COSTA MESA, Calif.—EnGenius Technologies Inc., a provider of cloud networking solutions, recently announced its AI cloud surveillance solution, featuring advanced AI-powered cameras and network video systems integrated with a cloud management platform.

The company showcased this new AI, cloud-based platform at ISC West 2025 back in April, and EnGenius says this solution streamlines traditional video surveillance by integrating edge AI processing, built-in storage, and cloud AI contextual recognition, while also enabling existing ONVIF cameras to leverage advanced AI capabilities. By combining Edge and Cloud AI in one unified platform, this solution is said to streamline how businesses across all sectors protect their assets and respond to security incidents with unprecedented intelligence and efficiency.

The solution’s contextual recognition capability marks an advancement in surveillance technology, powered by cloud-based AI utilizing Large Multimodal Models (LMM).

“While traditional surveillance systems only detect basic movements like people walking or cars passing by, our solution actually identify specific behavioral patterns – whether it’s a friendly gathering turning hostile, someone suspiciously casing a store before theft, or unsafe behavior in a workplace,” says Roger Liu, executive vice president at EnGenius Technologies. “What truly sets our system apart is its ability to analyze contextual sequences rather than just single-frame images, enabling preventive alerts before incidents occur. For example, our Cloud AI can identify fatigued and inattentive workers on a manufacturing line and send alerts to managers, preventing accidents before they happen.”

Complementing the contextual recognition capabilities, the platform features AI-powered natural language search with multi-language support. EnGenius explains that security personnel can quickly find specific incidents using conversational queries like “people wearing red shirts and holding a weapon in a convenience store” across all cameras. Powered by multimodal Large Language Models (LLM), this intuitive search understands context and behaviors, dramatically reducing investigation time while delivering actionable security insights for rapid, informed responses.

EnGenius states the platform provides a flexible approach to intelligent surveillance deployment. At its core, EnGenius AI cameras offer complete NVR-free operation with built-in storage and edge processing. For businesses with existing ONVIF cameras, the AI-powered Network Video System (AI-NVS) upgrades these cameras with advanced AI capabilities, while also providing enterprise-grade RAID storage for reliable backup.

According to EnGenius, the cloud-based platform transforms traditional security management by consolidating complex infrastructure into a single, unified system. Cameras, AI-NVS, switches, access points, and VPN routers are all managed from an intuitive dashboard, accessible from any device. Businesses can then the company asserts, scale from single locations to multi-site deployments, all while maintaining centralized control.

The AI Cloud Surveillance Solution delivers real-time, AI-powered alerts tailored to various industries. EnGenius suggests for example, that retailers can detect theft attempts, loitering, or overcrowding, enabling rapid responses. Schools, it continues, can monitor for bullying, unauthorized access, or crowd formations to ensure safety. In corporate offices and warehouses, the system flags restricted area breaches or unusual activity during off-hours, improving security and operational efficiency across all sectors.
