IdleWatch NYC deploys AI-powered computer vision to identify commercially idling vehicles, automatically generate DEP complaints, and distribute payouts to field agents — turning air quality violations into real income.
Our end-to-end pipeline handles everything from footage capture to DEP submission. You film — we do the rest.
Film any commercial vehicle idling for 3+ minutes (1 minute in school zones). Just your phone. No special equipment needed.
Our computer vision engine validates the footage, reads the license plate, confirms idle duration, and extracts all required complaint data automatically.
A validated complaint is filed with NYC DEP/OATH within hours. Our legal team ensures full compliance with all NYC Administrative Code requirements.
When the violation is upheld, NYC pays out up to 50% of the fine directly. IdleWatch handles collection and deposits your share automatically.
Your agent dashboard shows every submission, status update, and payout in real time. Full transparency from capture to deposit.
