VIGIL / Live Cameras

Your cameras are already watching. VIGIL helps you investigate.

Connect compatible security cameras to VIGIL and turn continuous surveillance footage into searchable, investigation-ready video intelligence — or upload footage from an incident and start immediately.

Keep your cameras. Add VIGIL intelligence.

Reactive · Connect your existing cameras

You shouldn't have to replace your surveillance system to make it more useful

VIGIL is being designed to work alongside existing security infrastructure, not force you to rip it out.

IP Cameras

Connect compatible network cameras directly.

RTSP Streams

Bring compatible live video streams into VIGIL for continuous processing.

NVR / DVR Systems

Connect existing recording infrastructure as integrations become available.

VMS Platforms

VIGIL is designed with an integration layer for existing video-management environments.

Uploaded Footage

Already have footage from an incident? Upload it directly and begin an investigation.

Live cameras

See what's connected. Know what's available.

Manage connected surveillance cameras from one workspace, organized by property, building, and location. If a camera disconnects, VIGIL shows the coverage gap rather than pretending footage exists.

Camera status

Live status, location, connection health, and last available frame for every connected camera.

→

Recent activity

Recent footage, processing status, coverage interruptions, and recent observations at a glance.

Saved evidence

Everything an investigator has already pulled into a case, connected back to its source camera.

Search recent surveillance footage

Stop scrubbing through video one camera at a time

When an incident happens, start with what you know — VIGIL returns relevant footage and observations for operator review.

01

Search by time

"Between 1:00 AM and 4:00 AM" — narrow to the window that matters.

02

Search by location

"Parking Garage East" — start from where the incident happened.

03

Find people

Select a person from available footage and search for matching observations across the investigation. When VIGIL can't establish that two observations belong to the same person, it says so — unknown is better than a confident wrong answer.

04

Find vehicles

Organize vehicle observations by time, camera, location, and available visual attributes across connected footage.

05

Search by event

"Show activity around this location during this time window" — start from the moment, not the camera list.

06

Ask VIGIL

Ask questions in plain language, grounded in actual video evidence — with the footage that can't support a conclusion said plainly.

Follow

See where the available evidence leads.

Start from an observation and follow the person's available path through surveillance footage. When evidence between cameras is missing or uncertain, VIGIL shows the gap rather than inventing a continuous path.

Sample follow path
1:32:11 AM — PARKING GARAGE EAST

Person observed.

1:33:02 AM — GARAGE ENTRANCE

Possible continuation supported by available evidence.

1:34:18 AM — LOBBY

Person observed.

From live camera to investigation

Turn an observation into a case

Create an investigation directly from connected camera footage, bringing together live and recent footage, uploaded recordings, observations, timestamps, saved clips, and operator notes — all in one workspace.

Sample incident timeline
1:41:12 AM — PARKING WEST

Vehicle observed arriving.

1:52:31 AM — PARKING EAST

Person observed.

1:54:03 AM — PARKING EAST

Person observed near vehicle.

1:57:44 AM — FRONT GATE

Additional person observation.

A person observed near a vehicle does not by itself establish ownership, criminal activity, or intent. Operators open the underlying footage, review context, and decide what belongs in the investigation.

Preserve & export

The rolling footage may expire. Your saved evidence shouldn't.

Connected cameras may use configurable retention periods. When an investigator saves a relevant moment to a case, VIGIL preserves it separately from the normal rolling video lifecycle.

→

Preserve the evidence

Video clips, snapshots, timestamps, camera information, notes, and timeline entries stay connected to the investigation instead of disappearing into hours of footage.

→

Export what matters

Once an investigation is complete, authorized users collect relevant evidence into a package — selected clips, snapshots, camera names, timestamps, timeline, and notes.

→

No five-hour handoff

No need to hand someone five hours of footage and tell them where to look. The package is already organized around what happened.

Camera health

Know when your security system can — and cannot — see

A camera appearing in a dashboard doesn't necessarily mean video intelligence is functioning correctly. VIGIL separates the two, so investigators can identify genuine evidence gaps.

Proactive · Live incident detection

When something unusual happens, VIGIL can bring it to your attention

Security teams can't watch every camera every second. VIGIL can continuously analyze connected feeds for configured high-priority events, then surface relevant footage for human review.

Detect. Verify. Respond.
Events VIGIL can be configured to monitor

Depending on camera placement and validated detection capabilities

Physical altercations

Surfaces video patterns consistent with a possible fight or aggressive interaction for immediate review.

Person down

Surfaces situations where a person appears to have fallen or remained on the ground.

Forced or unauthorized entry

Monitors configured entrances and restricted areas for observable access events that violate defined rules.

Vehicle incidents

Surfaces observable collisions or unusual vehicle events in monitored parking areas.

Unusual crowd activity

Surfaces sudden crowd formation, dispersal, or unusual movement patterns for operator review.

Running or rapid movement

Where relevant, VIGIL can flag unusual rapid movement for review. Running alone is never automatically classified as dangerous or criminal.

Abandoned objects

Where validated and configured, VIGIL can surface objects that appear left unattended for a defined period.

Camera tampering

Detects obstruction, sudden loss of view, significant camera movement, stream interruption, or extended outage.

Smoke or fire indicators

Where supported by validated models, VIGIL can surface visual indicators consistent with smoke or fire for urgent human verification — complementing, never replacing, certified fire detection and life-safety systems.

Intelligent alert levels

Not every event deserves the same response

Priority is based on configured, observable event criteria — never on assumptions about a person's identity or intent.

Critical High Medium Low
Critical

Potential immediate safety concern requiring urgent review.

High

Potential significant incident requiring prompt operator attention.

Medium

Unusual activity that should be reviewed.

Low

Informational event or operational observation.

Evidence comes with the alert

An alert without context isn't enough

Every VIGIL incident alert provides the camera, timestamp, video preview, before-and-after context, the detected event, and the system's confidence or uncertainty — not a bare notification.

Alert zones & schedules

Different cameras have different rules.

An activity that's normal at noon may require attention at 3 AM. Configure monitoring by property, camera, zone, day, time, and event type — VIGIL can apply different alert rules during each period.

Pool: after-hours activity Maintenance room: restricted-hours entry Parking garage: vehicle & safety events Emergency exit: access events Loading area: off-hours activity
Reduce alert fatigue

More alerts don't necessarily mean better security. VIGIL prioritizes useful alerts using event confidence, duration, repeated observations, camera location, monitored zones, and time of day.

Operators can mark an alert as:

Confirmed Incident Relevant Not Relevant False Alert
Human verification

VIGIL detects the signal. Your team makes the decision.

VIGIL should not automatically decide that someone is dangerous, suspicious, or committing a crime. It surfaces observable events. Your team reviews the evidence. This distinction is fundamental to trustworthy video intelligence.

Security built into camera connectivity

Camera access is sensitive infrastructure

Only authorized users should be able to access cameras, investigations, and evidence.

Common questions

Before you connect a camera

What cameras can I connect?
VIGIL is being designed to work with compatible IP cameras and RTSP streams, with NVR/DVR and VMS integrations becoming available over time. Bring your camera details to a demo and we'll tell you directly what's supported today rather than guess.
Will connecting cameras replace my existing security system?
No. VIGIL is designed to sit alongside what you already have, not replace it. Keep your cameras — VIGIL adds the intelligence layer on top.
What happens if a camera goes offline?
VIGIL shows the coverage gap plainly rather than pretending footage exists. Camera connection and AI processing are tracked separately, so you can tell exactly what's missing and when it happened.
Does VIGIL decide on its own that something is dangerous?
No. It surfaces observable events for a trained operator to review. VIGIL detects the signal — your team makes the decision. That distinction is fundamental to how the system is designed.
How does VIGIL avoid flooding my team with alerts?
Alert priority is based on configured, observable criteria, and operators can mark alerts as confirmed, relevant, not relevant, or false. That feedback shapes alert quality over time without silently changing safety-critical behavior behind the scenes.
Can I set different rules for different cameras or times of day?
Yes. Alert zones and schedules can be configured by property, camera, zone, day, and time — so a pool camera at midnight and a loading dock at noon don't share the same rules.
The full workflow

From the first observable event to the final evidence package

CONNECT→ DETECT→ ALERT→ VERIFY→ FIND→ FOLLOW→ TRACE→ ASK→ PRESERVE→ EXPORT
Your next incident shouldn't begin with hours of video scrubbing

Connect your cameras. Search your footage. Find what matters.

Whether the footage is live, stored in your existing system, or uploaded after an incident, VIGIL brings video into one investigation workflow.
