Local AI CCTV Security — Ottawa, ON

AI-Powered CCTV Security in Ottawa

In a city defined by the federal government and Kanata North — Canada's largest tech park — data sovereignty isn't a preference, it's policy. Somaxis fits Ottawa because nothing leaves the building: detection runs on local hardware, footage stays on-prem, and security teams get real-time alerts without a cloud dependency anywhere in the chain.

Serving Ottawa and surrounding communities

Somaxis deploys on-site in Ottawa — our team assesses your existing cameras, installs local AI hardware, and hands your staff a live monitoring console.

Where Somaxis fits in Ottawa

Schools & campuses

The Ottawa-Carleton District School Board operates well over a hundred schools across the capital. Somaxis adds live AI monitoring to their existing cameras — after-hours entries, altercations, restricted zones — while keeping student footage entirely within board networks.

Retail & commercial

ByWard Market's restaurants and shops handle dense evening crowds; Kanata's campuses handle sensitive after-hours access. Somaxis covers both with per-property rules on cameras already installed, alerting staff by SMS, app or the security desk the moment a rule matches.

Common deployments

  • Kanata North technology park
  • ByWard Market and downtown retail
  • Federal precinct and office properties
  • OCDSB and OCSB school campuses
