Widely compatible by design

If your camera speaks ONVIF or RTSP, it works. Here are the brands we see most often.

Standards we speak fluently

EarlyVigil is built on open, interoperable protocols, no proprietary lock-in.

StandardWhat it meansEarlyVigil support
ONVIF Profile S Streaming & basic camera control for IP cameras Yes, auto-discovered
ONVIF Profile G Recording & motion events from the camera Yes
ONVIF Profile T Modern profiles: H.265, 4K, metadata Yes
RTSP Real-time streaming protocol for any IP camera Yes
H.264 / H.265 Video compression standards Yes, both
Analog (BNC / coax) Legacy analog cameras via encoder Yes, via edge device

One edge device, many ways to connect

Whatever network your cameras are on, the edge device brings them into the cloud.

PoE

PoE cameras plug straight into the edge device's ports, no separate power runs.

IEEE 802.3af/at

Wi-Fi cameras

On the same LAN, wireless cameras are discovered and connected the same way as wired ones.

2.4 / 5 GHz

4G / LTE

Sites without broadband work fine. The edge device syncs over 4G with adaptive bandwidth.

Adaptive sync

Analog + encoder

Legacy BNC cameras connect through the edge device's encoder inputs and join the same dashboard.

Compatibility checklist

A quick pre-flight before you move your cameras to EarlyVigil.

Cameras

  • IP cameras support ONVIF Profile S or RTSP
  • Resolution up to 4K at H.264 / H.265
  • Analog cameras can use BNC-to-IP encoding

Network

  • Cameras reachable on the same LAN as the edge device
  • Outbound HTTPS to the EarlyVigil cloud (no open ports needed)
  • Minimum 1–2 Mbps upload per stream for smooth cloud sync

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.
