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.

- Add a single camera by IP and test it before it goes live
- Choose which cameras get AI analysis and which are view-only

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.

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.

256 hours of footage
One person at 4× speed needs about 64 hours, that is 8 working days.
