The connection matters more than the camera brand.
If PerimeterEye can access the video stream, your camera can become part of the system—directly or through a compatible NVR using credentials you provide during setup.

What an upgrade changes
One camera and one staged break-in, shown three ways: the view on its own, with the Intelligence upgrade, and with Defense.
1 of 3 · A camera aloneView full size
A person at the driver’s door, on a camera that records. Unless someone opens the clip in time, nothing else happens.
2 of 3 · With IntelligenceView full size
The Brain reads the same moment: a person, no match to anyone it knows, loitering at the vehicle, contact with the door handle. The alert describes them in plain language.
3 of 3 · With DefenseView full size
Add a tracking searchlight, a siren, and AI voice warnings, and the camera’s view directs a response. Four seconds later, the searchlight is on the person at the driver’s door.
Stills from a vehicle break-in staged for filming on a real property, on the Front Door 2 camera’s clock (21:04:26 and 21:04:30). The system’s response was automatic, with no operator.
Two ways in
You do not need to replace a working camera system just to add PerimeterEye. The first step is establishing how its video can be accessed.
Direct camera connection
When your network cameras expose usable streams, the Brain connects to them using the camera’s connection details and authorized login.
NVR / recorder connection
If your network video recorder provides accessible streams for its camera channels, PerimeterEye can read those streams through the recorder using the login credentials you supply.
Have cameras plugged into the back of an NVR? Send us the recorder model as well as the camera models. We will check the best connection path for that setup.
What makes it compatible
There is no single-brand requirement. We check what your equipment actually makes available and how it connects on your property.
Have us review your equipmentSome app-only or cloud-only systems do not expose video to other systems. A subscription, app password, or sharing link alone may not be enough. We check the specific model before recommending an upgrade.
What you gain
The cameras provide the view. PerimeterEye connects the activity into events you can understand, review, and act on.
In this real app screenshot, PerimeterEye brings a landscaping crew’s activity across several camera views into one report—from their arrival through their time on the property to their departure.
Read written event reports, daily briefings, and hour-by-hour activity. Search past events in plain language.
Choose Defense or Complete to add PerimeterEye response hardware. The Brain commands the searchlight and coordinates the connected response using the activity seen by your cameras.

Let’s check your setup
You do not need to know the technical details. Start with the equipment you can identify, and we will help with the rest.
Add the number of cameras you want to connect.
If you use an NVR or DVR, include its model and whether your cameras connect through it.
Tell us the app or recorder you use, and whether you have access to its settings.
Please do not include passwords or private stream links. Login credentials are provided during setup, after the equipment review.
Before you choose
Yes, if your NVR provides usable video streams for the camera channels you want to connect. During setup, you provide authorized login credentials with permission to access those streams. We check the recorder model, channel access, and network connection. Being able to log in to the recorder’s own app is not, by itself, confirmation of stream access.
No. Compatibility is based on access to each camera’s video stream, rather than a requirement to use one camera brand. Tell us the models and whether they connect directly or through a recorder so we can review the setup.
A recorder can provide a connection path for older cameras if it exposes usable network video streams for their channels. We check the DVR and available video output. An analog camera connection on its own is not a network stream the Brain can access.
Not necessarily. The camera or recorder needs to make a usable video stream available to PerimeterEye. App login details, a cloud account, or a view-only sharing link may not provide that access. Send us the model and we can help establish what is available.
An upgrade is designed to use compatible equipment you already own. Your cameras can stay in place, and an NVR can remain part of the setup. We check whether it can serve the required streams alongside its existing recording workload.
Video compatibility does not automatically include control of a third-party camera’s speaker, siren, or pan-and-tilt functions. PerimeterEye response hardware is added separately or included in Defense and Complete upgrade packages. The Brain commands that connected hardware as part of the system.
Not in the compatibility form or by email. We only need equipment details for the initial review. Authorized camera or recorder credentials are provided during setup when the streams are connected. You do not need to publish a camera feed on the internet for us to review your equipment.
