Ayonix VMS Plugin
More Intelligence. Greater Value. No Workflow Change.
Add Ayonix analytics to the video infrastructure your operators already use. Turn live and recorded video into searchable AI metadata, operational events and actionable alerts.
Supported platforms
Ayonix is designed to sit beside your video platform rather than replace it. Select a platform to see how the integration is shaped.
Compatibility validation available. Tell us your VMS and version and Ayonix will confirm what the integration supports for your installation.
Core analytics
Each capability is configured per camera and surfaces into the VMS as metadata, an event or both.
Vehicle counting
Counts by class and direction, zone activity and traffic flow — with an optional ANPR workflow where reading a plate is lawful and useful.
People counting
In and out counts, live occupancy, dwell, queue and zone activity, with thresholds that raise an event before a limit is passed.
Face recognition
A watchlist or allowlist event carries the camera, the time and a snapshot, and links straight to the recorded video for a person to confirm.
Gender / age analysis
Age-band and gender-presentation estimates, aggregated over time for planning. Estimates about a crowd, not facts about a person.
Face surveillance
A face event on one camera becomes a thread an investigator can follow across the estate, filtered by camera, site and time.
Operator workflow
The plugin's job is to fit the sequence an operator already follows, not to add a second console.
Objects found and tracked in the live stream.
Class, attributes and rule context resolved.
An event or alarm raised in the VMS workflow.
Snapshot, camera and time on the event card.
Metadata filtered across cameras and periods.
Evidence, CSV or report out of the system.
Rules and webhooks drive the next action.
Plugin capabilities
Which of these are exposed depends on the VMS and the integration surface it offers, and is confirmed for your installation.
Per-platform integration
The same analytics layer, shaped to the integration surface each vendor publishes.
These describe integration concepts. They are not a statement of certification, marketplace listing or compatibility with any specific vendor release — confirm your VMS and version with Ayonix.
Search & investigation
Metadata turns recorded video from a timeline you scrub into a set you can filter.
| Time | Camera | Event | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10:24:36 | Cam 01 · Perimeter | Person · zone entry | Go to playback |
| 10:21:45 | Cam 03 · Gate | Vehicle · line crossing | Go to playback |
| 10:18:54 | Cam 05 · Loading | Person · dwell threshold | Go to playback |
Event automation
A rule is a sentence: when this happens, and this is true, do these things.
Actions connect to the workflows your VMS and external systems actually expose. Where a workflow is not available on a platform, it is scoped as an integration option rather than assumed.
Integration architecture
Deployment
Chosen on latency, bandwidth and where your policy allows video to go.
Analytics on a server inside your own environment, alongside the recording infrastructure.
Best for enterprise and centralized deploymentsInference beside the cameras, for low latency and reduced bandwidth, with video staying local.
Best for low-latency local processingEdge analytics at each site with central event, search and reporting architecture where supported.
Best for estates and networksFor VMS administrators
An analytics plugin that fails quietly is worse than none, because the operator stops looking. These are the signals an administrator should expect to see.
Which of these signals are exposed, and where, depends on the specific VMS integration.
Compatibility
Rather than publish a matrix that goes stale on somebody else's release schedule, Ayonix checks your installation. These are the details that decide the answer.
Where it runs
Buyer questions
Software that adds AI analysis to a video management system without replacing it. The VMS keeps doing recording, storage and operator workflow; the plugin adds detection, metadata and events inside that existing workflow.
The analytics engine reads the video the VMS already handles, produces metadata and events, and returns them through the integration surface the VMS publishes — so they appear as overlays, events, alarms and searchable metadata rather than in a second application.
Often yes. Suitable RTSP or ONVIF streams can be used. Camera placement, angle, resolution, lighting and scene density determine what a given view supports, so representative footage is reviewed before a deployment is specified.
Where the VMS exposes metadata search, yes — recorded video can be filtered by object class, event type, camera, zone, direction and time instead of scrubbed by hand. The available filters depend on the platform.
Yes. Analytics events can be raised into the platform's event and alarm workflow, so they reach operators through the same panel, acknowledgement and escalation path as any other alarm.
Yes. People counting covers in/out, occupancy, dwell, queue and zone activity. Vehicle counting covers counts by configured class, direction, zones and traffic flow, with ANPR as a separate module.
Configured identity-match events can be surfaced with camera, time and a snapshot, linked to recorded video for a person to confirm. This should be deployed only where the use case, policy and law support it.
Plate events can be raised into the VMS event workflow and used for allowlist, blocklist and gate workflows. Plate formats vary by country and region, so supported formats are confirmed against footage from your site.
Both. Analytics can run on a server inside your own environment, or on AIBOX beside the cameras for lower latency and less bandwidth. Distributed deployments combine edge analytics with central search and reporting.
Tell Ayonix your VMS and version, camera count, codec and resolution, the analytics you need, the deployment model and any external systems. Ayonix confirms what the integration supports for that installation rather than publishing a matrix that ages on the vendor's release schedule.
Keep your VMS
Tell us your VMS, camera count and analytics requirement. Ayonix can help define the integration architecture and evaluation path.
Ayonix provides face recognition plugins for Milestone, Genetec and Network Optix, adding Ayonix Face Recognition to an existing video management system. See VMS integration for the wider approach across cameras and video analytics, so recognition runs where the video already is.
