Use the cameras and recorders already on site.

Talos is the console on top of your installed estate. It does not replace your recorder, and it does not need a new camera brand.

Your recorder

Keep your recorder.

Talos sits on top of what you have. There is nothing to replace and no footage to move.

  • Cameras staySame cameras, same positions, same cabling.
  • Recorder staysRecordings remain on your NVR, DVR or camera SD card.
  • Talos adds the consoleOne place to watch, search and act on what your cameras see.

Not supported today

What Talos does not do.

Better to know before a demo than after.

  • Replacing your recorder. Playback uses recordings stored on your NVR, DVR or camera SD card.
  • Full control of basic cameras. A basic camera gives live view only.
