The Intelligence Hub is the device we loan you. It sits next to your router and connects to your cameras over ethernet.

It ingests the camera video at the property and can send output actions to connected devices (for example a spoken warning). All behavioural detection runs in our cloud. Event footage stays on the Hub. If you have opted for an external hard disk, 24/7 recording stays on that disk at the property too. The Hub is compatible with most NVRs.

Think of it as the gateway at the property: cameras in, actions out, event footage on the Hub, detection in the cloud.
