Connect supported RTSP feeds from a broad range of IP cameras.
Kilo Lens
Video Management Software for IP Cameras from Any Brand
Connect compatible cameras across smart cities, transport networks, properties and offices. Your cameras only need to stream video: Kilo Lens adds live viewing, motion zones, recording, rules and alarms alongside your sensors.

Can IP camera software work with cameras from different brands?
Reuse compatible IP cameras from different manufacturers instead of replacing every site with one brand.
Distributed locations
Bring cameras from New York, Washington, and London into one organization.
Camera videowalls
Group cameras by city, site, floor, or operational area. Save a videowall and arrange its feeds for the team’s monitoring task.
Per-user access
Decide who can edit cameras, who can only watch and who has no access. Remove a person's access in one place without touching any camera.
Kilo Lens
Multi-site camera monitoring for cities, transport and property
Start with one camera and extend the same per-camera model across sites. Size local hosts and network connections for your deployment.
SMART CITIES

Use live video and selected-area motion alongside the IoT equipment that supports transport operations.
- ✓Traffic observation
- ✓Station and stop monitoring
- ✓Depot visibility
PROPERTY
See what needs attention
Connect security cameras across buildings and offices without requiring a single camera manufacturer.
- ✓Security monitoring
- ✓Property management
- ✓Distributed offices
Twin + Lens
Do you need AI cameras for motion detection?
No. With Lens, even an older camera becomes a smart camera. The camera only captures video. Twin and Kilo do the processing, so new features reach the cameras you already own as software updates.
Any camera streams video
Any compatible IP camera that offers an RTSP stream works, including older models. It needs no analytics processor or app of its own.
Twin works at your site
Twin runs on a computer at the site, detects motion in the zones you draw and can record to local storage.
Kilo adds the logic
Camera motion can start a rule, check a door or temperature sensor and raise an alarm with its escalation chain.
More AI is on the way
We are adding more AI to Lens. It runs off the camera, where there is room for more advanced models, and every connected camera gets it through software updates.
Lens + Twin
How does Twin connect an RTSP camera to Kilo?
Twin is the digital twin of a camera, installed as a Docker container at the site. Each Twin connects one camera: twenty cameras need twenty containers. Use motion zones and rules to turn an existing camera into a useful part of your IoT workflow.
- ✓Draw a doorway zone without including the busy street
- ✓Use the motion reading in a rule and raise an alarm
- ✓Configure local recording and retention in Twin
- ✓Use PTZ, presets, or audio where the camera supports them

Kilo Lens FAQ
What is an RTSP camera?+
An RTSP camera is an IP camera that sends its live video over RTSP, the Real Time Streaming Protocol. Most IP camera manufacturers support it. Twin connects to that stream, so Lens works with cameras from many brands instead of one.
Can I use my existing cameras?+
Yes, if they provide compatible RTSP streams. Check stream settings, credentials, codecs, and network access. Supported ONVIF cameras can also expose discovery and controls.
How many Twins do I need?+
One per camera. Two cameras use two Twin Docker containers; twenty cameras use twenty. Each has its own persistent configuration and identity.
Can an older camera detect motion in one area?+
Twin can detect movement in a rectangle or polygon you select. The camera does not need built-in AI. Configure the zone in Twin, then use the motion reading in a Kilo rule.
Where are recordings stored?+
Configure local recording and retention in Twin. Clips are saved to persistent storage on the host at your premises and can be played or downloaded through Twin.
