What you can do

Video Surveillance capabilities

Live and recorded video

Stream live in RTSP, HLS, MJPEG, or fragmented MP4, and scrub recorded footage with a multi-camera playback wall.

PTZ and presets

Pan, tilt, and zoom supported cameras and recall presets directly from the dashboard.

License-plate recognition

LPR events are captured and searchable, turning an entrance camera into an automatic vehicle log.

Forensic export with legal hold

Export an evidence clip with a SHA-256 hash and legal-hold archive, so the footage is tamper-evident and defensible.

NVR and channel import

Bring an existing NVR online and import its channels, so cameras already wired to a recorder appear without rewiring.

One camera wall

Hikvision ISAPI and ONVIF Profile S cameras share one grid, one event feed, and one health view.

Good to know

Every device write rides the staged-change pipeline: changes are staged, then applied behind a dual gate with a full audit record and saga-style rollback. Nothing touches device config without double confirmation.
