The Clever Control Unit

One box. Every camera. AI on site.

The hub plugs into your existing CCTV and runs the detection right there. It watches up to 10 cameras, tells real threats from animals and shadows, and fires the siren when it is sure.

What the hub does

Serious detection. Zero fuss.

AI that knows a person from a shadow

The hub tells people and vehicles apart from animals, shadows and weather. Real threats trigger the alert and the siren; everything else is quietly logged for later.

Power, and one cable to your router

Put it on a shelf, plug it in and scan the QR code. The hub finds your ONVIF cameras on the network by itself. No RTSP URLs to type, no port forwarding.

Every camera, in one place

The cameras the hub discovered show up in CleverAlert straight away, live, with the hub's status above them.

Privacy zones

Mask the road, the neighbour or the public pavement so they are never watched or recorded. You can also delete any snapshot on the spot.

A siren that only sounds for real

The included siren plugs straight into the hub and fires on confirmed alarms. A loud, physical deterrent, only when it matters.

Why it matters

A beam can't tell the difference. CleverCam can.

An alarm that goes off for everything gets ignored, by you and by the control room. CleverCam only raises the alarm for a person or a vehicle, and shows you which.
