Your Command Center for Smart Security Videolytics is the command center for smart security — at home, at the office, or across an entire fleet of sites. Native 4K AI analytics spot threats over 100 meters away, sort intruders from workers before you ever look, and explain in plain language what needs your attention. Now redesigned for iOS 26 with Liquid Glass. The AI Sees What Your Eye Can't Our cloud service is 300X more efficient than traditional GPU-based systems, analyzing every single frame at full native resolution — HD, 4K, or 8K. While typical systems downsample footage and look at one frame per second, Videolytics misses nothing. An ordinary camera can identify a person over 100 meters away, compared to typical systems that struggle beyond 10. New in 2.x, every event is classified and prioritized. Workers, intruders, vehicles, and animals are recognized on sight, and each AI alert is tiered by threat — critical, medium, or low — so the urgent ones surface first. A plain-language summary appears with every event ("Non-worker near moving truck in restricted area, safety hazard"), so you know what happened before you press play. Tap an object in the filmstrip and the player zooms in and follows it through the recording. Every event is preserved in a fast, day-grouped history with sticky section headers, full-text search, and label filters — review years of footage with full context: image, type, location, timestamp. Yours to Tune Take control with the most flexible alert system available. Set custom weekly schedules that adapt to your operations — enhanced monitoring during work hours, relaxed settings during family time. Define fine-grained activity zones to focus on entryways, driveways, loading docks, or sensitive areas around windows and valuables. Adjust motion sensitivity to your environment and choose exactly which object types trigger alerts. Instant notifications carry full-view snapshots for motion alerts or zoomed-in crops for AI-detected events. Tap any notification image to play the event and browse neighboring incidents, or tap Watch Live to stream real-time footage and the latest events at the same time. Communicate clearly with full-duplex audio — dedicated channels for speaker and microphone, no walkie-talkie interruptions. Tap the alarm button to sound a powerful siren for immediate warning, and activate the spotlight with a single tap for clear nighttime visibility. Whether you're greeting a delivery person or deterring an intruder, you have complete control at your fingertips. Designed for iOS 26. Built for Any Number of Sites. The 2.x redesign brings Apple's iOS 26 Liquid Glass to every surface — navigation, tab bar, segmented controls, and the new accordion section headers. Underneath, an explicit Places × Devices model scales from a single home camera to a corporate fleet across HQ, data centers, warehouses, and retail. A segmented site picker on Home and Events switches from every site to a single one in one tap. Whether you're monitoring your home, a small business, or a multi-site operation, Videolytics delivers professional-grade security that's intuitive and reliable. Take action at every moment that matters. Download Videolytics today and experience security redefined by artificial intelligence.
