Iris turns your RTSP cameras into a real-time AI surveillance platform: detection, event recording, people analytics, live subtitles and a built-in camera security audit — running entirely on your hardware. No cloud. No subscription lock-in. Privacy-first by design.
Most products do one of these. Iris does them together on a single GPU, so you get cross-camera understanding without stitching five vendors together.
People, vehicles and more, detected on a non-blocking pipeline; event clips cut from a warm buffer at near-zero CPU. Per-camera trigger classes and zones.
The headline capability: persistent identities followed across cameras, anchored on a quality-gated face — with anti-explosion and reflection suppression so one person never becomes dozens.
Counting, dwell time, loitering, zone crowd alerts and activity classification — actionable business and safety metrics, not just footage.
Real-time subtitles, translation and saved-clip transcripts; speaker and sound tagging. Works on audio independently of motion.
A unified module to test your own CCTV estate for RTSP/ONVIF/DVRIP/Hikvision/XM weaknesses and known CVEs — find exposed cameras before attackers do.
Hand-rolled ONVIF (device/media/imaging/PTZ), focus-hold watchdog, and one-click network discovery to onboard multi-camera NVRs.
All models bundled, no phone-home in the hot path. Ship to sensitive sites that have no internet at all — and keep working.
When you have a lawful basis, enable consent-gated face recognition and age/gender. Off by default to keep you clean out of the box.
Russian and English throughout the interface, with a mobile-friendly single-page app — no plug-ins, no installs for operators.
Detection-only by default. Out of the box Iris detects, records and counts — it does not identify named individuals. That keeps a standard deployment outside the strictest biometric regimes (GDPR special-category, EU AI-Act high-risk, BIPA, Russia’s 152-FZ).
Biometrics are an explicit opt-in. Face recognition and voiceprints turn on only when you have a lawful basis and consent — and we ship the templates (privacy notice, DPIA, consent forms) to help you get there.
Your data stays yours. Everything runs on-premises; secrets are encrypted at rest; access is role-based; the optional licence heartbeat carries no personal data. Read more under why teams choose Iris and the FAQ.

One GPU, one box, one platform — without the recurring cloud bill or the data-residency headache. See editions & trial.
A thin installer sets up the GPU runtime and the Iris appliance — on Linux or Windows (WSL2). Or order a ready appliance.
Start a free 7-day trial automatically, or activate a hardware-bound licence. Both online; the paid licence then works offline.
Auto-discover ONVIF/RTSP cameras, pick trigger classes, and watch live. Signed, health-gated updates keep you current — with automatic rollback.
Everything you need for security, safety and analytics — without biometric identification.
Opt-in biometrics with consent + a commercial face-model licence.
Perpetual per-camera licensing or a ready hardware+software appliance — for RU/CIS and international markets. Talk to us for a quote.
Runs entirely on your own hardware. Full features, online-only, no card. Pick your OS — the installer sets up everything (Docker, GPU) automatically, then activates your licence or starts the trial.

No. Iris runs entirely on your hardware. Your video, audio and metadata never leave your premises; the optional licence check transmits only a licence id and hardware fingerprint — no personal data.
Yes — fully offline / air-gapped after a one-time setup. A paid licence works offline; you apply signed updates when you choose to connect, with automatic health-gated rollback.
No. Iris is detection-only by default. Biometric features are an explicit, consent-gated opt-in, so a standard deployment stays clear of the strictest biometric regulations.
A single NVIDIA GPU (T4/L4-class). Iris runs a full multi-camera AI pipeline on one GPU, on Linux or Windows via WSL2 — or order a ready appliance.
The interface is fully localized in Russian and English, and we serve both RU/CIS and international customers with appropriate update channels and compliance materials.
