municipal camera system

Municipal camera system for cities and public works.

Gobi is a municipal camera analytics layer that runs on top of the cameras a city already owns. No rip-and-replace. No per-camera SaaS. Searchable AI motion history, license-plate recognition, and public-facing camera pages on one platform.

Takes 2–3 minutes · No credit card required

  • Works with existing RTSP cameras
  • Flat pricing — no per-camera fees
  • Setup typically under 1 hour

Used by: construction sites, municipalities, farms, and multi-site operations.

Built and running in production · No proprietary camera lock-in · Customer owns their data · No long-term contracts

What city teams use Gobi for

  • Public works documentation — paving, water, parks, signage
  • License-plate recognition at gates and depots
  • After-hours activity detection on city facilities
  • Public webcam pages for downtown, parks and tourism
  • Project timelapses for council and public communication

Built for existing infrastructure

Most cities have already invested in IP camera infrastructure. Gobi treats those cameras as inputs and adds the intelligence layer — searchable events, plates, dashboards, public pages — without forcing a vendor migration.

Privacy and retention controls

Per-camera retention policies, role-based access, and the ability to keep cameras private or expose specific snapshots publicly. See the privacy & security overview.

Common questions

The five things people ask first.

Will this work with my cameras?

If they expose RTSP on the local network — yes, almost always. Run the compatibility check.

Do I need IT to install it?

No. One small node, plugged into power and the network. Outbound-only — no port forwarding, no VPN, no static IPs.

Is it expensive?

Flat per node, not per camera. Most single-site deployments land between $49 and $199/month. See pricing.

What happens to my data?

You own it. Cameras stay private by default. Data lives in your tenant. Export anytime. Privacy & security overview.

How long does setup take?

A typical single-site deployment is under one hour from node power-on to live dashboard.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does Gobi work with my existing cameras?

Yes. If your cameras stream RTSP (most IP cameras and NVRs do), Gobi can usually pull them in without replacing hardware.

Is Gobi priced per camera?

No. Gobi uses flat per-node pricing. You can grow your camera footprint without growing the bill.

How fast do AI events appear?

AI motion events typically appear in the searchable log within 5–12 seconds of being captured.

Do I need port forwarding or special IT setup?

No. The Gobi node creates an outbound connection to the cloud. No inbound ports, no VPN, no static IPs required.

How long does setup take?

A typical single-site deployment is under one hour once the node has internet and the cameras are reachable on the local network.
