AI CCTV and intruder detection in Jalandhar
Jalandhar is an export town, and the security problem here follows the money: finished goods worth lakhs sitting in a small store beside a busy production floor, in a building where three families have worked for two generations and nobody thinks to lock the internal door. Add the Doaba pattern of houses standing empty for months while the owners are abroad, and the city needs two different kinds of alert. It is a short run up the GT Road from our Ludhiana base, which puts it on the regular installation and support circuit.

What we typically see in Jalandhar
- Export houses where a finished-goods store worth lakhs sits behind a single latch, and the camera watching it is never actually watched.
- Gates where staff, job-work loaders and buyers arrive in the same ten minutes, and the register cannot tell one from another.
- Locked family houses in the Doaba belt that need an alert the family can act on from Vancouver or Milan, not footage to review later.
Where the risk sits in Jalandhar
Four belts, four different problems. The pattern below is geography and industry, not a claim about work we have done here.
Basti Nau and the sports-goods cluster
Small multi-storey units with production on one floor and finished stock on another, connected by a common stair that suppliers, job-workers and family all use. Nothing here needs a perimeter alarm; what it needs is a camera that knows the difference between a face it has seen for eleven years and a face it has never seen, and that says so while the person is still on the stair.
Focal Point and the forging shops
Larger compounds, machinery running two shifts, scrap and finished tools both stacked in the open yard. The theft that hurts is not dramatic — it is material walking out with a legitimate vehicle at a legitimate hour. Number-plate logging at the gate turns that into a record somebody can check against the dispatch book.
The Leather Complex on Kapurthala Road
Chemical processes, wet floors, and workers whose hands rule out any contact sensor. Attendance and hygiene-zone access are the live questions here, and both run off cameras that are usually already mounted at the entrance.
Rainak Bazaar and the old-city wholesale
Shutters down at eight, deliveries at six, and a lane too narrow for anyone to see the far end. After-hours shutter activity is the alert that matters, and it has to reach a phone rather than sound a siren in a residential lane.
Staff attendance in Jalandhar
Jalandhar pays by the piece. A sports-goods unit stitching footballs, a forging shop turning out spanners, a leather works cutting uppers — all of them settle wages against output and hours together, and most run a core staff alongside job-work hands who come and go with the order book. That is the exact combination fingerprint readers handle worst. Forging and buffing leave ridges worn flat, tanning chemicals and adhesives coat the fingertips, and a reader that rejects one worker in six turns the gate into an argument at shift change. Reading faces off the entrance camera removes the device and the queue together, and a job-work hand can be enrolled from a phone in under a minute on the morning they start rather than waiting for the supervisor with the enrolment machine.

Upgrading CCTV you already have
The camera assessment starts remotely from your recorder’s streams, so it does not wait for a site visit. What the software needs on site — the processing unit, setup and any camera changes — is confirmed and itemised in the quote.

- Security Basics
Rice shellers and grain mandis: seasonal labour and stock
For a few weeks each procurement season, a mandi or rice sheller triples its headcount and stacks its yard full of bags worth more than the rest of the year's stock combined. Why the security plan that works in the off-season falls apart exactly when it matters most.
- Security Basics
Housing society gates: visitors, vehicles and accountability
The visitor register at most housing society gates is a formality nobody checks until something goes wrong. What a gate actually needs to record, and why the argument over who can watch the footage matters as much as the cameras themselves.
- Security Basics
Jewellery retail security: layered, not just more cameras
Most jewellery shops respond to a scare by adding cameras at the door. The bigger gaps are usually at the counter, the strongroom and the street outside — and inside the staff roster, handled fairly.
- Security Basics
Cold storage: cameras, doors and the cost of a door left open
In cold storage, a door left open for ten minutes is a bigger loss than most thefts. What camera-based door monitoring actually catches, and where a plain door sensor still does the job better.

AI CCTV in Jalandhar — common questions
Will this work on the DVRs already in Jalandhar's older factory buildings?
Usually yes. Most units here run Hikvision, CP Plus or Dahua recorders installed in the last decade, and any of those will hand over an RTSP stream, which is all PGAK needs. The genuine question is camera placement, not camera brand: a camera aimed down a stairwell from ceiling height sees the tops of heads, and no software recovers a face from that. The free audit tells you which of your existing cameras are usable for recognition and which are only good for general recording, before you spend anything.
Our workers change with the order book. How fast can we add someone?
Under a minute, from a phone, at the gate. That matters more in Jalandhar than raw speed at the reader, because a sports-goods or hand-tool unit taking on twenty job-work hands for a shipment cannot spare the supervisor for an afternoon of enrolments. Removing someone is just as quick when the order finishes.
Can it watch the finished-goods store without a person watching the screen?
That is the point of it. You mark the store as a restricted zone with the hours it should be empty, and anyone entering outside those hours puts an alert on your phone with the clip attached. Nobody has to sit in front of a wall of feeds, which is what makes it different from the DVR you already own.
We are abroad for months. Can the family in Canada get the alert?
Yes. Alerts go to whichever phones you add to the account, in any country, with the clip attached. For a locked house in the Doaba belt the useful configuration is a boundary line rather than motion detection, so a stray dog or a passing bike does not wake anyone at three in the morning but a person crossing the wall does.
