Camera Compatibility¶
BrainFrame supports IP cameras and USB cameras, and can load video files or images directly. This page focuses on IP cameras, or IP-connected cameras.
For developers, the onvif tools in Dev Tools are handy for discovering, scanning, and validating IP cameras on your network. You can then use REST API Apps to add the cameras to BrainFrame in a batch with a script.
In general, any IP camera that is compatible with RTSP is supported. Below are some of the IP cameras we tested as examples:
| Brand | Model | Talkdown.ai Validated Deterrence Features |
|---|---|---|
| Tyco Security Products | Illustra Pro 2MP Minidome indoor Camera | |
| Illustra Pro 2MP Minidome outdoor Camera | ||
| HIKVISION | IP turret dome camera DS-2CD2342WD-I | |

For Talkdown.ai Deterrence, choose cameras that provide the features you need: a speaker, lighting, and PTZ (pan, tilt, and zoom) for deterrence. In the table above, look for the models with Speaker, Lighting, or PTZ in the Talkdown.ai Validated Deterrence Features column, for example the camera with built-in Speaker, Lighting, and PTZ. A camera with an external Speaker needs a speaker connected to it, and a separate IP speaker such as the IPS302030-S can also be used.
For example, a home setup for deterrence can use:
- Driveway: Dual-light Turret Network Camera IPC3634SS-ADF28KMC-I1, for Voice and Lighting deterrence.
- Front door: MultiView Dual-light Network PTZ Camera IPC9312LFW-AF28-2X4, for Voice, Lighting, and PTZ deterrence.
- Siren: IPS302030-S IP Speaker, for very loud siren deterrence with human confirmation.
