Intelligent, Accurate, Private

Actionable insights

Video footage is transformed into actionable insights with advanced deep learning-based analytics, enhancing security without requiring additional personnel.

Actionable insights

Video footage is transformed into actionable insights with advanced deep learning-based analytics, enhancing security without requiring additional personnel.

On-prem recording and analytics

Powered by Synology DSM, footage is kept on the device, with options to flexibly backup or archive to other devices and locations.

Security & privacy

No footage is uploaded to the cloud for storage or analysis. Keep sensitive information secure and locked down.

No recurring fees

One-time hardware and license purchase, with no monthly subscriptions or additional fees for software updates.

Real-time results

Instead of post-event analysis, DVA3221 can notify security operators immediately when incidents occur.

Ease of integration

Compatible with over 7,600 IP cameras, and with ONVIF support, there is no need to replace or be locked into a specific brand of cameras.
