Platform

Everything NetrIQ does today, on the cameras you already have.

Below is the live feature set — what is in production, deployed, and used by customers. We don’t list roadmap items here.

01 / Capture

Bring every camera into one view.

NetrIQ is camera-agnostic. We connect to whatever you have — over the network you have — and present it as one system.

Multi-vendor ingestion

Native support for Hikvision, Dahua, CP Plus and Sparsh; ingest from Frigate NVRs; and any ONVIF / RTSP camera.

Auto-discovery

Network scanner finds cameras on the LAN, detects codecs, and registers them in bulk.

4G / SIM cameras

RTMP ingest from remote SIM cameras via relay. Per-device auth keys, no public IP needed at the camera.

Live view

WebRTC streaming with sub-second latency. H.265 and H.264, automatic codec fallback when a stream fails to decode.

Continuous recording

Segment-based recording with configurable retention. Detection events linked to the exact frame in the recording.

Event-anchored playback

Click an alert and the timeline opens at the exact frame — a perceptual-hash anchor closes the sub-vs-main-stream timing gap that normally costs ten seconds of scrubbing.

Snapshot fallback

For cameras that drop RTSP or refuse it, NetrIQ auto-falls-back to snapshot polling so the feed keeps flowing.

Detection overlay

Bounding boxes drawn on the live feed with class, confidence, and colour-coded labels.

PTZ & 360° control

Pan/tilt/zoom from the live grid for PTZ cameras. Native 360° fisheye dewarp with up to four virtual sub-views per dome.

Group, organise, share

Camera groups with per-group toggles for detection, sharing, and view layout.

02 / Understand

The AI that watches the wall.

Generic VMS detects motion. NetrIQ detects what is moving, identifies it across cameras, and only surfaces what matters.

Object detection

Real-time inference for person, vehicle, animal, and common object classes. Switchable models, configurable per-camera frame rate.

License plate recognition

HSRP-tuned OCR with multi-frame consensus per track. Handles regional plate formats and low-light gate conditions. Vehicle registry and gate log are auto-populated.

Persons of Interest

Mark a person, vehicle, or object once. NetrIQ tracks every appearance across every camera using OSNet Re-ID and forensic backfill.

Cross-camera tracking

Re-identification ties the same individual or vehicle across disjoint feeds. Class-aware so handbag-PoI doesn’t match a person.

Forensic scan

Run the same AI over recorded footage. Pick a time range and cameras, get back detections, plates, and PoI matches retroactively.

Counting and occupancy

Counting tasks for any class, on demand. Occupancy zones report dwell and presence. Snapshots stored as proof.

Polygon zones

Draw zones on the camera view. Detection events fire only inside the zone — cuts false positives sharply.

Zone rules engine

Four rule families out of the box: unmanned gate, occupancy threshold, intrusion, and tailgating. Configure once, fire only when context says so.

Natural-language visual search

Type “men in red shirt near gate yesterday after 9pm” in plain English. The LLM normalises it; SigLIP+pgvector returns clips ranked by visual similarity. Plate-only queries short-circuit to the OCR lane.

Tailgating detection

Pure-CV detection of a second person slipping through behind an authorised entry — without depending on access-control integration.

Floor plans

Place cameras on an uploaded floor plan with field-of-view cones. Zones map to the physical space, not just the camera frame.

Heatmaps & analytics

Activity heatmaps, footfall, dwell. Daily and hourly aggregates per camera and per zone.

Persons of Interest panel with cross-camera sightings

Track a person, vehicle, or object across every camera you own.

Mark a Person of Interest from any detection — a suspect, a vehicle, a delivery rider, a misplaced bag. NetrIQ backfills sightings across the time range and cameras you choose, then keeps watching forward in real time.

Plate logs that read themselves.

Every vehicle through every gate ends up in the registry with plate, time, camera, and image — searchable by plate fragment, by time, by gate. Track regulars, flag unknown vehicles, build whitelists.

Gate log auto-populated by license plate recognition
03 / Act

From signal to response.

Detection is only useful if it routes to the right person at the right moment, or to the right query after the fact.

Multi-channel notify

In-app, email, and WhatsApp (Twilio) dispatched through one engine. Per-audience routing, with chain alerts firing concurrent literals so escalation paths don’t race each other.

Gate log

Every entry and exit captured automatically. Searchable, exportable, image-attached.

Detection history

Every event with thumbnail, class, confidence, camera, time, and link to the recording frame.

Event de-duplication

Intelligent filtering reduces duplicate alerts so the inbox stays signal, not noise.

Forensic export with chain-of-custody

Three-gate writer for evidence packs — SHA-256 manifests, hashed clips, and a signed export log so the bundle stands up downstream.

Roles & access

Admin, operator, viewer. Permissions enforced at the API, not just the UI.

Multi-site

One console across every site. Group cameras, route alerts, and assign access per site.

Themeable console

Ten palettes, configurable font, per-section type sizing. Co-branded deployments without forking the front-end.

Featured screens

The product, from console to alert.

Twelve surfaces you'll touch in a real deployment — from the operations dashboard to the gate log, from analytics to the device list. People’s faces are redacted in every screenshot below.

Editions

One platform, four editions — pick what fits the site.

Same engine across the line. Editions differ in which capabilities are unlocked, not in which code base you run.

Mid-market · core operational surface

Vertical · restaurant preset

NetrIQ Dine

The Suite engine, tuned for food-service operations — security plus food-safety plus ops in one console.

  • PPE compliance detection (gloves, hair-net, apron, mask)
  • Pest detection in kitchen / storage areas
  • Hygiene checkpoint compliance (handwash, sanitiser stations)
  • Service-area attention — greet, table, queue wait
  • Valet / drive-through plate logs
  • Pre-tuned models & zone presets for QSR / fine-dining layouts
  • WhatsApp shift-handover alerts & manager escalation
  • Vertical reporting templates

Fit for: QSR chains, fine-dining groups, cloud kitchens, central commissaries.

All editions share the same engine, the same camera support, and the same deployment options. You can move up an edition without re-installing — capabilities flip live on the existing stack.

Deployment

Cloud, on-prem, or both. Your data, your storage.

Cloud-managed

We host the console; the Site Agent at your premises bridges cameras over a relay. No port forwarding, no static IP, no VPN to maintain.

On-premise

Deploy the full stack on your own server. Hikvision, Dahua, ONVIF cameras feed in directly. Air-gapped if you want it that way.

Hybrid

Recording stays local for bandwidth and retention; detection metadata, alerts, and remote view ride the cloud. Default for most customers.

Edge
Linux server, Raspberry Pi 4 / 5, or x86 mini-PC. AP-mode setup for the Pi when there’s no DHCP yet.
Protocols
RTSP, ONVIF, RTMP (for SIM cams), WebRTC, HLS. H.264 and H.265.
Native vendors
Hikvision, Dahua / Amcrest, Frigate. Generic ONVIF for everything else.
Authentication
JWT, role-based access, per-site isolation, audit log of user actions.
Onboarding
Token-based site activation: admin generates a token, operator runs the installer, the site comes online by itself.
