NABIK SMART SURVEILLANCE
Your Cameras. Your Recordings. Your Control.
Keep supported CCTV footage on dedicated local hardware with flexible recording modes, configurable retention, and convenient event review.
MORE CONTROL OVER YOUR FOOTAGE
Your Security Footage Deserves a Place You Control.
Footage can contain sensitive information about your home, visitors, employees, and business. A local configuration stores supported video on dedicated hardware at your property or another configured local location, reducing dependence on external cloud storage for ordinary recording.
Configurable Recording
Choose supported continuous, motion-based, or event-related recording configurations.
Flexible Retention
Configure how long different recordings remain available, within storage capacity.
Preserve Important Clips
Export selected footage separately before ordinary retention removes the original.
A SIMPLE RECORDING WORKFLOW
From Your Cameras to Your Local Storage.
Compatible camera streams and dedicated hardware manage the core recording process without requiring cloud storage.
LOCAL NETWORK · CONFIGURED CAMERA STREAMS
- STEP 01
Camera Captures Footage
Compatible IP cameras provide streams over your local network.
- STEP 02
Nabik Receives the Stream
The configured AI Box connects to the streams and handles the recording workflow.
- STEP 03
Recordings Are Stored Locally
Segments are saved to configured storage according to the selected rules.
- STEP 04
Review or Export
Authorized users review available footage and export important recordings.
Local recording requires working cameras, local network connectivity, powered equipment, writable storage, and correct configuration.
RECORDING THAT FITS YOUR REQUIREMENTS
Choose What to Record. Choose What to Keep.
Balance continuous coverage, event review, and available storage with a recording strategy suited to your property.
Continuous Recording
Keep a Continuous Video History
Record available camera footage continuously according to recording and retention settings.
BEST SUITED FORBuilding entrances · Reception · Critical access points
Review retained activity even when no AI object was detected.
Motion-Based Recording
Retain Footage When Movement Occurs
Configure retention around video segments containing detected motion.
BEST SUITED FORLower-activity views · Selected residential areas
May reduce storage needs compared with retaining every segment, depending on scene activity.
AI Event-Based Retention
Keep Footage Related to Important Events
Configure retention for supported alerts and detections, including different periods where appropriate.
BEST SUITED FORApartment gates · Parking access · Retail · Loading zones
Focus longer-term retention on selected detected activity.
Motion and AI event-based policies may not retain every second. Undetected events and segments outside retention conditions may not be available later. Segment patterns above are illustrative.
CONTROL YOUR STORAGE
Keep the Footage You Need. Manage the Rest.
Configure retention for continuous, motion, and relevant event footage. Older recordings can be removed according to policy to help manage available capacity.
Set Recording Retention
Choose periods based on available storage and operational requirements.
Prioritize Relevant Events
Where configured, retain selected event-related recordings longer than general footage.
Export Important Clips
Preserve important recordings separately before normal retention removes them.
Different footage. Different policies.

Policy examples show relative periods, not a capacity calculation or a guarantee for any AI Box.
Actual history depends on camera bitrate, storage capacity, settings, and equipment operation. Footage may be deleted when retention expires or storage becomes insufficient.
UNDERSTAND YOUR STORAGE OPTIONS
Local Recording or Cloud Storage? Know Where Your Footage Goes.
Cloud services can simplify remote access and provide off-site storage. Local recording keeps ordinary footage on your configured hardware. Different needs may call for different storage strategies.

Many DVR/NVR systems already support local recording. Nabik combines it with AI detection, smart event review, configurable rules, and compatible existing IP cameras.
BUILT AROUND YOUR LOCAL NETWORK
Your Internet Goes Offline. Local Recording Can Continue.
With configured local streams, working network equipment, and available storage, supported local recording can continue during an internet outage. Remote access, Telegram notifications, and some external integrations may stop until connectivity returns.

IMPORTANT EVENTS DESERVE EXTRA CARE
Save the Recordings That Matter Beyond Normal Retention.
Supported export tools preserve selected recordings separately for later review before ordinary recording history expires.
Export Selected Footage
Choose a supported event or an available recording time range to export.
Review and Download
Access exported clips using supported recording-management tools.
Store Important Copies Safely
Keep authorized copies on suitable independent backup storage for long-term preservation.

This illustrates exporting an available recording range. No real footage is connected or exported. Review and download genuine exports through your configured Nabik system.
Separately saved exports are not automatically removed by ordinary recording-retention rules, but they consume storage and do not replace independent backups.

YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Private Local Recording.
Local CCTV recording means video is stored on recording hardware or another configured storage device instead of relying entirely on a remote cloud-storage service.
Standard local recording does not require continuously uploading all footage to cloud storage. However, optional integrations or external services may transmit selected data when enabled.
Yes. Supported recording policies can retain footage based on motion and configured alerts or detections. Such policies may omit footage that does not meet their conditions.
Supported local recording can continue without internet as long as the cameras, AI Box, storage, local network, and power remain operational. Internet-dependent services may become unavailable.
The system manages recordings according to the configured retention policy and storage conditions. Older footage may be removed, and storage or hardware problems can interrupt recording. Customers should not assume footage will be preserved indefinitely.
Local recording provides control over where footage is stored, but security depends on account permissions, networking, physical protection, software maintenance, and backup arrangements. Neither local nor cloud storage is automatically secure in every situation.
In a standard local configuration, Nabik stores recordings on the storage configured for its AI Box. The exact storage location and capacity depend on the installation.
Yes. Continuous recording can be enabled with suitable storage and camera configuration. The available recording duration depends on storage capacity and retention settings.
There is no universal recording duration. Retention depends on the selected hardware, available storage, camera bitrate, recording mode, and configured retention policy.
Yes. When export functionality is enabled and the footage is still available, users can create exports of supported events or recording ranges.
Footage removed under retention settings may not be recoverable through normal recording tools. Important recordings should be exported and backed up before deletion.
Depending on your cameras, recording requirements, and system design, Nabik may provide recording functions alongside or instead of some existing recording equipment. A compatibility assessment is needed before deciding whether existing hardware can be removed.
PLAN YOUR STORAGE
Things to Know Before Choosing Local CCTV Recording
Storage Capacity
Duration depends on camera count, bitrate, retention, and available storage.
Power and Hardware
Cameras, AI Box, network, and storage must operate. Backup power may reduce interruptions.
No Automatic Off-Site Backup
Separate backups are needed against theft, fire, drive failure, or accidental deletion.
Subscription and Service Scope
Hardware, subscriptions, setup, and support follow the selected plan and service agreement. Local recording does not eliminate every fee.
