Two ways to run it

A UNV recorder, or the UNV Guard platform

Most Uniview sites run on a network video recorder that does the AI work itself. Larger sites that also want doors, attendance and reporting in one place step up to UNV Guard. We help you choose on camera count, the other systems involved and how the site is managed.

UNV recorders

Cameras record to a UNV NVR, and the NVR runs the search and intrusion analytics itself. EZStation 3.0 on a Windows or Mac PC brings several recorders onto one screen, and the UniEase app puts live view, playback and alarms on a phone.

  • IQ, IM and IX smart NVRs, the IX series with over 20 analytics
  • EZStation 3.0 for live view, playback, e-maps and video walls
  • UniEase with one-tap arming, playback and camera sharing
  • Pro series with RAID, 1+1 failover and up to 56 drives

Central platform

UNV Guard

A management platform that puts video, access control, attendance and intercom in one interface, with modules added as the site needs them. It runs on a modest PC, from an Intel Core i3-8100 up, or on a UNV Guard all-in-one server.

  • Video, access control, attendance and intercom modules
  • E-maps, alarm handling, people counting and data reports
  • Third-party cameras over ONVIF, plus an open API
  • All-in-one Guard server with 16 drive bays
AI and imaging

What the cameras and recorders actually do

Uniview puts most of its intelligence in the NVR and the camera rather than in extra servers. These are the features we set up most often.

SeekFree and AcuSearch

SeekFree NVRs search recorded video from a typed description, such as a person pushing a pram, and return matches from every camera in seconds. AcuSearch does the same from a box drawn around someone on screen, with up to eight targets at once.

Smart Intrusion Prevention

Line-crossing and intrusion rules that sort people from vehicles and ignore leaves, lights and animals. Playback can then be filtered by camera, time and target type, so finding the one real event takes minutes.

Tri-Guard deterrence

Tri-Guard cameras pair intrusion detection with colour imaging at night and a warning on the spot. When someone enters a protected area, Tri-Guard 2.0 models flash red and blue lights and sound a 3 W speaker, and the built-in mic lets you speak to them.

Thermal and fire detection

Dual-spectrum bullets pair a thermal sensor with a normal lens. They run intrusion rules on both channels day and night, detect smoke and flame, and carry red and blue lights with a voice warning.

Plates and parking

Plate recognition cameras read vehicles at entries and exits. Parking space detection cameras, including 12 MP fisheye models, feed guidance and availability screens that point drivers to free bays.

MultiView and OmniView

MultiView cameras carry several lenses on one IP address, with a detail lens that zooms in and follows a target while the wide view keeps watching. OmniView models cover up to 180°, and fisheye models a full 360°.

Teracom and UNV / Uniview

What Teracom does on a Uniview job

  1. Design

    Camera positions, lenses and recorders planned from the site drawings, with storage and bandwidth worked out before anything is ordered.

  2. Install and commission

    Cameras mounted, cabled and focused, with intrusion lines, deterrence and search set up so alerts mean something from the first day.

  3. Connect to monitoring

    Intrusion and deterrence events can come through to our monitoring centre for after-hours response.

  4. Look after it

    Firmware, security updates and health checks handled on a maintenance plan, so the system stays current and supported.

Why Teracom works with UNV / Uniview

AIoT security engineered for real deployments.

ABCI Technology Core

Uniview builds its platform around four converging technologies -- Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, Cloud Computing and IoT -- giving every camera and NVR a shared AI backbone rather than bolted-on analytics.

R&D-Led Engineering

More than 10% of annual revenue goes back into R&D, with over half of Uniview's global workforce sitting in R&D roles across 6 R&D centers and 2 R&D institutes.

Deep Patent Portfolio

Uniview has filed more than 5,200 patents, with over 80% classified as invention patents -- the highest-value patent category, reflecting real engineering investment rather than cosmetic design tweaks.

Proven Across Verticals

540+ large industrial park deployments, 300+ commercial landmark buildings, 110+ airport installations and 900+ transportation sites -- deployment depth, not just lab specs.

Global Supply Backbone

Two manufacturing bases and five warehouses spanning Europe, the Americas, the Middle East and Asia keep stock moving to over 20,000 partners across 200+ countries and regions.

Uniview (UNV) is a pioneer and one of the largest manufacturers in IP video surveillance, having introduced IP video surveillance to the Chinese market before growing into a global player -- by 2018 it held the fourth-largest global market share in video surveillance, and has filed for more than 600 patents related to CCTV technology.

The UNV product line covers the full surveillance chain -- IP cameras, NVRs, encoders, decoders, storage, and client software and apps -- deployed across retail, commercial, industrial, education and city surveillance projects. We supply UNV's camera and NVR range, including PTZ, turret and dome cameras with smart IR ranges up to 250 metres and edge storage options, as a cost-effective option within our CCTV offering.
