About 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.

Silarius Cloud
Silarius Cloud is a cloud video surveillance and video management service for businesses that need remote access to live and recorded footage across one or more sites. It records compatible ONVIF or RTSP IP cameras through a Silarius Gateway, while Silarius X cameras connect directly to the service. Users can view cameras in a browser or mobile app, review and share clips, manage site users and camera permissions, and receive email or push alerts. Optional cloud analytics support object search, people and vehicle detection, counting, heat maps, license-plate recognition, and other detections. Recording quality and retention are set per camera, with standard plans offering retention from several days up to one year and custom plans extending to three years. NVRs and DVRs are not connected as recorders, though compatible IP cameras attached to an NVR can be connected separately.

PRTG Catches Network Issues Before They Cause Downtime
Reactive troubleshooting usually means hearing about a problem from frustrated users, not your monitoring tool. PRTG sets threshold-based alerts across devices, servers and applications, notifying your team by email, SMS or push the moment a metric crosses a set limit. That means catching a failing disk or overloaded server before it becomes an outage and getting time back from firefighting. Start a free trial and set your first alerts today.
