Edge Infrastructure, Simplified.
Surveillance Edge Reliability

Surveillance Edge Reliability — Keep Every Camera Recording, Even When the Network Fails

Resilient edge infrastructure for continuous CCTV recording, local AI processing and seamless recovery across every site.

The Problem

Surveillance fails exactly when you need it most

Downtime means lost evidence, compliance risks, and reputational damage — and traditional architectures assume the network is always there.

Connectivity drops

WAN outages take cameras offline and stop recording mid-incident.

Edge devices crash

Unattended hardware failures result in silent loss of footage.

Central recording unreachable

When the cloud or NVR is down, evidence simply disappears.

The Solution

Edge infrastructure that records through anything

We design, deploy and manage Raspberry Pi based edge nodes that buffer footage locally, run AI analytics on-device and re-sync automatically when connectivity returns.

  • Local recording buffers at every site
  • On-device AI threat detection
  • Automatic recovery and resync
  • Centralised remote management

FAQ

Common questions about surveillance edge reliability

Does this replace our NVRs?

No — Scaler Pi edge nodes complement your existing NVR or VMS, adding local resilience and intelligence without ripping out what works.

Can this work with existing cameras?

Yes. We integrate with most IP cameras and standards (RTSP, ONVIF) so you can keep the cameras already on the wall.

What happens during network outages?

Footage continues to record locally on the edge node, AI analytics keep running on-device, and everything resyncs automatically when the link is back.

How secure is edge processing?

Devices are hardened, encrypted at rest and in transit, centrally managed, and patched remotely with full audit trails.

What is the deployment time?

Most pilot deployments are live in under 4 weeks; estate-wide rollouts run in parallel waves with zero impact on existing recording.
