For
Businesses with existing security cameras
Worth noticing
Its “watchman’s code” uses symbols such as footsteps for someone appearing and a sun for “no news.”

Field notes

The proposed service works with cameras a business already has and sends a phone alert with a photo when activity appears concerning. Its “watchman’s code” maps the night through symbols: a moon for a closed business, footsteps for someone appearing, a door for where they entered, and a sun for no news. Creator Burke Campbell identifies the project as made in Copán Ruinas and still in pilot testing.
