Add a SpyDocs edge device to your existing Hikvision, Dahua, CP Plus, or RTSP IP cameras. Detect people, vehicles, and number plates locally — then search footage, review incidents, and get Telegram alerts from a mobile-friendly cloud dashboard built for Indian homes, shops, and multi-site teams.
AI CCTV built for real security operations across India
YOLO runs on the edge device with motion gating — only meaningful CCTV events leave your premises.
Works with dome, bullet, and NVR streams already installed in Indian homes and businesses — no lock-in.
Footage indexed in AWS with semantic search and ANPR plate lookup across your full CCTV history.
Rule-based alarms via Telegram or browser push — not a notification for every shadow or passerby.
Progressive web app on any phone browser — review CCTV clips, search footage, and respond from anywhere across India.
Camera RTSP URLs and API keys stored encrypted on the edge — not plain text on your local network.
The challenge
“Secure CCTV ingestion, AI detection overlays, and operator-ready review — built for Indian homes, retail stores, and security teams who need answers in seconds, not hours.”
How it works
Edge device on-site, cloud intelligence in AWS, and a mobile-friendly progressive web dashboard — designed for Indian bandwidth and operations.
Your cameras + SpyDocs edge device
Plug Hikvision, Dahua, CP Plus, or any RTSP IP camera into a SpyDocs edge device. Motion-gated YOLO detects people, vehicles, and plates locally — uploading only meaningful frames over your existing network.
Cloud intelligence on what matters
Frames flow to AWS for deeper analysis — Indian ANPR, scene labels, vector search, and optional AI summaries. Heavy ML runs in the cloud, not on the edge device at your site.
Alerts, search, and review
Watch live detections, draw monitoring regions, set alarm rules, and get Telegram or push notifications. Search CCTV footage semantically from your browser or mobile-friendly PWA — anywhere in India.
On-site hardware
Plug in RTSP streams from your existing NVR or IP cameras, run motion-gated AI detection locally, and upload only the frames that matter — no bulky NVR replacement or proprietary lock-in required.
Platform
From edge capture on your existing cameras to cloud ANPR and semantic search — one integrated AI surveillance system.
Multi-camera timeline with AI bounding boxes, date filters, and label search. Review shop or society incidents without scrubbing hours of DVR footage.
Motion-gated AI on the edge device skips still frames — lower bandwidth on Indian broadband and only uploads people, vehicles, and meaningful events.
Draw zones on camera feeds. Track live counts for billing queues, society gates, parking, and restricted areas with rolling median accuracy.
Automatic number plate detection and read via cloud OCR. Search Indian vehicle registrations across your CCTV history in seconds.
Describe what you need — objects, crowd size, time of day, or scene context. Vector search across all stored recordings from one dashboard.
Rule-based alarms on consecutive detections. Telegram bot and mobile push — the alert channel Indian teams already use, without spam.
Heartbeat monitoring with temperature, RAM, disk, and uptime. Know edge devices across sites are online before an incident hits.
Progressive web app with a mobile-friendly Watch dashboard. Monitor cameras, review clips, and respond to alerts from any phone browser — no app store install required.
Use cases
Edge advantage
Most vendors upload every frame or rely on expensive cloud-only processing. SpyDocs detects locally with YOLO on the edge device, uploads only meaningful events, and offloads ANPR and search to AWS — saving bandwidth on typical Indian connections.
Motion gating, class filtering, and upload deduplication mean lower data costs, less cloud storage spend, and far fewer false alerts for guards and shop owners.

SpyDocs upgrades your existing IP CCTV cameras with AI surveillance. A compact edge device connects to your Hikvision, Dahua, CP Plus, or any RTSP camera on-site, runs motion-gated person and vehicle detection locally, and uploads only meaningful frames to the cloud. You then search footage, review incidents, and receive Telegram or push alerts from a mobile-friendly web dashboard — without replacing your NVR or DVR.
Read the full AI CCTV guide for IndiaNo. SpyDocs works with cameras and NVRs you already have installed in Indian homes, shops, warehouses, and apartment societies. If your camera exposes an RTSP stream — which most Hikvision, Dahua, and CP Plus IP cameras do — you add a SpyDocs edge device beside your existing setup. There is no proprietary camera lock-in and no need to buy an expensive new NVR box.
Add AI without replacing your NVRSpyDocs supports any RTSP IP camera, including popular brands in India such as Hikvision, Dahua, CP Plus, Honeywell, and Uniview. Dome, bullet, and NVR streams are all supported. During a demo we verify your RTSP URL, resolution, and network setup to confirm compatibility before deployment.
RTSP setup for Hikvision, Dahua, and CP PlusYes. SpyDocs includes automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) via cloud OCR on frames captured by your CCTV cameras. Detected plates are indexed so you can search recordings by vehicle registration number in seconds — useful for society gates, shop parking, loading bays, and warehouse entry points across India.
ANPR gate and parking guide for IndiaYou define alarm rules — such as a person detected in a restricted zone or a vehicle entering a parking bay — and SpyDocs sends alerts only when those rules trigger. Notifications arrive via Telegram bot and browser push, typically within a few seconds depending on network conditions, so guards and owners are not flooded with alerts for every shadow, passerby, or passing vehicle.
Meaningful event frames are uploaded to AWS for indexing, ANPR, semantic search, and long-term review. Edge AI on your premises filters out still and irrelevant frames first, which reduces bandwidth use on typical Indian broadband and mobile data connections. Your mobile-friendly Watch dashboard and progressive web app access stored footage securely from the cloud.
SpyDocs is designed for gated societies and homeowners, retail shops and showrooms, warehouses, offices, and multi-site operators or MSPs managing CCTV across cities. Use cases include gate monitoring, queue and occupancy analytics, parking ANPR, after-hours intrusion alerts, and fleet-wide device health across multiple branches.
Because YOLO detection runs on the edge device with motion gating, SpyDocs uploads only frames where people, vehicles, or meaningful activity are detected — not continuous 24/7 video. This hybrid edge-plus-cloud architecture typically uses far less bandwidth than cloud-only AI systems that send every frame upstream, which matters on constrained Indian broadband and leased lines.
