Meet the Fortix AI Agents: Six Specialists Watching Your Cameras
Most AI video analytics is sold as one generic product and left to the customer to configure. A council fighting fly-tipping and a distribution centre chasing forklift near-misses end up with the same box, the same settings and the same disappointment. We rebuilt the way Fortix AI is packaged around a simple idea: your cameras should be watched by something that already understands your world. That is what the agents are. Six specialists, each tuned to a sector, each running the detection models, zones and alert rules that sector actually needs. Warden: council enforcement Warden watches lay-bys, bring sites and problem hotspots for fly-tipping and dumping as it happens, capturing vehicle and plate evidence in the same moment. Enforcement teams get an alert and a usable evidence pack instead of a report filed three days later by a resident. Foreman: construction safety Foreman gives health and safety teams eyes on every site. It catches PPE breaches and exclusion zone entries the moment they happen, flags plant and pedestrian conflicts, and gives site managers the footage to act on the same shift rather than after an incident report. Sentinel: commercial security Sentinel turns every camera into an on-duty guard. It flags intrusions, weapons and suspicious behaviour continuously and hands operators verified alerts with linked video, so the alarms that reach a human are real ones rather than another hedge moving in the wind. Watchman: warehouse and logistics Watchman covers safety and security across yards, docks and floors. Forklift near-misses, PPE breaches and unauthorised access are surfaced as they happen, so shift managers can intervene before an incident becomes a claim or a loss. Prefect: education safeguarding Prefect watches corridors, gates and perimeters for schools and colleges. It catches weapons, aggression and after-hours intrusion, and alerts safeguarding leads and premises teams with the evidence attached. Prefect is currently in early access. Keeper: retail loss prevention Keeper watches every camera across a retail estate, catching concealment and till skips as they occur and sharing offender watchlists between stores, so loss prevention teams work high-value cases instead of floor-walking. Keeper is also in early access. Why agents rather than settings Three things change when the product arrives as an agent rather than a blank platform. The models are already the right ones for the environment, so nobody spends a fortnight tuning sensitivity. The alerts are written in the language of the team receiving them, whether that is an enforcement officer, a site manager or a safeguarding lead. And the outputs match the paperwork that follows, because an evidence pack for a fly-tipping prosecution is not the same document as an incident log for a warehouse. Everything else stays as it was. The agents run on the cameras you already own, cloud or edge, and alerts land on mobile, by email or in the portal. Where to start Pick the agent that matches your world and read how it works, then get a proposal built around your sites and camera count. Most deployments connect existing cameras without new hardware.
