Most cloud video platforms follow the same playbook: their cameras, their cloud, their brand, per-camera subscriptions forever. Nevtech is built on the opposite bet — that the system should belong to the people running it. If you're comparing platforms, compare the approaches first.
Your footage sits in the vendor's infrastructure, beside every other customer's, under their keys and their compliance posture. Leaving means losing the archive — the storage is the lock-in.
The platform deploys on your own Google Cloud project. Your recordings, your encryption keys, your IAM, your region, your retention rules. The footage is yours in the only sense that matters: legally and physically.
The "modern" platform works only with the vendor's own hardware — so modernizing means throwing away a working fleet and paying to replace it with cameras that only ever speak to one company.
The fleet you have is the fleet it runs on — one camera or a campus. Connect directly, through a pocket-size site gateway, or with the on-camera Axis app and no site hardware at all. Replace cameras when they die, not when a vendor says so.
Every camera is a recurring line item, priced per device per year. The bill scales with your success and never goes down; the vendor's incentive is your camera count, not your outcome.
One signed license with your camera capacity and retention window. Grow it when you grow. And because the platform runs on your cloud, the infrastructure bill is yours at cost — not marked up per camera.
Every VMS shows a green bar. The question that decides lawsuits is what the green bar means the night the internet went down.
The timeline paints coverage it can't verify. You discover the recording gap the day you need the footage — in front of the people who needed it most.
Recorded, degraded, gap, and unknown are distinct states on every camera's timeline, tracked per second. When a site loses its uplink, edge recording keeps writing locally and backfills the archive on reconnect — and the timeline shows exactly what happened, either way. A green bar you can put in front of a judge.
The integrator does the selling, the installing, and the servicing — and the vendor's logo takes the relationship. Next renewal, the customer knows the platform's name better than yours.
Your logo, your colors, your domain, your pricing — on the sign-in page and everything behind it. Your customers never see the word "Nevtech." See the white-label program.
Body cameras arrive with their own portal, their own login, their own retention policy — and an end-of-shift dock before anyone can see the footage. Two systems of record for one incident, joined by a spreadsheet.
Body-worn and mobile cameras sit in the same live wall, timeline and retention as your fixed fleet — footage is in the cloud while the incident is still happening. Everyone sees every unit's live position on the map, an operator can talk through the wearer's speaker, and an admin can reach every unit within a mile with one held button.

Yes. Nevtech VMS connects the ONVIF and RTSP cameras you already own to the cloud — through a small site gateway, or with no extra hardware at all on Axis cameras, which run our on-camera app. Live view, cloud recording, playback, and evidence tooling work identically across camera brands, so moving to cloud video is a software decision, not a rip-and-replace project.
Yes. Nevtech VMS deploys inside your own Google Cloud project, so recordings land in storage buckets you own, under your billing account and your access controls. The platform is licensed per camera — published rates from $4 down to $1.75 per month at scale — and the same console, apps, and evidence features run identically in hosted and customer-owned deployments.
Yes. In a customer-owned deployment, Nevtech VMS runs inside your Google Cloud project and recordings are written to storage buckets you own — your billing, your retention policy, your access control, your data-residency choices. Nevtech licenses the software; the footage never has to live in a vendor’s account.
A working demo beats a comparison chart. We'll show live view, playback, the coverage timeline, LPR, and gunshot detection — on real cameras.
