Welcome to Anava
Turn any Axis camera into an AI-powered security sensor.
Anava is an enterprise camera security platform that transforms video feeds into actionable intelligence. Using Google Gemini AI, Anava analyzes camera events in real-time, answers security questions, and takes automated actions - all without requiring on-premise servers or specialized hardware.
What Makes Anava Different
| Traditional CCTV | Anava |
|---|---|
| Watch hours of footage | AI answers "What happened?" |
| Fixed motion zones | Context-aware scene understanding |
| Alert fatigue | Only alerts when it matters |
| Expensive NVRs | Serverless cloud processing |
| Manual review | Semantic search across all events |
The Detection Concept
Detections are the core building block of Anava. A Detection defines:
- Trigger - What event starts analysis (motion, object, schedule, digital input)
- Analysis - What questions to ask the AI (count people, detect threats, identify activities)
- Schedule - When to run (always, after-hours, business hours, custom)
- Actions - What happens on detection (alerts, voice announcements, webhooks)
Camera Event --> AI Analysis --> Structured Results --> Automated Actions
Create Detections using natural language: "Alert me when someone enters the loading dock after 6pm" and Anava's AI generates the configuration.
