Watching is easy.
Knowing is the hard part.

HaShomer builds AI that reads what a camera is actually seeing — and grades it, in the moment, with the evidence attached.

Introduction

01

A camera that records everything tells you nothing until somebody watches it back.

HaShomer is an AI company. Its work is perception software: systems that watch live video and classify what is happening — by severity, as it happens, with the footage that proves it attached to the record.

Safety over money

השומר — the watchman. The name of the guard organisation founded in 1909 to defend the early settlements, and the forerunner of everything that came after it. A watchman does not strike first. He sees first, and he is certain before he speaks.

At HaShomer, we build AI systems for defence and security, and the hardware that has to exist where software runs out. We were founded in Israel and work from here, and we take on special requests outside that core — from an aircraft to a mine.

The film

HaShomer in two minutes

Real security footage, the wall Vigil reports to, and the camera taken apart down to the board that decides.

01
One standard, no layers
At HaShomer, the people who build a system decide whether it ships. Nothing sits between the engineering and that decision.
02
AI first, hardware where it is needed
The core of the business is perception and decision software. Hardware is built only where a problem has no software answer.
03
Quality over profit, always
We are not playing with a soldier's safety to protect a margin. If a product is not good enough to trust with someone's life, it does not ship — whatever that costs us.

Have an idea? We will hear it — and if it ships, you earn a cut.

Every idea gets a real look, whoever it comes from. If we take it to production, you get a share of what it makes.

One line is enough here. The rest takes a minute on the contact page.

HaShomer is in development. Vigil is a running prototype, not a fielded product, and its figures describe how it is built rather than measured performance in service. Nothing here describes a deployed system or a specific location.
