Orion Alerts
Orion Alerts is an on-premise video surveillance and intelligence platform for organizations managing IP cameras across multiple sites. Running on Linux-based Nebula OS, it combines video management for live viewing, playback and alarms with AI analytics for intrusion, PPE violations, smoke, loitering and occupancy. Camera health monitoring checks devices, recording, storage and network status; asset tracking and AMC management organize equipment, warranties, service contracts and maintenance. It connects compatible cameras and recorders using ONVIF, RTSP and vendor SDKs, subject to model compatibility. Video and AI processing run on a local appliance or server, while Orion Cloud provides a central multi-site view of alerts, camera health and maintenance data. System integrators and security teams use it for surveillance, safety and equipment oversight across plants, warehouses and campuses.

VISEC
Free for life on one camera license: VISEC turns a Windows 10/11 PC into a video surveillance system with license plate recognition built in. Press scan and it finds your ONVIF IP cameras (Hikvision, Dahua, Reolink, Amcrest, Axis, Uniview, Tapo and 99% of ONVIF cameras). Watch every camera live across up to 8 monitors, record only when something moves in the zones you draw, and get an email with a snapshot the moment it happens. Recordings stay on your own drive: no cloud, no subscription. Included in every license, even the free one: number plate recognition (over 100 kph, 80%+ of countries, GPU accelerated), QR code reading, access control that opens gates and doors through ONVIF and Axis camera I/O, remote viewing, and Secret mode, where one hotkey hides VISEC completely and the same hotkey brings it back while it keeps recording. More cameras are a one-time purchase. Made by the same team since 2002.
