Live view of one site, with up to eight cameras, costs nothing. Verify adds video evidence and delivery to an alarm receiving center; Verify + VMS adds cloud recording. We quote those two after a pilot.
Kalytera Cloud · for installers
Verified alarms, from cameras you installed years ago.
Keep the cameras on the wall. Connect each one the way its site allows, start with the free package for live view, and give every customer a private portal. On Verify, add video analytics, and when a camera notices someone the alarm can reach the customer’s alarm receiving center with its video.
Connect
The cameras already on the wall
Keep the cameras you have and pick the connection that suits each one. Push, the Bridge Agent, Hikvision ISUP, Dahua AutoReg and the Axis Edge Connector connect out to us, so nothing has to be opened on the site's firewall for them. RTSP pull and Hikvision SDK need the camera or recorder to be reachable from our servers.
- 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.
- Hikvision, Dahua and Axis integrations: Hikvision ISUP devices, Dahua AutoReg devices and the Axis Edge Connector app (a developer preview, on request) connect to us directly, channel by channel, and we connect to Hikvision SDK devices.
Two things to know before you choose: the Bridge Agent is an add-on on Verify and Verify + VMS, and video analytics are not available for cameras connected through the Bridge Agent or the Axis Edge Connector.

For each customer
Start small. Add what the site needs.
A portal for each customer
Each customer gets a private portal with its own people, five predefined roles or custom roles, an audit history and separate storage. We create it, with its administrator account.
The panel you installed, too
With the panel alarms add-on, an SPC or Galaxy panel, or any panel that reports over SIA DC-09, sends its alarms to the same portal as the cameras. The optional AI check can look at a zone’s cameras before its burglary alarm goes on.
The alarm goes where it always went
On the Verify packages, alarms reach the customer’s alarm receiving center over SIA DC-09. Sent encrypted, they carry a link to the video.

From the first camera to the first alarm

Choose each site’s connection
A camera our servers can reach, a recorder that sends its stream, or a Bridge Agent on a machine at the site: the Connect cameras guide compares the seven connection types.
-
See the first camera live
Live view starts as soon as a camera is online, and on Verify + VMS so does recording.
-
Agree the signaling with the center
The receiver’s address, an account number for the site, a key for encryption, and a zone for each camera. The guide lists what to ask for.
-
Cross the line yourself
Walk through the gate and watch the alarm reach the center, with its video link when it is sent encrypted. Where the plan sends panel alarms to the center, a panel zone’s test alarm can go as a test signal, never as a burglary.
