Access full-resolution live streams from anywhere in the world and remotely adjust camera settings, resolution, or retention via this open platform system.
Hardware-free configuration
Eliminate the need for a bridge or Network Video Recorder (NVR) with a "plug-and-play" setup that lets you add cameras instantly by scanning a QR code or entering a MAC address.
Automated event responses
Pair a trigger with an action: activate a siren or strobe, play a pre-recorded audio warning, or talk down to intruders live through the camera's speaker when a person is detected.
Edge analytics on supported cameras
Run edge analytics, line crossing, person and vehicle detection, and more, directly on Axis and Brivo Eagle Eye Pro series cameras — you can even turn those analytics events into instant responses.
