keynexis NVR

An open NVR for any camera surveillance.

Vendor-independent network video recording with optional AI video analytics — for sites of every kind, fully integrated into the keynexis platform.

Open standards · ONVIF · RTSP Optional edge AI Operated as SaaS
01Why it matters

Cameras — in the same platform that runs your access control and monitoring.

If you already run your sites on keynexis, the NVR adds live view, playback and event management to the platform you log into every day — no second tool, no second login, no parallel infrastructure.

A

One operator view

Floor plans, access control, monitoring and cameras share the same site, the same permissions and the same audit log.

B

Click a camera on the floor plan

Camera icons sit directly on the site's floor plan. One click opens live view or playback for the right room, the right zone, the right moment.

C

Faster incident response

AI events appear on the timeline alongside door, lock and access events — so an incident can be reconstructed in seconds.

D

Operated as SaaS

The hardware sits on site. Software, updates and portal access are provided and maintained by keynexis.

02What it is

A vendor-independent NVR with optional edge AI — delivered as SaaS.

  • RecorderLive view, recording and playback for existing IP camerasAny camera with ONVIF and RTSP can be connected
  • PortalWeb portal with floor plan, camera markers and timelineEmbedded in the keynexis platform
  • AI moduleOptional edge analytics on dedicated hardwareReal-time event detection on selected streams
  • NetworkHardened dual-network designCameras are isolated from the public internet by default
  • OperationSaaS subscription covers software, updates and the portalHardware on site, software cloud-managed
The system is built on open standards, so existing camera infrastructure keeps its value. Recorder, access network and the optional AI module are decoupled — each layer can be sized, scaled or replaced without touching the others.

04Network and security

Cameras stay isolated from the public internet. The portal is the only way in.

NIC 1 · Internal camera LAN
  • PurposeCameras and NVR only
  • ProtocolsRTSP and ONVIF, internal only
  • InternetCameras have no outbound internet access
  • VLANDedicated camera VLAN recommended
  • FirewallOnly the NVR may pull camera streams
NIC 2 · Access network · DMZ
  • AccessHTTPS on port 443, no other ports open
  • External RTSPNever exposed beyond the site
  • AuthenticationPortal login, token or OAuth2
  • TLSCertificate on a public domain or fixed IP
  • AdminVPN or a restricted IP allowlist

06NVR appliance

A compact on-site recorder, sized for an entire site.

The base appliance is designed for around 25 active cameras per site package and technically sized for 32 to 64 parallel recording streams.

07Storage options

Choose capacity to match retention period and site size.

Rule of thumb — 25 cameras at 4 Mbit/s each generate around 1 TB of recorded video per day. Storage is sized for the site's required retention period.

Option Technical class Suitable for
1 TB SSD NVMe — system & cache SSD Small installations, pilot projects, short playback retention
4 TB SSD NVMe — high-performance local video storage Mid-sized installations, several days of playback retention
8 TB SSD SATA or NVMe, depending on availability Larger sites, longer local retention

Storage is quoted on request, together with the appliance. For sustained high write loads, large camera counts and long retention periods, enterprise SSDs, HDD RAID or attached NAS/SAN storage can be offered on a per-project basis.

08Optional AI module

A dedicated GPU server for real-time video analytics.

The AI module runs on its own hardware alongside the NVR and analyzes selected camera streams in real time. The analytics model is maintained by keynexis as part of the SaaS.

09AI detection scenarios

Preconfigured event types for real-world surveillance environments.

01

Person on the ground

A person remains on the ground longer than a configured threshold — reported as a high-priority event.

02

Unusual movement

Movement patterns that deviate from normal behavior at the site — by time of day or zone.

03

Restricted-zone entry

A person enters a zone defined as off-limits — e.g. a plant room, storage or staff area.

04

Crowd formation

Several people gather in a defined area, exceeding a configured count.

05

Object left behind or removed

An item left behind, or an item removed from a monitored area — useful for entrance and corridor zones.

06

Safety incident

A fall, sudden standstill or escalation pattern — shown to the operator immediately for review.

Customer-specific training, additional models, industry-specific certifications and special-purpose analytics can be offered as a separate service.

10Event handling

From detection at the edge to an alarm on the floor plan.

  1. 01
    NVR or camera delivers an analysis stream
    Typically a dedicated substream — 720p, 5–10 fps
  2. 02
    The keynexis model analyzes every frame
    Runs on the on-site AI module — no video leaves the site
  3. 03
    An event is generated with confidence score and zone
    Delivered via event API, MQTT or webhook
  4. 04
    The portal raises an alarm, marker or timeline entry
    The operator opens the snapshot and jumps to playback in one click
