Your cameras and recorders
Type the make and model from the label, one line per model. Add NVRs and DVRs too: we connect the cameras behind them.
Make, type and resolution are read from the model number and are a best estimate. A Silarius specialist confirms every model, free, before you buy anything.
About the compatibility checker
How does the checker know if my camera works?
It reads the make and model number you type, works out the device type (IP camera, NVR, DVR or analog camera), its shape and its resolution, and matches that against what each maker supports: ONVIF, RTSP, or only its own app. A Silarius specialist then confirms every model for free with your quote.
What if my cameras are plugged into an NVR or DVR?
Type the recorder model and how many cameras are on it. The Silarius Gateway pulls each channel from the recorder, so the cameras keep working and the recorder can keep a local copy.
Why do some cameras need replacing?
Many consumer and cloud-locked cameras only stream to their maker’s app. They can’t send video to any other platform, so the checker suggests the closest Silarius X camera, which goes straight to Silarius Cloud with no Gateway.
How is the upload speed worked out?
From each camera’s resolution, H.265 video, 24/7 or motion-only recording and the quality you choose, plus 30% headroom. Your specialist fine-tunes it, and Silarius Cloud can record lower-bitrate streams when bandwidth is tight.
How many cameras does one Gateway handle?
Up to 50 devices per Gateway, per site. Larger sites use more than one, and every Gateway reports into the same Silarius Cloud account.
