FAQ
Compatibility questions
Yes. The EarlyVigil edge devices include BNC encoder inputs, so legacy analog cameras are digitised and managed in the same dashboard as your IP cameras.
No. The edge device initiates an outbound encrypted connection to the EarlyVigil cloud. There are no inbound ports to forward and no VPN required, which is far safer than typical port-forwarded NVR setups.
Recording continues locally on the edge device without interruption. When connectivity returns, the device resumes syncing automatically with integrity checks, so nothing is lost.
Yes, the transition can be gradual. Many customers run EarlyVigil in parallel during migration, then retire the old NVR once cameras are onboarded.
