NABIK SMART SURVEILLANCE
Keep Your Cameras. Upgrade Their Intelligence.
Add AI-powered detection, event review, and smarter surveillance to compatible existing IP cameras without unnecessarily replacing your entire CCTV system.
Camera compatibility and AI Box capacity must be assessed.
YOUR EXISTING CAMERAS STILL HAVE VALUE
Why Replace an Entire CCTV System Just to Get Smarter Features?
Your cameras may already provide usable video, even if search, alerts, and review are limited. Replacing every camera can add equipment purchases, installation work, and disruption. Nabik offers another approach: add AI processing to compatible existing streams.
Add AI Through Dedicated Hardware
Use a Nabik AI Box to process supported streams and add intelligent monitoring.
Upgrade Gradually
Start with appropriately sized hardware and add compatible cameras as required.
A PRACTICAL WAY TO UPGRADE
Keep the Cameras. Connect the AI Box. Get More From Your Footage.
Nabik connects to supported network video streams from cameras or compatible video equipment.
- STEP 01
Existing Cameras
Installed IP cameras capture activity as usual.
- STEP 02
Network Connection
Compatible video streams travel through a suitable local network.
- STEP 03
Nabik AI Box
Configured streams enable AI detection, recording, and event processing.
- STEP 04
Smart Monitoring
Review events, manage recordings, and configure alerts or integrations.
Nabik may operate alongside an existing NVR or DVR. Removing existing recording equipment depends on the full system design and requirements.
UNDERSTAND CAMERA COMPATIBILITY
Which Existing Cameras Can Work With Nabik?
Compatibility depends on usable video streams, rather than just a manufacturer name. Models, firmware, and recording devices support different connection methods.
IP Cameras
Many Ethernet, PoE, and compatible network cameras can work when they expose accessible supported streams.
Wi-Fi IP Cameras
Streaming support and stable connectivity matter. Cloud-only Wi-Fi cameras may not be compatible.
Existing NVR Systems
Direct camera streams or supported streams through compatible equipment may be usable, depending on configuration.
Analog CCTV Through DVR
Analog cameras do not connect directly as IP cameras. Certain DVRs or encoders can expose suitable network streams.
Cloud-Only Cameras
Proprietary apps or cloud-only operation can prevent access to a usable video stream.

Built for Compatibility, Not Just One Camera Brand.
Supported connection methods exist across multiple manufacturers. Reliability varies by model, firmware, codec, and configuration.
MANUFACTURER EXAMPLES · MODEL VERIFICATION REQUIRED
HikvisionDahuaReolinkAxisTP-Link VIGIAmcrestUniviewUbiquiti / UniFi Protect
These examples have documented connection methods or configurations. They do not certify every model, and do not imply endorsement, partnership, or certification by the manufacturers.
RTSP Video Streams
Many IP cameras expose RTSP or another supported stream format.
ONVIF Discovery
Can assist discovery on supported devices. ONVIF alone does not guarantee compatibility.
H.264 Video
Generally provides broad playback and streaming compatibility.
H.265 Video
May work in suitable setups; playback, transcoding, hardware, and browser support vary.
Main Streams & Substreams
Use a higher-quality recording stream and a separate stream suited to detection where supported.
Actual compatibility requires checking the model and available stream configuration. No manufacturer logos or certification badges are used.
MORE INTELLIGENCE FROM EXISTING VIDEO
More Than a Camera Upgrade. A Smarter Way to Monitor.
A properly configured AI Box can turn supported existing video streams into more useful monitoring and recording.

Physical mounting, new cabling, electrical work, and unrelated infrastructure upgrades are not included unless separately agreed in writing. Site visits and additional services may carry separately quoted charges.
PRACTICAL RECOMMENDATIONS
Sometimes the Right Upgrade Includes Better Cameras.
Some hardware limitations cannot be resolved by adding an AI Box. Upgrading selected cameras may be more practical.
No Compatible Video Stream
The camera or DVR does not expose an accessible supported stream.
Poor Image Quality
Video is too unclear for useful detection at the required distance.
Unstable Network Connection
Streams repeatedly disconnect or suffer severe network problems.
Unsupported Proprietary System
An app-only system has no suitable integration method.
Our goal is to recommend a suitable setup, not to replace equipment unnecessarily.
YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Existing Camera Support.
Nabik can work with compatible existing IP cameras and certain video equipment that provide supported network streams. Compatibility depends on the camera model, connection method, firmware, and configuration.
The underlying system documents connection methods for cameras from manufacturers including Hikvision, Dahua, Reolink, Axis, Amcrest, TP-Link VIGI, and others. Compatibility must still be verified for each specific model.
Analog cameras cannot usually connect directly as IP cameras. Some analog installations may be usable through compatible DVRs or video encoders that expose supported network streams.
RTSP is commonly used to access live camera video streams. ONVIF is a standard interface that can help discover and interact with supported network camera devices. Actual compatibility depends on the capabilities of each product.
The supported camera count depends on hardware specifications, resolution, frame rates, object-detection requirements, and recording workload. Our team recommends suitable hardware based on the proposed installation.
Existing footage stored on another DVR or NVR does not automatically transfer to Nabik. Camera settings, network configuration, and recording arrangements may need adjustment during setup.
Physical camera installation is not part of Nabik's standard service. Our primary offering covers the AI Box, software configuration, compatible camera connection, and agreed technical assistance.
Submit your camera brand, model, quantity, and existing DVR/NVR details using the compatibility assessment form. Our team can advise on the next steps.
Not necessarily. If your current cameras are compatible and provide suitable video quality, you may be able to keep them and add Nabik through dedicated AI hardware.
Many Hikvision and Dahua IP cameras provide suitable RTSP streams, but support depends on the specific model and configuration. Our team can help assess your equipment.
Some Wi-Fi cameras work when they provide compatible streams and stable network connectivity. Cameras limited to proprietary cloud applications may be unsupported.
Not always. Nabik may operate alongside existing video-recording equipment. Whether that equipment can be removed depends on the cameras, recording requirements, and complete system design.
H.264 generally provides broad compatibility. H.265 can also work in supported configurations, but playback, streaming, and hardware requirements may vary.
No. Preliminary assessments are based on available model information and technical details. Final compatibility and performance may require access to the equipment and testing of actual video streams.
Yes, when compatible video streams are connected to supported Nabik hardware with the appropriate AI detection models and configuration.
