Trespassing & burglary
Turn possible unwanted access into an alert, incident record and agreed response. Your team reviews exceptions without watching a screen all night.

A person arrives by scooter, waits, then follows a resident through the entrance. Darkfield connects the sequence and checks your access rules before starting the agreed response.
The approach is recorded.
No delivery package is visible.
Darkfield connects the entry to the wait.
Darkfield gathers the arrival, wait and entry clips into a timeline for review. Having no parcel is context, not proof of wrongdoing.
Possible unauthorised entry at the main entrance.
A person in a dark hoodie rides up to the main entrance.
Parks the scooter by the planter and waits outside. No delivery package is visible.
Enters through the door held open by a resident, after waiting 3 minutes 16 seconds. The scooter stays outside.
Set the response: log the event, alert your team or dispatch an optional mobile patrol. Require a check before dispatch if needed; Darkfield keeps the clips, timeline and outcome together.
For covered sites, the target is arrival within 10 minutes of dispatch, not a guarantee. Agree coverage and response arrangements for your location.
Log the event without an alert.
Send the clip, location and context.
Send an optional patrol under your agreed rules.
Patrols are optional, subject to coverage and charged separately; your rules decide when to dispatch.
Flag damage, nuisance and persistent loitering for review.
Darkfield checks footage against confirmed site activity and the context you provide. Unclear permission is flagged with the evidence for a person to review.
Yes, where cameras cover the route. Darkfield can join the approach, entry, departure and relevant vehicle sightings into one timeline.
Darkfield gathers the clips and timeline into one report, then saves it, alerts your team or sends it to mobile security under your agreed rules. Share the report with police or community protection teams when appropriate.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
