Upgrade, Don’t Replace: How to Turn Your “Dumb” CCTV into a Smart Safety System

You have millions invested in your current CCTV network. Replacing it to get AI features is a waste of capital.

Many facility managers feel trapped. They have hundreds of legacy IP cameras that record video but don’t understand it. They want features like PPE detection or intrusion alerts, but they can’t afford a full “rip-and-replace” upgrade.

The solution isn’t new cameras. It’s a new brain.

The “Brain Transplant” for Your NVR

The ARSA AI Box is a hardware-agnostic edge computing device that connects to your existing network. It pulls RTSP streams from your current cameras, whether they are Hikvision, Dahua, or Axis, and processes them through our advanced AI engine.

  • Before ARSA: Your camera passively records a theft. You watch it happen a week later.
  • After ARSA: The same camera detects the intruder instantly and alerts security while it’s happening.

Sanitizing the Supply Chain

Security concerns regarding certain camera manufacturers are rising in 2026. Many enterprises are hesitant to use Chinese-manufactured cameras due to cybersecurity fears, yet replacing them is too costly. The AI Box for CCTV acts as a secure gateway. You can isolate your legacy cameras on a local VLAN (no internet access) and let the ARSA AI Box handle the external communication. This “sanitizes” your network, giving you the utility of your hardware without the cybersecurity risk.

Immediate ROI, Zero Downtime

Installation takes minutes, not weeks. There is no re-cabling, no drilling, and no downtime. We simply plug the AI Box into your switch, configure the streams, and your “dumb” cameras become smart sensors immediately.

Don’t scrap your infrastructure. Upgrade it. Turn your passive recording system into an active safety guardian.
