VMS integrations
Connect CHEQIT to the video systems you already use.
Bring camera inventory, health checks and recorded evidence into one workflow alongside your existing VMS or direct camera connections.
Coverage status
What's live, what's in progress, what's planned.
We prioritise integrations from real customer deployments, camera counts, and operational need. If your VMS is not listed, tell us what you run and how it is deployed.

Live
Available now
Shinobi CE camera health monitoring and direct ONVIF/RTSP camera monitoring.
The current Linux release connects to Shinobi CE and direct ONVIF/RTSP cameras, bringing camera status, images and health evidence into one operator workflow.
Shinobi CE camera health monitoring
Live
Keep inventory currentSynchronise Shinobi monitors automatically while preserving inventory through temporary connection failures.
Keep media access protectedUse Shinobi snapshots and live video through CHEQIT without exposing the VMS API key or upstream media URL in the browser.
Review recorded evidenceFind video around an incident and export seekable evidence clips.
Monitor native health signalsTrack monitor state, API availability, recording continuity and configured media profiles.
Add optional ONVIF camera signals and site telemetry for a wider health view.

What CHEQIT ingests
The information CHEQIT needs from each video source.
CHEQIT turns camera and VMS data into alerts, evidence and reports that help your team investigate and prioritise maintenance.
Checks follow each camera and connector's capabilities; integration status is listed above.
Inventory & topology
Camera context
Sites & groupsVMS groups, tenants and locations.
CamerasCamera names, identifiers, tags and locations.
StreamsSnapshots and streams, with reported codec, resolution and frame-rate metadata.
Liveness & events
Health signals
Online stateWhether the camera or VMS monitor is reachable after confirmed retries.
Recording continuityRecording-index gaps. Full N-day indexed retention checks are in private Avigilon validation.
Storage telemetryVMS storage events and optional host-volume telemetry.
Device eventsTamper, day/night transitions and device health events from ONVIF or the VMS.
Detection path
Same experience
Snapshot CVDefault scalable path: blur, darkness, occlusion, tilt, scene change, colour cast.
Stream samplingSampled images reveal freeze and repetition; source metadata tracks frame rate, codec, bitrate and timestamps.
Network probesLightweight TCP checks measure connection timing, variation and failed connections. Video packet-loss alerts use VMS events.
Optional ML enrichmentAdditional classifiers for rain, snow and lens smear.
For technical teams
How integrations are added without changing the monitoring workflow.
Each integration handles the source-specific details: credentials, inventory, snapshots, streams, liveness, events, and recording metadata. CHEQIT's alerting, evidence handling, policies, and operator workflow stay shared across sources.

What an integration usually handles
Connect and testValidate credentials, scope, and camera access before monitoring starts.
Synchronise inventoryBring cameras, groups, streams and source metadata into CHEQIT.
Collect health signalsCombine source status, events and recording information for a clear health view.
Provide evidence accessResolve snapshots, streams, and archive references without moving video to ORTUS cloud services.
Respect source limitsUse bounded polling, sampling, and retry behaviour appropriate for each VMS or camera estate.
Keep detection consistentPresent source-specific findings through the same alert, evidence and investigation workflow.
