Kalytera Cloud

Hosted video management for companies with many sites

We run the servers. You connect cameras over RTSP, RTMP or the Kalytera Bridge Agent, and your team works from a private portal in the browser.

A private portal for each customer · Roles and audit history · Dedicated storage

Three ways to connect cameras

Pick the one that suits each site. RTMP push and the Bridge Agent only make outbound connections, so nothing has to be opened on the site's firewall.

  • RTSP pull: we fetch the stream from a camera or recorder that our servers can reach.
  • RTMP or RTMPS push: the camera, encoder or recorder sends its stream to us with its own key.
  • Kalytera Bridge Agent: installed on a Windows or Linux machine at the site, it finds Axis, Dahua and Hikvision cameras as well as ONVIF ones on the local network and relays their video.
  • Stream keys are per camera and can be rotated at any time.

What your team works with

Live view

Camera grids with saved layouts, detection overlays, zoom and full screen, next to a panel of active alarms.

Playback and search

Several cameras in sync, search by object class such as people or vehicles, bookmarks and MP4 export.

Recording

Continuous, Motion or Scheduled. Continuous keeps full frame rate while something happens and one frame per second otherwise; Motion keeps only the activity. Kept from 1 to 30 days on S3-compatible storage.

Video analytics

Zone intrusion, Line crossing, Loitering and Overcrowding, with a snapshot and a clip attached to each alarm.

Alarms and incidents

Operators acknowledge, take over and resolve incidents with a full audit trail, and can share one through a link that expires after 1 hour to 7 days.

Alarm receiving

Receive SIA DC-09 alarms from panels and communicators, and forward alarms to your alarm receiving center over SIA DC-09.

One portal per customer

Each customer gets its own portal, users with administrator, operator or viewer roles, audit history and separate storage.

Kalytera app

iOS and Android, phones and tablets

The Kalytera app works with your Kalytera VMS installations and with Kalytera Cloud. Watch live video, play back recordings and handle alarms with push alerts, in English or Spanish. To sign in a phone to Kalytera VMS, scan a QR code from Configure and an administrator approves it.
