Shuls, yeshivas, and schools

AI security for Jewish institutions — on the cameras you already own

For shuls, yeshivas, and schools. AwareCam adds AI agents that watch for intrusion, after-hours activity, and other events you define — then alerts the people you choose.

IntrusionAfter-hoursPackagesParkingOccupancy

More entrances than people to watch them

Shuls, yeshivas, and schools run on small staffs and volunteers. Leadership cannot stand at every entrance, hallway, playground, classroom, and parking lot.

The cameras are often already there. What is missing is an agent that watches those feeds for the events you name, and tells the right person when one appears.

AwareCam is that layer. It does not replace your security committee, your security partner, or the life-safety systems the building is required to have.

How it works

Existing cameras, agents for the events you name, alerts to your people, and a typical setup of about 3–4 weeks.

1

Existing cameras

We start with the cameras already on the building.

2

Custom agents

Agents watch for the events your leadership cares about — intrusion, after-hours activity, packages, and the rest of your list.

3

Alerts to your people

Real-time alerts go to the people you choose, by WhatsApp, SMS, or email, with an image they can review.

4

Setup, then ongoing watch

A typical setup takes about 3–4 weeks. After go-live, alerts and evidence stay with the people you named.

What the agents can watch

These use your existing cameras. Alerts go to staff, the security committee, or your security partner. Police calls follow your protocol.

Intrusion

Alerts when someone enters a restricted or sensitive area, including outside the hours you set.

Loitering

Flags people lingering near entrances, parking areas, playgrounds, or the perimeter longer than you allow.

After-hours entry

Alerts when someone enters the building during the restricted times your leadership defines.

After-hours occupancy

Alerts if someone remains in a classroom, office, or hall after the scheduled closing time.

Occupancy in designated zones

Watches crowd formation and people counts in the zones you choose, and can note vehicle movement on the property.

Packages and deliveries

Detects a drop-off and can alert staff if a package stays unattended longer than you expect.

Vehicle presence

Notes vehicles entering, leaving, or lingering in the lot at unusual times or in patterns you define.

Optional and custom

Scoped with you for a specific site. Not turned on as a default for every institution.

License plate recognition

Optional. Where you want it, agents log known and unknown plates and arrivals or departures for that site.

Access-system integrations

Optional. Where your access system allows, lock or unlock rules can be part of a custom setup.

Lights, sirens, and loudspeakers

Optional workflows configured with you, including a panic path if you want one.

Parking, dismissal, and after hours

The lot, the dismissal line, and the building after everyone leaves are the places a small staff cannot watch in person. Agents can cover those windows with the cameras you already point there.

  • People lingering near cars
  • Someone waiting inside a vehicle
  • Activity that looks like a break-in attempt
  • Use of reserved or handicap spaces, when you want that watched
  • Vehicles left on the property
  • Movement in the lot after hours
  • Coverage through dismissal, drop-off, and event hours

Smoke and fire, alongside required systems

Camera-based smoke and fire pattern alerts add a visual layer next to the required fire systems and sensors on that site.

Where a site wants this agent, it watches smoke in a kitchen, hallway, basement, or maintenance area, or ignition near entrances, storage, or materials outside.

Emergency actions — lights, a siren, a loudspeaker, or a panic workflow — are optional and configured with you.

Who it is for

The people who already carry the building.

Rabbanim and roshei yeshiva

A calmer view of the kehilla: agents watch the events you define and alert the people you name.

Administrators and executive directors

Oversight of entrances, after-hours activity, staff and vendor movement, and a record you can review from one dashboard.

Security committees and volunteers

Alerts and evidence your committee can act on, using the protocol you already have.

School leadership

Entrances at dismissal, drop-off, and the designated areas you choose — so staff can see when activity does not match the day.

Why AwareCam

Peace of mind for leadership.

Built for these institutions

Shuls, yeshivas, schools, and mosdos — in New York and for Jewish institutions more broadly. The agents follow your calendar and your spaces.

The cameras you already own

We connect the cameras already on the building. Daily operations continue.

Alerts you can trust

Fast alerts when a defined event appears on camera, sent to staff, the security committee, or your security partner.

Evidence your team can audit

Images, timestamps, and clips for the events you care about, so administrators can review what happened and share it if you decide to.
