WSA COMMERCIAL BUFFALO, NY v2.4 / 2026

An empty building should be silent — on every frequency.

WiSpyAlert is an RF presence sensor for commercial premises. It learns what your site sounds like after hours — then flags any wireless device that shouldn't be there. Everyone carries a radio. Almost nobody leaves it home.

No cameras. / No microphones. / No new console. / Alerts feed the monitoring stack you already run.

PLUG-IN INSTALL NO CABLE PULLS MADE IN BUFFALO, NY
21:47 Last two staff devices exit RF envelope Matched to learned baseline. Closing pattern normal. KNOWN
22:00 Site armed. Baseline: ambient only POS terminals, APs, thermostat — all learned, all steady. ARMED
22:00–02:46 Silence. Which is the product working. QUIET
02:47 Unknown device inside RF envelope BLE, −54 dBm and strengthening. No baseline match. Alert dispatched. ALARM
02:49 Second unknown signature confirms 2.4 GHz probe activity, interior dwell. Escalated. ALARM
07:58 Opening manager arrives — recognized Known device, expected window. Disarmed. No action. KNOWN
AFTER HOURS, THE LOGIC IS SIMPLE: ANY UNEXPECTED SIGNAL IS THE ALARM.
§ 01 / The Gap

Every sensor on the install sheet needs a line of sight. Radio doesn't.

PIRs watch a cone. Cameras watch a frame. Glass-breaks listen to one room. All of it works — and all of it waits for a body to cross a boundary you predicted. Meanwhile the one thing nearly every intruder carries broadcasts continuously, through drywall, around corners, in total darkness.

The phone in their pocket is a beacon. Nothing on the sheet is listening for it.

DETECTION LAYERS / TYPICAL COMMERCIAL INSTALL
PIR MOTION
Cone of coverage, needs movement in view Blocked by racking, walls, fixtures. Fires when they're already inside the cone.
CAMERAS
Sightline and light dependent Records the event. Someone still has to be watching, or reviewing after.
DOOR / GLASS
Perimeter breach only Silent on anyone who's already inside — or who came through an unmonitored path.
RF PRESENCE
Omnidirectional, through walls, no light needed Detects the device the intruder carries — often before any other sensor has anything to see.
§ The Insight

Phones randomize their identities to defeat tracking. Irrelevant here — in a building that should be empty, we don't need to know which device. Presence is the alarm.

§ 02 / Mechanism

Learn the site. Watch the silence. Alert your stack.

WiSpyAlert passively scans the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and Bluetooth environment. It doesn't join anything, transmit into anything, or store identities. It learns what a specific site's after-hours RF picture looks like — then treats deviation as the event.

01 / LEARN

Baseline the building's normal.

Every site has a persistent RF signature after close — access points, POS terminals, IoT thermostats, the neighbor's equipment bleeding through the wall. Over the learning window, the sensor profiles all of it, including recurring patterns like cleaning crews. Normal gets a fingerprint.

BAND // 2.4 + 5 GHz WiFi + BLE
PASSIVE // receive-only scanning
02 / DETECT

Anomaly, not threshold.

During armed hours, anything that doesn't match the learned baseline — a new device, an approach pattern, interior dwell — is flagged. Not a dumb "any RF = alert" tripwire: the baseline is what keeps the ambient environment from generating noise, and sensitivity is tunable per site.

MODEL // learned baseline + approach pattern
TUNING // per-site sensitivity + arm schedule
03 / ALERT

Into the workflow you already monitor.

No new console for your central station to babysit. Detections push out through MQTT, webhooks, and API — into the automation and monitoring workflow you already run. WiSpyAlert is a detection layer on the install sheet, not a platform you have to adopt.

OUTPUT // MQTT · webhook · API
ALSO // Home Assistant, IFTTT, Zapier
§ 03 / The Channel

Built to go on your install sheet.

You own the customer, the permit, and the panel. We're not trying to change that. WiSpyAlert is a line item that gives your overnight commercial accounts a detection layer nothing else on the truck provides.

Install

Plug in, position, walk away.

Powered by a standard outlet, mounted anywhere inside the protected footprint. No cable pulls, no sightline surveys, no lighting considerations. Add it to an existing job in minutes.

Differentiate

A layer your competitors don't quote.

Enterprise RF detection exists — priced and packaged for government facilities and corporate campuses. Nobody has brought it to the storefront, the warehouse, the dental office. You can be the installer who does.

Privacy

Coverage where cameras can't go.

No lenses, no microphones, no recordings — which means no privacy objections in offices, medical suites, locker areas, or anywhere a camera bid dies in review. Full detection coverage stays on the table.

Recurring

Hardware margin plus monitoring value.

Low-cost hardware keeps the quote easy. The detection service rides your existing monitoring relationship — another reason the account stays with you, and another line of recurring value on it.

The industry is moving toward camera-free RF sensing. In February 2026, ADT acquired Origin AI for $170 million — more than 200 patents in WiFi-based sensing — with products expected in 2027. The direction is settled. The question is who brings it to ordinary commercial premises first — and whose install sheet it arrives on.

§ 04 / Start Here

Pilot it on a site you already protect.

We're partnering with a small number of Western New York installers to prove the layer out on real overnight commercial sites — and to build the integrations against the platforms you actually run. You bring the site. We bring the hardware and work directly with your team through learning, tuning, and alert routing.

This is a founder-run program. You'll be talking to the person who built the sensor.

§ 05 / Questions

What installers ask first.

The learned baseline is the whole answer. The sensor doesn't alert on RF — it alerts on RF that doesn't match what the site normally looks like during armed hours. Persistent ambient devices, neighboring signal bleed, and recurring patterns like cleaning crews get learned into the baseline. Sensitivity and arm schedules are tunable per site, and dialing that in together is a core part of the pilot.

It breaks device identification — which we don't need. Randomization exists to stop anyone from tracking which phone is which. But in a building that's supposed to be empty after hours, the question isn't "which device is this?" It's "why is there a device at all?" Presence itself is the alarm condition. Randomized or not, the radio is still radiating.

Then your PIRs, contacts, and cameras do their job — same as today. WiSpyAlert is an additional detection layer, not a replacement for anything on the sheet. In practice, phones, earbuds, and smartwatches are close to universal carry, and each one is an independent chance at detection through walls and in the dark, often before line-of-sight sensors have anything to see.

Detections push over MQTT, webhooks, and API today, plus Home Assistant, IFTTT, and Zapier. Deeper integrations with alarm and monitoring platforms are exactly what the pilot program exists to build — we develop against the stack our pilot partners actually run, rather than guessing. Tell us what your central station uses and that goes on the roadmap.

No cameras, no microphones, no video, no audio, no identities. The sensor passively observes signal metadata — timestamp, signal strength, band, approach pattern. That's the full record. It's why the layer works in spaces where camera coverage gets rejected: medical offices, changing areas, anywhere privacy review kills a bid.

Detection range is roughly 50 feet typical, varying with construction and interference. Smaller footprints — storefronts, offices, suites — are often a single-sensor job. Larger sites take multiple sensors, placed the same way you'd think about detector coverage. Site sizing is part of the pilot conversation.

Pilot sites get hardware provided. Dealer pricing is being finalized with pilot partners — the design target is simple: low-cost hardware that's easy to add to a quote, with a recurring detection service that rides your existing monitoring relationship. Enterprise RF detection gear runs thousands per unit; the entire point of WiSpyAlert is that ordinary commercial premises shouldn't have to pay that.

§ 06 / One Site Is Enough

Put it on the site that keeps you up at night.

Every installer has one — the overnight account with the coverage gap nothing on the truck quite closes. That's the pilot site. One sensor, one learning window, your monitoring workflow.
