Anava offers a serverless edge platform that runs AI analytics directly on Axis ARTPEC and CV25 cameras via an ACAP app, removing the need for external servers or additional hardware. The solution supports any generative or vision model through API keys, delivering real‑time object detection, contextual alerts, and live talk‑down responses while keeping video data on‑premise.

Problem
Many organizations rely on traditional video surveillance systems that require separate servers, additional hardware, and complex network configurations to run AI analytics, leading to high costs, latency, and limited scalability.
Solution
Anava provides a serverless edge platform that runs AI models directly on Axis ARTPEC and CV25 cameras, eliminating the need for external servers or new hardware. Users install the ACAP application via a simple web interface, configure an API key for any generative AI service, and the camera processes video frames locally. The platform supports unlimited event and object detection, contextual real-time alerts, and live talk‑down responses, delivering results in 2.5–4 seconds. Because all computation occurs on the device, video data never leaves the premises, ensuring data sovereignty and reducing bandwidth usage. Anava’s AI‑agnostic design works with models from Gemini, OpenAI, Llama, or custom APIs, and integrates with any video management system.
Target Audience
Primary customers are security, facilities, and operations teams in retail, healthcare, manufacturing, transportation, and other enterprises that already deploy Axis cameras and need on‑premise AI analytics without added infrastructure.
