AI that watches the cameras you already have
So your team doesn’t have to.
HousingShield AI watches your existing camera feeds around the clock and alerts your team only when something needs a person to look. No new cameras, no guard wall, and no monthly monitoring contract.
HOW IT WORKS
Up and running in days, not months
From box open to AI monitoring, with very little for your IT team to do.
Install Bridge Device
We ship a pre-configured gateway. Plug it into your network switch. The connection is outbound only, so there are no inbound ports to open and very little for IT to manage.
Connect Your Cameras
Add your camera details in the dashboard. It works with Axis, Hanwha (Samsung), Hikvision, Dahua, LTS, and any ONVIF or RTSP camera already on site.
AI Goes Live
The AI begins watching every feed. Noise filtering cuts routine motion, so you see real events instead of constant noise.
Get Email Alerts
When something matters, your team gets an email right away. Review and acknowledge events in the live dashboard.
WHAT'S AVAILABLE TODAY
Shipping now
Every capability below is live in production today. Anything not on this list is on the roadmap below. Not yet available.
AI event detection with noise-gating
Noise-gating filters out routine motion so the dashboard surfaces real events, not constant noise.
Real-time email alerts
Critical events trigger email notifications to your team in near real time.
Live dashboard with acknowledge workflow
Review live cameras and events, acknowledge incidents, and track who responded.
Works on existing ONVIF/RTSP cameras
Plug into the cameras you already own: Axis, Hanwha, and any ONVIF or RTSP-compatible device.
Maintenance & offline awareness
The dashboard surfaces offline cameras and connection issues so you can fix them before they matter.
Secure WireGuard VPN gateway
A pre-configured WireGuard tunnel keeps camera traffic private and works behind any firewall. Outbound-only, no inbound ports.
User roles & access control
Per-user roles so operations staff, supervisors, and admins each see exactly what they should.
Weekly activity reports
Each week your team gets a plain-language email summary: the busiest times and places, after-hours activity, and anything worth a look. No digging through the dashboard.
AI activity insights
The system learns what is normal for each camera over time, then flags activity that stands out for that location, so your team's attention goes where it matters.
A real alert: the moment it fired, frozen, with the exact camera, time, and place.

Housing authorities: setup and monitoring may be eligible for HUD Emergency Safety & Security funding, so costs can come from capital/grant dollars rather than the operating budget.
Industry estimates: roughly 90% less than a 24/7 on-site guard, and well below typical remote video-monitoring rates of $50 to $150 per camera. We are $25 to $30.
