Homes
Know the family car's home before the doorbell goes, be warned when a stranger's at the door, check the drive from your phone. Recorded on a box in the cupboard, not someone's server.

Home/Security & CCTV
Security & CCTVSecurity and CCTV you actually own
Keep the cameras and recorders you already have, and add a brain that runs on your own hardware. Footage stays in the building, there's no monthly fee, and one live command centre tells you who's on site the moment they arrive — home, single premises or whole estate.
Own your footage
A CCTV system without the subscription
Most kits quietly rent you your own footage — a monthly fee, a vendor app, video on someone else's cloud. We do the opposite: everything records to a network video recorder in your building, uploaded to no one.
Recording on your own hardware — one recorder or several
The system records to a native NVR on your own kit, and footage never leaves the premises. Already running more than one recorder — an old DVR in the yard, a newer NVR at the gate? It ingests several at once, so everything lands in one place you control.
- Continuous and event recording to hardware you own
- Multi-DVR ingest — several recorders captured at once
- Mixed brands and generations, unified into one system
Your feeds, your browser
Hikvision cameras on a web page — no vendor app
The one people ask for most: turn the recorder already on the wall into live dashboards you open from any device — nothing to install per phone.
Your Hikvision NVR, on live web pages
Already got a Hikvision NVR? Keep it. We put its live feeds on clean web pages you open from any device on your network — phone, tablet, office PC — and securely from off-site where you want it. No Hik-Connect account, no per-camera cloud, no app on every handset.
- Live views straight from your existing Hikvision NVR
- Open in an ordinary browser — nothing to install per device
- Secure access from outside on your terms, not the vendor's cloud
Works with what you have
Keep your cameras. We bring the intelligence.
You don't rip anything out. Generic cameras speak ONVIF and RTSP — so do we — so whatever brand's on the box connects straight in alongside your branded kit.
Standard ONVIF and RTSP cameras, straight in
Point us at an ONVIF device or RTSP stream and it joins the system next to your Hikvision feeds — one platform across a mix of makes and ages. We add the software, not a skip full of old kit.
- Generic ONVIF and RTSP cameras supported out of the box
- Any brand, right alongside your existing branded kit
- Existing cabling, cameras and recorders stay in place
Live reporting
Argus — one command centre for the whole site
Everything in one place: a wall of live feeds beside the alarms, recent arrivals and system health, with alerts pushed to your phone. The screen you leave up in the office and the app you check from the sofa.
One wall, everything at a glance
Argus puts live feeds, current alarms, the arrivals board and system health on one command screen. When a known car arrives, a stranger's seen or a tripwire trips, the alert appears here and on your phone at once — so no one has to be watching for it to be noticed.
- Live feeds, alarms, arrivals and health in one view
- Alerts pushed to phones as they happen
- The same picture from the office wall or your pocket
Scrub back and see it from every angle
When something happens, jump to the moment on the timeline and scrub the recordings back — then bring up every camera that saw it in a synced view. Recorded natively on your own hardware, so the footage is there in full, no cloud service to ask.
- Scrub-back through native recordings on a timeline
- Synced multi-camera live and playback views
- Export a clip when you need to hand it over
Know who's arrived
Number-plate recognition that names the car
Cameras on the drive, gate or yard read plates as vehicles arrive and turn a plate you've saved into a named vehicle and person — so an arrival isn't "a car", it's "the parts van" or "Dad's estate".
From a plate to a name, on an arrivals board
Every recognised vehicle lands on a live arrivals board, and the moment a known plate reaches the gate Argus surfaces an "on site" alert. A heads-up before the doorbell at home; a running log of who came and went at a yard.
- Automatic number-plate recognition at the drive or gate
- Known plate becomes a named vehicle and person
- Live arrivals board with an instant "on site" alert through Argus
It knows what it's looking at
Detection that tells faces and movement apart
A camera that shouts at every swaying branch is one you stop trusting. Ours tells a face from mere motion, and a real crossing from the traffic behind — so the alerts you get are worth reading.
Faces, not just movement
Face detection separates a person from a passing shadow, and recognition puts a name to the ones you know. A stranger at the back door reads differently from staff clocking in or family coming home — so you're alerted to the unknown and left in peace for the known.
- Detects a person as distinct from general motion
- Recognises the known faces you choose to enrol
- Alerts on unknown people, quiet for familiar ones
Motion with the false alarms drawn out
You draw the exclusion zones yourself — mask off the road, the neighbour's window, the tree that never stops moving — and set tripwires across the paths that matter, like the gate or yard entrance. It reacts to a person walking up the drive, not to headlights sweeping past.
- Draw your own exclusion zones over each camera
- Line-crossing tripwires on the paths that matter
- Ignores swaying trees, passing traffic and busy pavements
Homes and businesses
The same system, sized to the site
A three-camera house and a multi-gate yard run the same software — the only difference is how many recorders, cameras and sites it's pointed at.
Premises & yards
A live log of every vehicle through the gate, tripwires on the perimeter, and a wall of feeds in the office. Multi-DVR keeps the old recorders earning their keep.
// for business
Multi-site
Several buildings, one command centre. Every site's recorders and arrivals in one Argus view, with alerts routed to whoever needs them.
// for estates
Why local-first
You own the system, and the footage
The through-line of everything we build: private by default, on your hardware, with nothing you can be cut off from.
01
On your hardware
Recorder, recognition and dashboards all run on a box you own. Footage and plate data stay with you — cancel nothing, renew nothing.
02
Private by default
Video never leaves the building unless you open a secure door to it, over your own connection. No third party holds your recordings.
03
No cloud lock-in
No camera-maker subscription, no per-camera account, nothing you're tied to. Yours to keep.
04
Built to hand over
Clear, documented and yours. We design, build and host it, show you how it runs, and you keep the keys.
Let's map your cameras onto one private system
Tell us what recorders and cameras you've already got — home, yard or several sites — and we'll show how they come together into live web views, native recording, and plate, face and motion alerts you actually trust. Near Aztec West, Bristol: we design, build and host it, and you own it.
