4Sight Labs
Purpose-Built Software for Custody Monitoring
Our team took the stage at the American Correctional Association (ACA) conference to share how their custody monitoring system helps agencies strengthen safety and welfare and support the staff who safeguard it every day.
With 70,000+ individuals in custody monitored across 80+ agencies in 18 states, we've built a platform purpose-built for correctional environments. Hear how our team evolved from wearable sensors to contactless monitoring powered by cloud-based biometric intelligence, and why solutions like OverWatch® and OptiGuard™ give command staff more reliable ways to respond.
Hear directly from a county partner on what it looked like to implement continuous monitoring in corrections, from working with the county to a early intervention on night one of deployment.

OptiGuard™ documentation runs on the cameras agencies already have - in most cases, no drilling, no hardwiring, and no new camera hardware required.
Our technology monitors up to four occupants per cell and produces audit-ready records while automating documentation of duty of care.
Speak with our team today and get started within 1-2 weeks of installment.
Dr. Ardi Ardeshiri, PhD, Chief Data Scientist at 4Sight Labs, breaks down how OverWatch® works.
Physiological data is continuously monitored to support timely staff response. Structured & timely notifications reach staff within a 1–5 minute window to respond.
HIPAA-compliant. End-to-end encrypted, in transit and at rest. Data stored in secure, U.S.-based cloud infrastructure, accessible only to authorized facility staff.

Twenty-five years ago, nearly 3,000 lives were taken on September 11.
In the face of unimaginable danger, first responders and law enforcement officers ran toward it -putting the lives of others before their own.
For many of us at 4Sight Labs, September 11 is deeply personal. We are proud to be a veteran-led company, including leaders who spent years serving our country throughout the Global War on Terror.
Today, we remember those we lost, honor those who answered the call, and stand with the public safety professionals who continue to serve our communities every day.
Protecting those who protect others isn't just part of our mission. It's personal.
We remember. We honor. We will never forget. 🇺🇸

A successful new deployment at Allegheny County Jail, one of Pennsylvania's high volume intake facilities, and a partnership we're proud of.
Working with Holly Martin, the facility's Deputy Warden, has meant building something that strengthens safety and welfare for individuals in custody while supporting the staff who safeguard it every shift.
"This device and this tool is an opportunity to be proactive in their care," she says.
4Sight Labs is engineered for corrections facilities, not adapted for it. 🇺🇸

Before you evaluate any monitoring platform, ask what happens after intake screening ends.
Individuals may conceal substance use at intake, and jail intake screening alone can't catch every withdrawal risk. Any technology claiming to help close that gap should be able to answer four questions:
1. Signal scope - Does it surface heart rate, blood oxygen, skin temperature, and other biometrics, or just one signal?
2. Continuity - Does monitoring continue automatically through housing placement and shift changes, without staff needing to restart it?
3. Timely notifications - Is the balance between false positives and missed early signs disclosed, or just assumed?
4. Workload impact - Does it add documentation steps for staff, or does awareness run in the background?
That’s why we created the Correctional Bio-Physiologic Monitoring Technology Scorecard. It gives you the questions to ask, what to test, and a framework to help you make a more informed purchasing decision.
Test the technology. Measure the performance. Buy what actually solves the problem.

The first night Allegheny County Jail deployed OverWatch®, it worked.
"Day one - we had an alert go off that required that person to get a further evaluation," says the facility's Deputy Warden of Healthcare Services, Holly Martin.
She sees it as a chance to get ahead of a inmate's crisis before it happens, not just react to one. The protocols her staff already run, day in and day out, now have something extra behind them, catching things sooner than a walkthrough alone ever could.
Every other wearable on the market borrows consumer wireless and hopes it holds up in a facility. OverWatch® inmate monitoring system was engineered for corrections.

Hospital radar wasn’t designed for corrections.
Radar-based vital-sign monitoring sounds compelling: mount a sensor in a cell and remotely monitor heart rate and respiration. But look at what the underlying technology was actually designed to do.
The Xandar Kardian XK300 is FDA cleared for adult patients in a “general care hospital environment including nursing homes.” A jail is not a hospital room.
Three things correctional leaders should know:
1️⃣ Movement matters.
The XK300 is described as measuring resting heart rate and respiratory rate. Its vital-sign measurement depends on sufficient body stability.
People in jail don’t remain still in a predictable position. They roll over, sit up, pace, detox, move around their cells and leave them.
2️⃣ Accuracy declines at lower vital signs.
Peer-reviewed research on the XK300 found increased heart-rate measurement error below 70 bpm and increased respiratory-rate error below 18 breaths/min.
That matters when monitoring people experiencing medical deterioration, intoxication, detoxification or overdose.
3️⃣ Its FDA-cleared indication is a clinical environment—not corrections.
Jails, prisons and detention centers are not identified in the FDA-cleared indications for use.
FDA 510(k) K202464: https://bit.ly/4xKlV1k
The fundamental issue is simple:
Radar stays with the room. People move.
OverWatch® was designed around the opposite premise - the biometric sensor stays with the individual.
A radar in the wall watches a room. OverWatch® watches the person.

When an incident happens in your correctional facility, can your team show exactly what occurred, when, and how staff responded?
For many agencies, that record has gaps. OverWatch® changes that by pairing continuous biometric awareness with structured notifications and defensible documentation of every response, giving your staff the record they need and your agency the accountability it's built on.
OverWatch® is helping officers respond faster and strengthening the safety and welfare of individuals in custody when it matters most.
Rockwall County, Texas shares how that shift is playing out on the ground.
08/05/2026
Our team met with correctional leaders, sheriffs, and DOC administrators to discuss how OverWatch® and OptiGuard™ are shaping the future of custody operations, from continuous biometric awareness to in-cell monitoring built on existing infrastructure.
Conversations like these help us stay aligned with what agencies are facing day to day, and where custody operations are headed next. Thank you to the American Correctional Association 2026 for hosting us.
