## What Nigahban AI is

Nigahban AI is a software service that connects to a building's existing IP CCTV cameras, continuously analyzes the live video feed for visual signatures of fire and smoke, and dispatches multi-channel alerts to designated responders within seconds. The product is built specifically for the Pakistani market and the realities of local building infrastructure: variable power, patchy connectivity, mixed camera brands, and existing security guard workflows. "Nigahban" (نگہبان) is Urdu for "guardian" or "watchman."
