FAQs

What types of cameras are compatible with SharpAI Aegis?

SharpAI Aegis is designed to work with a wide range of cameras, including popular brands like Ring and Blink, as well as standard RTSP/ONVIF IP cameras. It also supports personal devices such as iPhones, iPads, Android phones, webcams, and USB cameras.

Can I use SharpAI Aegis to search for specific events across all my cameras?

Yes, Aegis allows you to search across all connected cameras simultaneously using natural language queries. Instead of sifting through individual camera apps, you can ask questions like "Was anyone at the back door?" and receive timestamped answers and summaries from a unified timeline.
