Sectech — OpenNVR Lebanon | AI Video Security You Own

Built for local reality

Why Lebanon needs a different kind of camera system

🔐

Recordings, sealed shut

Every second on disk is encrypted. Walk off with the box and you've stolen a brick of ciphertext — the footage never opens on your watch.

🧠

Sees — and understands

YOLO detectors track people and vehicles while vision-language models like Qwen-VL and Gemma-VL describe the scene in words you can search.

🤖

An agent that never sleeps

A built-in AI agent answers questions about your cameras, digs through the event log and keeps standing orders — your always-on security co-pilot.

🔔

Alerts that mean it

Severity-aware pushes hit your phone the moment it matters — one clean notification instead of a flood of motion spam.

And the rest of the toolbox, out of the box:

VPN-friendly Firewall IoT control Redundancy support Web panel Multi-screen support Logging

Security

Security is the architecture, not a checkbox

Four layers protect the footage, the box, and everyone who touches it — from a curious insider to a stolen recorder.

Recordings encrypted — theft-proof. Asymmetric cryptography seals recordings at rest: steal the device and you get ciphertext, never your footage.
Offline by nature, online by choice. Runs fully offline out of the box. When you want remote access, it plugs into your own online infrastructure — a self-hosted VPN, never a vendor cloud.
Open source, end to end. The whole stack is open source — auditable by anyone, no black boxes between your cameras and your alerts.
Firewall, authentication, authorization. Built-in firewall rules plus role-based user authentication and authorization gate every surface — including the agent's own tools.

Security features: encryption, open source, firewalls, offline first

Intelligence

Camera Agent — stop scrubbing, start asking

Most systems hand you a wall of thumbnails and let you dig. The camera agent does the digging: it queries your event logs, describes scenes in plain language, and manages alerts — conversationally, entirely on-device.

Query event logs, not video timelines. Hours of footage become a searchable record. Ask about a window of time and the agent sifts the log for you — no manual scrubbing, frame by frame.
Scene description that reads the frame. Caption models and vision-language models turn pixels into words — “three people loading a van at the dock” — answers you can search, share and act on.
Alert control, in conversation. Add an alert by asking for it. Review the alert log by asking what fired. The agent manages severity and history so you don't live in a config panel.

The OpenNVR Camera Agent answering questions about cameras

“Who came through the gate between 2 and 4?”

“Describe what happened at the loading bay.”

“Alert me if someone loiters at the back door.”

Intelligence

Intelligence suitable for every need

The clearest way to show the platform's flexibility is license plates — the same pattern applies to any model you pair with any rule.

Reads every plate, in real time. A detector finds the plate on the vehicle; an OCR model reads the characters. Plate, colour, camera and timestamp on every pass — logged and searchable.
Drives your gates and barriers. Plate decisions flow straight to IoT gate controllers — a relay pulse, a Shelly or Tasmota module, Modbus, or an ONVIF door controller. Allow opens; deny and unknown fail closed.
Ties into your payment stack. Pair recognition with a payment gateway for paid parking, toll lanes or compound access — recognise the vehicle, settle the fee, raise the barrier. We integrate with Whish Money and Stripe specifically, and anything else with an API.

Whish Money Stripe + any gateway with an API

High intelligence

High intelligence you can depend on

Vision models see. Custom rules understand context. Paired together, they catch what neither would alone — here's a bike that almost got stolen.

1

The rule you write

“The bike is normally operated at 8 AM and 6 PM. Operation during midnight is highly unlikely.” A one-line rule — no PhD required.

2

The vision model sees

At 1:13 AM, a person — not a cat, not a shadow — approaches the bike. The detector separates real intent from a passing animal.

3

Faces confirm, if you want

Pair a face-recognition model and the visitor is checked against your known-people list — family and neighbours wave through, strangers stand out.

4

The agent delivers the verdict

Rule + detections + faces, weighed together: possible theft in progress. Alert raised, snapshot attached, seconds after the approach — not found on playback next morning.

Talk to us

Software is free and open-source (AGPL) — the price covers the hardware, integration, AI setup and support. Cameras not included; any ONVIF/RTSP camera works.

FAQ

Questions we get in Lebanon

Does it need internet to work?

No. Recording, AI, search and the agent all run on-site with no internet at all. Internet is only needed if you choose remote viewing — and even then the cameras themselves never go online.

Are there monthly or per-camera fees?

None. The software is free and open-source forever. You pay once for the package; there is no subscription and no per-camera charge.

Can I use the cameras I already have?

Almost certainly yes — any camera that speaks ONVIF or RTSP works, which covers most Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink and generic IP cameras. We check your models before install.

Is my footage private? Does anyone else see it?

No one. Footage and AI run on hardware at your site. Nothing is uploaded to a vendor cloud, and the system can be run fully air-gapped.

Does the AI agent understand Arabic?

The site and our support are in Arabic. The voice agent works best in English today; you can always type your questions. Models can be extended — ask us about Arabic support.

What about power cuts?

The box draws roughly 15 W, so a small UPS keeps it — and your cameras via PoE injector — running through outages. We size it with you during setup.

Who installs and supports it?

Sectech does the install, configures zones, rules, watchlists and the agent, and trains your team. Support and updates are included for one year with both packages.
