Video Monitoring — FAQs
What cameras are compatible with WatchWard video monitoring?
WatchWard is compatible with hundreds of IP camera models from all major manufacturers including Ring, Nest, Arlo, Axis, Hikvision, and Dahua. No proprietary hardware is required — it works with your existing infrastructure.
How does AI video monitoring differ from standard CCTV?
Standard CCTV records footage passively for human review. WatchWard's AI video monitoring actively analyzes every frame in real time, automatically detecting, classifying, and logging events — objects, people, license plates, crowd density — without anyone watching a screen.
Does WatchWard support 4K cameras?
Yes. WatchWard supports full 4K and HDR video streams with AI analytics running at native resolution. Up to 256 simultaneous streams can be processed with no degradation in detection performance.
Can the system perform facial recognition?
WatchWard includes facial recognition capabilities with built-in privacy controls. You can enroll known individuals (employees, family members) and receive alerts when unknown faces are detected in designated sensitive areas.
Is video stored in the cloud or locally?
WatchWard supports both local edge storage and encrypted cloud storage. You can configure retention policies, cloud backup schedules, and access permissions per camera and per user.
