How Siden Edge Works

Real-time video intelligence. Delivered at the edge.

Siden Edge turns ordinary surveillance systems into powerful, AI-driven sensors by bringing compute, storage, and intelligence to the very edge of your network. No cloud lag. No unnecessary backhaul. Just fast, secure, scalable performance exactly where you need it.


1. Ingest

We connect directly to your existing cameras and sensors.
Siden Edge integrates seamlessly with your current video surveillance infrastructure; no rip-and-replace required. Whether you’re running IP cameras or NVR systems, we ingest the live video feed and prepare it for local analysis.

  • Supports ONVIF and RTSP-compatible streams
  • Compatible with most enterprise-grade cameras
  • Lightweight edge nodes installed onsite

2. Cache & Serve AI Models at the Edge

Siden Edge locally caches computer vision models tailored to your environment.
Instead of sending footage to the cloud for inference, we bring the intelligence onsite by caching machine learning models for real-time object detection, behavior analysis, and anomaly detection.

  • Models are updated dynamically via our orchestration engine
  • Supports custom or pre-trained models (YOLO, SSD, etc.)
  • Real-time execution with low-latency GPU/accelerator support

3. Run Local Inference in Real Time

Footage is analyzed locally for immediate insights.
Video feeds are processed live, directly at the edge node, to detect people, objects, motion, and events of interest.

  • Get alerts and analytics within milliseconds
  • Event-based clips stored locally and optionally uploaded
  • Minimize bandwidth by avoiding full cloud upload of raw video

4. Prioritize Privacy and Security

Sensitive data stays local. You stay in control.
Siden Edge is built with data sovereignty in mind. All video analysis occurs on-premise. Only events or metadata are optionally pushed upstream, keeping raw footage secure.

  • GDPR- and CCPA-friendly by design
  • All footage and models remain behind your firewall
  • Role-based access and audit controls built-in

5. Integrate, Visualize, and Act

Insights are streamed to your dashboard, VMS, or third-party systems.
Siden Edge integrates with your existing tools or dashboards. Get real-time alerts, heatmaps, people counts, or security violations that are all accessible through our API or front-end platform.

  • API-first architecture for flexible integration
  • Compatible with SIEMs, analytics dashboards, VMS platforms
  • Visualization tools included for at-a-glance intelligence

6. Orchestrate at Scale

One platform to manage all your edge nodes, everywhere.
Whether you’re deploying across 5 retail locations or 5,000 smart city intersections, our control plane makes it easy to deploy, update, and scale.

  • Central model distribution and versioning
  • Policy-based orchestration
  • Health monitoring and over-the-air updates

Example Workflow: Airport Gate Monitoring

  1. Camera captures live video of a gate boarding area
  2. Siden Edge Node caches person-counting + threat-detection models
  3. Inference runs locally, detecting crowd congestion and unattended objects
  4. Alert is sent to airport operations for immediate response
  5. Clip and Metadata optionally pushed to cloud or VMS for review
