Security & privacy
Your footage stays yours.
Fire Watch is designed to run on-premise, store only what safety review needs, and log every access.
Posture
Privacy and security by design
On-premise deployment
Runs on a local machine or edge box on your network. No cloud dependency required for Phase 1.
No facial recognition
Fire Watch detects obstructions and equipment access, not people's identities — no facial recognition or identity analytics.
Role-based access
Admin, safety officer, operator, and viewer roles scope who can see and act on what.
Evidence, not surveillance
Stores event metadata and snapshots — not continuous recordings. Retention is configurable.
Audit logging
Every status change, report export, and configuration change is recorded for traceability.
Credential hygiene
Camera stream credentials are stored as secrets and never displayed or logged in plain text.
Compliance
Works within your obligations
Fire Watch is a complement to — never a replacement for — your certified fire-safety systems and your data-protection obligations. Deployments follow local law and your workplace policies, including signage and consent where required.
