Security

Encryption at rest

256-bit AES encryption applied to all video footage on the adapter's on-board SSD and in the cloud — the same standard used in online banking and government systems

Encryption in transit

TLS 1.2+ (HTTPS) for all data flowing between cameras, the Cloud Adapter, and the cloud — preventing interception or eavesdropping

Camera / recorder password

Encrypted at all times and never transmitted outside your local network

Non-discoverable

UPnP/NAT disabled by default — no inbound firewall ports required for remote viewing

Cloud backbone

Microsoft Azure — data centres aligned to SOC 2 and ISO 27001 standards, with regional redundancy

Compliance posture

DPDP Act 2023 compliant (data processed on regional Azure servers) · GDPR aligned · SOC 2 and ISO 27001 aligned data handling practices · Role-based access controls across all dashboard users

Ports used

Outbound HTTPS (443) only — no inbound port forwarding required. Detailed firewall configuration is provided in our deployment documentation.

Protocols

Live transmission

RTSP (Real-Time Streaming Protocol) from cameras to the adapter

Live viewing — mobile

WebRTC — ultra-low latency, approximately 0.5 seconds glass-to-glass

Live viewing — web

WebRTC — ultra-low latency, approximately 0.5 seconds glass-to-glass

Motion event transmission

MP4 files transmitted via HTTPS to cloud storage

Motion event viewing

WebRTC for instant playback of motion-triggered clips

Platform Features

Alerts

Push notifications (mobile app), email alerts, and dashboard notifications — fully configurable per camera, zone, and event type

Alert triggers

Motion detection · external alarm trigger input · camera tamper detection · scheduled patrol miss

Alert scheduling

Set time windows when alerts are active or muted — e.g. business hours only, after-hours only, or custom shift patterns

Camera health checks

Automatic monitoring of camera connectivity, frame rate, and feed quality — with instant alerts on disconnection or degradation

Camera scheduling

Configure individual cameras to record only during specific hours or days — reducing storage costs and false alerts

Detection zones

Define custom motion-detection zones on each camera feed — ignore tree movement, focus on entry points, or monitor specific aisles

Multi-user permissions

Role-based access for owners, managers, and operators — control who can view, download, configure, and receive alerts on a per-camera basis

PTZ controls

Pan, tilt, and zoom controls for compatible PTZ cameras — operate live from web or mobile, with preset positions and patrol patterns

Remote installation

Configure new cameras and adapter settings from the Tentovision web or mobile app — no on-site visit required

Sensitivity adjustment

Fine-tune motion-detection sensitivity per camera and zone — reduce false positives without missing genuine events

Still images

A still image is automatically captured for each motion event — ideal for quick visual scanning of incident timelines

Talk-down (two-way audio)

Live two-way audio supported on compatible Hikvision and Dahua cameras — speak directly through the camera from the app

Trigger types

Software motion detection · camera input signal · or both combined for higher accuracy and reduced false positives
