On your local network
Open the local viewer and controls from a supported browser at the site. Review permitted cameras and locally stored footage.

At your site.
At your fingertips.
Your cameras see the activity. Local appliances process it. Your team gets the context to act, wherever they work.
Planned architecture. Hardware, capacity and integrations are being evaluated.
ONE CONNECTED SYSTEM
A clear path from
camera to context.
Processing, retention and viewing are separate choices. Grow the part of the system your site needs.

BlackSight cameras and supported existing cameras connect through your site network.

Local processing
On-site appliances handle streams and planned AI analysis. A site controller coordinates the setup.

Choose retention separately from compute: local storage, optional cloud storage, or both.

Ways to connect
The on-site system connects to authorized camera streams. Cameras do not need built-in AI or a manufacturer cloud subscription for the intended local workflow; compatibility must be verified by model.
START SMALL. ADD WHAT YOU NEED.
One appliance.
Then room to grow.
In a single-appliance installation, that device is also the site controller. Add processing devices as the workload grows, with one controller coordinating camera assignments and storage.
A larger installation may use a dedicated controller. Camera capacity per appliance and the point at which a separate controller makes sense will be based on testing, not a fixed promise.

More history.
Your choice of storage.
Explore the intended options. Recording storage grows independently of the appliance running the AI.
Local storage is the baseline. Cloud and hybrid retention remain optional roadmap proposals.
On-site systemLocal recording storage
Keep the archive at your site.
Use a compatible local storage device for the recording archive. Add capacity around the number of cameras, their bitrate and the history you want to retain.
- Recordings stay on site
- Local review is designed to continue without internet
- Remote viewing still needs a working connection
Local recording is not an off-site backup. Consider how you would protect important clips if equipment is damaged or stolen.
ONE EXPERIENCE, WHEREVER YOU WORK
At the desk.
Across sites. On the move.
Planned viewers share the same site and camera permissions. Remote access is an access choice, separate from where recordings are stored.
Through the cloud
Use the planned remote dashboard to work across locations. Remote viewing requires connectivity even when the recordings stay on site.
Optional remote accessOn iPhone and Android
Planned mobile apps bring event review, live views and playback to authorized users away from their desks.
Explore mobileA FEW PRACTICAL QUESTIONS
Before the first
camera connects.
Does every camera need AI built in?
No. The intended architecture performs AI on the local appliance. Camera selection focuses on image quality, reliable streams and supported interfaces.
What happens if the internet goes down?
Local recording and supported local processing are intended to continue while cameras, the network, appliance and storage remain powered and available. Remote access, uploads and cloud-dependent functions may stop. Outage and recovery behavior still need validation.
How many cameras can one appliance handle?
We have not published a validated limit. Capacity depends on stream settings, hardware, models and analysis frequency. We will test representative workloads before offering a supported configuration.
Does remote viewing require cloud recording?
No, they are separate parts of the planned architecture. The remote viewer is intended to reach authorized live views and on-site recordings through a secured connection. Cloud retention is an additional option under evaluation.
Who designs and installs the system?
Our initial approach is through dealers and installers. Your installer plans coverage, networking, power, appliance capacity and storage. BlackSight is developing the platform and qualified hardware offering.
