, storage and optional response costs.
Compare equipment, installation, monitoring, servicing, repairs and replacement, without counting staff time already covered by monitoring twice. Our calculator compares camera-service costs; hosting, integrations, storage and optional response are scoped separately in your proposal.
Yes. Start with one entrance, car park or recurring problem, then add coverage as your needs grow. We assess each location without asking you to replace everything.
One point of contact helps you agree cameras, hosting, recording, access and permitted actions. We install and test any supplied cameras, then your team reviews the rules and approval steps before activation.
We handle survey, installation and sign-off. We agree the views and mounting points with you, starting with entrances, exits and the areas that need attention.
Our solar site cameras use LTE, without new power cables or access to your IT network; we check daylight, mobile coverage and mounting first. Doorbells, drone docks and other equipment have separate requirements confirmed in your site plan.
No. We agree access and camera positions beforehand and tell you when the installers will arrive; you are welcome to meet them.
We check views, image quality, charging and connection, and adjust camera positions where needed. Billing and user access begin after validation; maintenance and replacement cover starts at installation.
We monitor camera health and send a team member when an on-site fix is needed. Maintenance and replacement of faulty, damaged or stolen cameras are included in the service.
You choose the contacts and response rules during setup. Darkfield can save the event, alert your team or dispatch mobile security under the agreed workflow, with clips, times and location attached.
Yes. Add mobile security response to Darkfield AI monitoring. A patrol can be dispatched automatically or after a check, depending on your agreed workflow. Coverage spans 99.8% of UK postcodes. We confirm local cover and response arrangements for your address before activation. For covered sites, the target is arrival within 10 minutes of dispatch; arrival is not guaranteed. Traffic, weather and incident conditions can affect it.
Ask the Darkfield assistant for everyday tasks. Videos, guides and training through your point of contact help your team use more advanced features.
Contact your Darkfield point of contact for help with cameras, software or the service. They know your site and can bring in the wider team.
Only authorised users can see footage, with access limited by site and role and supported by audit logs. You set permissions for your team, support and integrations; sharing one incident does not give access to the rest of your cameras.
Events and short evidence clips stay for 30 days by default. Keep recordings, events and evidence for years where needed, with an agreed purpose and enough storage. Continuous recording, capacity, retention and costs are set per deployment. Search covers retained footage and observations; years of storage are not included in every plan.
Run Darkfield on your premises or in your private cloud. Or choose managed hosting on a dedicated, isolated UK instance. We agree storage locations and outbound connections; data is encrypted in transit and at rest, with access for authorised users only. See the Security Whitepaper for details.
Darkfield supports UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018; Linox Ltd is ICO-registered under ZC175057, which is not certification of your installation. The DPA sets out our responsibilities and yours, including camera purpose, notices, access and retention.
Yes. Share a report with relevant clips, times and an incident summary with authorised recipients, including police, without opening access to every camera; supported sharing links have access controls and expiry.
