VMS integrations
Connect CHEQIT to the video systems you already use.
CHEQIT works alongside supported VMS platforms and direct camera sources. It brings camera inventory, health signals, snapshots, stream checks, and recording context into one monitoring experience, so security and IT teams can manage camera reliability without changing recorders or replacing cameras.
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.

What CHEQIT ingests
The information CHEQIT needs from each video source.
Different video systems expose information in different ways. CHEQIT translates the available source data into a consistent operating view for alerts, evidence, reporting, and remediation.
Inventory & topology
Source dependent
Sites & groupsExisting VMS groups, tenants, or locations where the source provides them.
CamerasCamera names, identifiers, tags, mappings, and placement data where available.
StreamsSnapshot and stream access, plus codec, resolution, and frame-rate metadata where exposed.
Liveness & events
Health signals
Online stateWhether the camera or VMS monitor is reachable after confirmed retries.
Recording continuityRecording gaps and retention drift where archive or index data is available.
Storage telemetryRecorder or host storage status when the VMS exposes it.
Device eventsTamper, day/night transitions, and hygiene signals where ONVIF or the VMS provides them.
Detection path
Same experience
Snapshot CVDefault scalable path: blur, darkness, occlusion, tilt, scene change, colour cast.
Stream samplingSelective: freeze, FPS drift, codec change, bitrate drift, timestamp drift.
Network probesLatency, jitter, packet loss with bounded budgets.
Optional ML enrichmentHard-case classifiers (rain/snow, lens smear) when configured.
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 available metadata into CHEQIT.
Collect health signalsUse the source's own status, event, and recording information where possible.
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 consistentFeed CHEQIT's shared degradation checks so operators see the same alert types across sources.
