AI video surveillance

Your cameras see everything. Just not what matters.

Traditional surveillance cameras record and look away. CAVRIX makes them alert: real-time AI video analytics, hardened cameras and legally compliant video surveillance, from a single provider.

A security camera today is a computer on the network. It can be your best sensor or your biggest way in. Usually it's both, set up wrong.

The numbers

The reality in numbers

87 %

of German companies are hit by theft, espionage or sabotage.

600,000

devices were hijacked by the Mirai botnet alone, mostly cameras and routers.

73,000+

surveillance cameras sit openly on the internet worldwide, protected only by default passwords.

26 %

of companies experienced physical sabotage of equipment or processes.

The threat picture

There's a gap between cyber and physical security.

Cybersecurity01

The camera is the way in.

IP cameras often hang straight on the network with a default password and outdated firmware. A hijacked device becomes a springboard into the company network or a DDoS weapon. That's exactly how Mirai grew across hundreds of thousands of cameras.

Physical security02

Recording isn't preventing.

Most cameras only store footage. The break-in, the open door, the movement at 2am: nobody sees it in real time. You find out about the incident once the damage is long done, watching it back on the tape.

Compliance03

Set up wrong, the camera becomes a liability.

Video surveillance without a legal basis, a deletion concept, signage and documentation carries fines. The tool meant to protect you quickly turns into a data-protection breach with your name on it.

The solution

Seeing cameras. Secure cameras. Legally sound cameras.

CAVRIX treats video surveillance as what it is today: IT security with a view into the real world. Three layers, one point of contact.

AI video analytics that think.

  • Real-time detection of people, vehicles and objects
  • Anomaly alerts after hours
  • Perimeter and zone monitoring
  • Fewer false alarms thanks to AI filtering

Cameras that are secure themselves.

  • Dedicated camera network segment (VLAN), no direct access from the internet
  • Firmware and patch management
  • Default credentials replaced, access hardened
  • Continuous monitoring for compromise

Legally sound and in the Command Center.

  • GDPR concept, signage and documentation
  • Defined retention periods, recordings hosted in the EU
  • Alerts in your channels (Teams, WhatsApp, Slack, voice)
  • One point of contact for technology, AI and compliance

FAQ

Questions about video surveillance

  • Do I need to buy new cameras?

    Usually not. We integrate your existing IP cameras as long as they support common standards (ONVIF/RTSP) and harden them. Where hardware is missing or too old, we recommend and integrate suitable models.

  • Is this GDPR-compliant?

    Yes. Video surveillance needs a legal basis, purpose limitation, clear retention periods, signage and documentation. We set that up properly, and recordings stay in the EU.

  • What does the AI detect?

    People, vehicles and objects, movement in defined zones, behavior after hours and perimeter breaches. False alarms from animals, light or weather are filtered out.

  • What if something happens at night?

    The AI detects it in real time and alerts you proactively, via Teams, WhatsApp or voice. Critical incidents: response in under 15 minutes.

  • Why through CAVRIX instead of a camera installer?

    Because camera security is IT security today. We harden the cameras as network devices, run the AI analytics and handle compliance, all from a single provider.
