From legacy CCTV to intelligent security. Somaxis makes your system smarter.
Local AI security for existing cameras
Live View
Somaxis connects to your existing camera feeds and turns them into a local, AI-aware security console. Operators can see what is happening now while private agents watch for meaningful events in the background.
Live CCTV, local processing, and detection context in one operational view.
Detections
Real-time understanding turns raw footage into structured events. Somaxis classifies people, vehicles, doors, alerts, zones, and objects so teams can focus on what changed instead of staring at every camera.
Every detection is timestamped, explained, and routed into an auditable activity stream.
Agent Actions
Rules tell Somaxis what matters. Private AI agents monitor scenes continuously, trigger alerts only when intent or context matches, and keep a clear activity trail for operators.
Use plain-language rules to watch doors, zones, crowds, packages, vehicles, and more.
System Health
Somaxis keeps the full security stack observable: camera availability, AI engine health, local storage, network throughput, and alert delivery. Problems are visible before they become blind spots.
Monitor cameras, inference, storage, and alerts without sending video to the cloud.
REAL-WORLD APPLICATIONS
Built for the cameras already watching.
Somaxis turns existing CCTV infrastructure into an intelligent monitoring system. No rip-and-replace. No new camera network. Connect the feeds you already have and give Somaxis the events, behaviors, and situations you want it to watch for.
Your cameras capture thousands of hours of video. Most of it is never watched — and the moments that matter can disappear inside it.
Somaxis changes that.
Local AI continuously watches your existing feeds, understands what is happening across them, and acts when something matches the rules you care about.
