Frequently Asked Questions
Our storage architecture employs multiple layers of protection to ensure data durability. We use erasure coding with N+3 redundancy, meaning your data remains intact even if three storage nodes fail simultaneously. Data is distributed across multiple physical locations within our data center, with optional geo-replication for critical footage. Our system performs continuous integrity checks and automatic self-healing to detect and repair any data corruption. This approach delivers 99.999999999% (11 nines) of durability, making data loss mathematically improbable.
Our platform includes a comprehensive suite of AI analytics capabilities that can be deployed at the edge (camera level) or within our processing cluster. Standard capabilities include motion detection, object classification (person, vehicle, animal), facial recognition, license plate recognition, and behavior analysis (loitering, line crossing, object left/removed). Advanced analytics include crowd density estimation, traffic pattern analysis, and anomaly detection based on learned patterns. All analytics generate searchable metadata while preserving the original video for evidence purposes. Our AI models are continuously trained and updated to improve accuracy and reduce false positives.
Our chain-of-custody system creates a cryptographically verifiable record of all interactions with video evidence. From the moment footage is ingested, we apply digital signatures and timestamps to establish authenticity. Every access, viewing, or export operation is logged with the user's identity, timestamp, and action performed. When evidence is exported, we generate a comprehensive package that includes the original video, metadata, access logs, and a verification tool that courts can use to confirm the evidence hasn't been tampered with. This approach has been successfully used in numerous legal proceedings and meets the stringent requirements of law enforcement and judicial systems across multiple jurisdictions.
Yes, our platform is designed with interoperability as a core principle. We offer native integrations with major VMS platforms including Milestone XProtect, Genetec Security Center, Avigilon Control Center, and many others. For systems without native integration, we support standard protocols like RTSP, ONVIF, and REST APIs. Our professional services team can also develop custom integrations for proprietary or legacy systems. The integration can be configured to work as a transparent extension of your existing VMS, providing enhanced storage and analytics capabilities without disrupting your established workflows and operator training.
We employ several strategies to optimize performance in bandwidth-constrained environments. Our edge processing capabilities allow for local recording and analytics, with only relevant footage or metadata transmitted to the central repository. We implement adaptive bitrate streaming that automatically adjusts video quality based on available bandwidth. For scheduled transfers, we offer WAN acceleration technology that can improve throughput by 3-10x compared to standard TCP/IP. Additionally, our delta-based synchronization only transfers changes in video data, significantly reducing bandwidth requirements for static scenes. For extremely limited connections, we support physical data transport with secure, chain-of-custody maintained device swapping.
Our retention policy engine offers exceptional flexibility to meet diverse compliance and operational requirements. You can define policies based on time periods (days, months, years), event types (motion detected, alarm triggered), camera locations, or any combination of these factors. Policies can automatically move footage between storage tiers as it ages, optimizing costs while maintaining accessibility. For regulated industries, we support legal hold functionality that overrides standard retention for specific footage needed in investigations or litigation. All retention actions are fully audited, and the system enforces both minimum retention (preventing premature deletion) and maximum retention (ensuring timely disposal) as required by your data governance framework.
Our platform incorporates privacy-by-design principles to support GDPR and other data protection regulations. Key features include automated redaction capabilities to blur faces or license plates when sharing footage, granular access controls to limit who can view specific cameras or time periods, and comprehensive audit logging of all data access. Our retention engine enforces appropriate data minimization by automatically deleting footage when no longer needed. For subject access and deletion requests, we provide tools to efficiently locate and manage footage containing specific individuals. Additionally, we support privacy impact assessments with detailed documentation of data flows and processing activities within the system.
We offer multiple deployment models to suit different security and operational requirements. Our primary offering is our fully-managed service hosted in our secure data centers in Latvia, providing the highest level of reliability and lowest total cost of ownership. For organizations with specific regulatory or security requirements, we also offer private cloud deployments in your preferred data center or cloud provider. For high-security environments, we can deploy an air-gapped on-premises solution that operates entirely within your security perimeter. Hybrid models are also available, combining on-premises recording and processing with cloud-based archiving and analytics. All deployment options maintain the same feature set and management interface.
