Internal-theft protection for restaurants

Your cameras already saw it.
Now you will too.

Nightward turns the cameras you already own into a quiet watch over your register, your back door, and your closing shift — and surfaces only the moments worth thirty seconds of your time.

No new hardware · No facial recognition · No audio

How it works

Set up in an afternoon, not a project.

No cameras to buy, no sensors to mount. Nightward rides on the hardware and POS you already have.

Connect what you own

We pull from your existing NVR over RTSP and link to your Square or Clover POS. A Nightward install takes under two hours, on-site.

Hard numbers pull the footage

A void, a refund, a no-sale, a drawer that comes up short — a real number from your POS triggers the clip. The camera never plays detective.

You get the clip that matters

One tap on your phone opens the exact thirty seconds. Review it, save it, or dismiss it — in English or Spanish.

What it flags

Real events, tied to real numbers.

Every alert describes what the camera saw and pairs it with a record from your POS or schedule. You decide what it means.

After-hours presence

Someone in the building when it should be empty.

Back-door activity

Movement at the back door outside your delivery windows.

Voids & refunds at the register

Every void, refund, and no-sale — paired with the register footage from those exact seconds.

Drawer reconciliation

When the counted drawer comes up short at close, Nightward gathers the footage from each flagged moment into one report.

Why Nightward

Built to be worth opening.

A tool you stop looking at gets cancelled. Nightward is designed so every clip it sends earns the tap.

Only the clips worth your time

Most camera-AI buries you in alerts until you stop looking. Nightward saves a real-time text for the urgent, high-confidence moments and batches the rest into one daily digest. Two minutes — not twenty pings.

Private by design

No facial recognition. No biometric templates. No audio, ever. Nightward flags events — you decide who's who. Built to stay clear of Texas and biometric-privacy law.

Your footage stays yours

Clips are encrypted at rest, with a retention window you control. Delete everything on request, any time.

Bilingual from the first screen

English and Spanish, everywhere — alerts, dashboard, and digest. Built for the way the border actually works.

Bring Nightward to your restaurant.

We're onboarding a small group of Laredo restaurants now. If you run Square or Clover and have IP cameras, you're a fit.
