  • Works for people and for motorbikes with their riders
  • Each sighting plays from the moment they appeared until they left

Face search

Start from a photo. Even an old CNIC.

Upload any photo with a face, even the photo printed on a CNIC years ago. ARGUS finds that person in everything your cameras have recorded, on any day and in any clothes, and shows the best matches first.

  • Works from a CNIC photo, even a poor-quality one taken 5 to 8 years ago
  • Set how close a match must be, from 50% to 90%
  • Narrow the search to a date and time range
  • Needs a clear view of the face. Faces seen from behind or far away are not stored.

Plate and vehicle search

Find a car by its plate, or by how it looks.

Type the plate any way you remember it, all of it or just the digits. When nobody caught the number, search by make, model and colour instead.

Watch list and live alerts

Add a plate or a face. Know the moment any camera sees it.

Whether your site has 100 cameras or 1,000, nobody has to sit and stare at screens. ARGUS checks every AI camera against your watch list around the clock and alerts the dashboard the moment there is a match, with the camera, the time and the picture.

  1. 1

    Add a plate or a face

    Type a number plate or upload a face photo, even from a CNIC. Watch it for up to 24 hours.

  2. 2

    Every camera checks, live

    All AI cameras compare every person and car they see against your list.

  3. 3

    You get an alert at once

    Which camera, what time and the picture, with a sound so nobody misses it.

Investigation tools

Everything an investigation needs, on one screen.

Once ARGUS finds something, these are the tools you use to follow it up.

Live wall

Every camera on one wall, from 1 to 8 per row. Double-click a camera for full screen and drag tiles into the order you want.

−1 min · −10 s · Pause · +10 s · +1 min14:32:10

Synced playback

Play up to 9 cameras at the same moment. See where someone came from and where they went next.

Recordings by subject

Pick a camera and a day, then click a person or vehicle. The clip runs from when they appeared until they left.

Deployment

Your footage stays on your site.

ARGUS runs on a server at your premises and connects to the cameras and recorders you already have. No footage is uploaded to a cloud.

  • Enter your recorder's address and login once. ARGUS finds every channel and shows a still from each before you save.
  • Add a single camera by IP and test it before it goes live
  • Choose which cameras get AI analysis and which are view-only

Questions

Before you book a demo

Do we need new cameras?

Usually not. ARGUS connects to the IP cameras and NVRs you already have, including Dahua, Hikvision, Uniview and TP-Link Tapo, and most other cameras that stream over RTSP.

For the best face and number-plate results, we recommend 4MP cameras (2560 × 1440) or higher. When we add your cameras, ARGUS measures each one's picture size, so we can tell you which cameras are good enough and which ones are worth upgrading.

How many cameras can ARGUS handle?

There is no fixed limit. ARGUS is built to scale, from a single office with a handful of cameras to large campuses with hundreds or thousands. Our team plans the setup around the number of cameras you want analysed and the features you use, and it grows with you as you add more cameras.

Does our footage leave the site?

No. ARGUS runs on a server installed at your premises. Video, faces and search results stay on that server.

Can we search with a CNIC photo?

Yes. Upload a photo of the CNIC and ARGUS uses the face printed on it, even when the photo is low quality or several years old.

What hardware does it need?

It depends on your site. Our team looks at how many cameras you have and which AI features you need, such as face search, plate search or live alerts, and recommends the right server for you.

How does the demo work?

Fill in the demo form. Once we approve it, we email you a private login to a demo ARGUS loaded with sample footage. The login works for 30 minutes from the first time you sign in, then expires.

Can a camera be view-only?

Yes. You choose which cameras get AI analysis. View-only cameras still appear on the Live wall.

Time saved

How much footage would you have to watch?

Set the sliders for your site. This is how much video someone would have to scroll through to find one person or one car without ARGUS.
