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.
Spin up an automatic 7-day trial in minutes — fully featured and online-only. No card, no cloud account — it runs on your hardware.
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.
