What Rimward does
Rimward helps operators of solar farms and other remote outdoor infrastructure detect intrusions from existing camera networks. We turn existing CCTV into operator-ready alerts with video verification, so security teams can reduce false alarms, respond faster, and avoid heavy hardware retrofits. We are focused on sites where recurring theft, perimeter intrusion, and low staffing make traditional monitoring noisy and operationally weak. Our approach is software-heavy, field-oriented, and built to work with real site constraints.

Low-false-positive intrusion detection for remote outdoor sites
We build software that analyzes existing CCTV camera footage at remote outdoor sites like solar farms to detect intrusions reliably. Our product filters out false alarms, generating verified alerts with video clips so security teams can respond faster without adding new hardware.
I live and work in Paris, Île-de-France, France, and the company will be based here after YC as well.
Paris is where I am located and have built my network; the company serves international remote infrastructure operators but is grounded here for now.
