Security & Privacy
Faces blurred on site. No video leaves it.
COM8 Vision reads your recorder with a read-only account, blurs faces on a box inside your network, and sends only structured events and blurred stills to the dashboard. No face recognition and no per-worker score.

These are product commitments, not settings. They are the same for every customer.
Faces blurred before anything leaves.
The head of every detected person is blurred on the edge box, in the live view and in every stored still. It is a strong default that follows the detector.
No face recognition, no per-worker score.
Accountability sits with zones, shifts, supervisors and subcontractors. Nobody is identified, and that is a product commitment.
Read-only on your recorder.
A read-only account reads the channel list and live sub-streams. Nothing is ever written back, and recording carries on as before.
No inbound connections.
The edge box only makes outbound connections. No port forwarding, no public IP and no firewall holes on your network.
How a frame travels, and where it stops
Video stays inside your network. The edge box turns it into events, and only those events and a blurred still per event travel to the dashboard.

Defence in depth, layer by layer
Each part of COM8 Vision does one job and holds only what it needs.
- 01
Recorder access
A read-only account on your Hikvision or Dahua recorder. The password is stored encrypted and is never sent to a browser.
- 02
Edge box
Runs detection, tracking, zone rules and face blur on site. It makes outbound connections only and keeps working through an outage, queueing up to 500 events.
- 03
Events and stills
Structured events with camera, zone, type, severity, duration and owner, plus one blurred still each. Health heartbeats are pruned after seven days.
- 04
Tenancy
Every request is scoped to one company and the sites a person is a member of. Requests for another company's data are refused.
- 05
Sessions
Short-lived sessions of 30 minutes that renew with a rotating refresh token, so a lost device does not stay signed in.
Access that follows your sites
Four roles
IT admin, site manager, supervisor and viewer, each with only what their job needs.
Scoped per site
Every membership can be limited to particular sites, so a site team sees its own site only.
Every action recorded
Acknowledge, assign, resolve and false-alarm marks are timestamped with who did them.
Secrets kept server-side
Recorder passwords are encrypted and never reach a browser.
Bring your IT team. We'll bring the architecture.
We walk your IT team through the read-only account, the edge box and exactly what leaves the site, and answer your security questionnaire before a pilot starts.
Frequently asked questions
No. Video stays on your recorder and the edge box. Only structured events and one blurred still per event are sent to the dashboard.
Create a read-only account on the recorder and give the edge box one switch port. No admin password, no port forwarding, no public IP and no inbound connections.
Blur follows the person detector, so a person the detector misses is not blurred. It is a strong default, and the dashboard never receives video.
Events, scores and blurred stills are stored in the COM8 Vision cloud. Hosting in the UAE is on the roadmap.
Yes. We run a session with your IT team, walk through the data flow and complete your questionnaire before any pilot starts.
