A software gateway and a cloud — that's it.
Most LPR + VMS vendors require their hardware. Corvid is software that runs on yours. The gateway picks up every IP camera on the LAN and bridges them to the Corvid cloud, where LPR, VMS, and parking all share one data store.
Three pieces. One of them software.
Cameras feed a software gateway. The gateway bridges to the Corvid cloud. Operators access the same data through web, mobile, and the integrator portal.
Use the IP cameras you already have, or buy Corvid cameras. Anything ONVIF works out of the box.
Runs on whatever you've got. It picks up every camera on the LAN and bridges them to the cloud.
VMS, LPR, and parking share one data store. Operators access via web, mobile, or the integrator portal.
Why this architecture works
Axis, Vivotek, Hanwha, Hikvision, Dahua, and most ONVIF-compliant cameras work out of the box. Plus our own Corvid cameras if you want them.
Runs on a PC, NUC, Raspberry Pi, LTE modem, or one of your cameras. No proprietary appliance, no install truck-roll.
Officers, dispatchers, and admins use the same login across LPR, VMS, and parking — with role-based scoping per site, camera group, and time-of-day.
A plate read links to its video clip. A camera health alert hits the same dashboard as an LPR hot list hit. No bridges, no exports.
No on-prem servers. Edge-recording cameras push events + clips to the cloud; configuration is managed centrally.
Every login, share, configuration change, and data export is logged. Defensible for compliance and FOIA reviews.
REST API + webhooks for the systems you already run — gate-arm controllers, parking kiosks, BI tools, ticketing systems.
Sold through certified security integrators. Your local partner installs, configures, and supports — Corvid powers it underneath.
Less moving parts is the feature.
