SmartNVR is an all-in-one AI surveillance platform combining real-time monitoring, reliable recording, smooth playback, and easy video export through a user-friendly interface. It supports multi-channel layouts, AI detection overlays, PTZ control, and flexible recording modes including 24/7, scheduled, and event-based recording with NAS support.

For real-time response, SmartNVR detects people, vehicles, faces, and scene changes, instantly triggering identity, scenario, and behavior alerts with notifications via email or mobile apps.

For post-event investigation, Deep Search analyzes recorded footage using object attributes, natural language queries, and cross-camera matching—allowing users to quickly locate key moments without manually reviewing hours of video.

SmartNVR supports both HTTP RESTful and WebSocket APIs. The WebSocket API enables real-time device notifications without constant polling, reducing system load and improving response efficiency. It uses the same data format as the RESTful API for seamless and consistent integration.

The comprehensive API suite supports flexible integration across channel setup, camera control, event management, system configuration, notifications, reporting, and device management.

With its AI Plug-In architecture, SmartNVR allows developers to integrate custom AI models—such as facial recognition, helmet detection, or behavior analysis—without system recompilation. The plug-in mechanism supports hot-swapping and version updates, ensuring flexible deployment, high accuracy, uninterrupted operation, and secure on-premises data processing.
