VMS storage shouldn't be a liability
Traditional NVR/VMS deployments rely entirely on local DAS storage — expensive to scale, difficult to protect, and a single point of failure for your surveillance infrastructure.
Local storage fills up, forcing premature overwrite of recordings
Hardware failure destroys months of surveillance history
Scaling storage requires physical drive installation and downtime
No centralized visibility across multi-site deployments
Manual archival processes introduce operational risk
A controlled path from edge to cloud
Everest creates a transparent bridge between local VMS storage and cloud object storage, managing the full video lifecycle — from active recording to long-term archival — without any modifications to Nx Witness or the host environment.
Reduce local storage pressure with automated cloud archival
Preserve Nx Witness playback workflow transparently
Maintain cloud replicas for disaster recovery
Track sites, licenses, and usage across all deployments
Support hybrid local + cloud storage model
Operate on Ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04 with .deb packages
From write to cloud in one pipeline
Everest intercepts VMS file operations at the filesystem level and routes data through a high-throughput shared memory pipeline to cloud object storage — transparently and without VMS modification.

Designed for Nx Witness deployments
Everest is built specifically for Nx Witness / Network Optix storage workflows, integrating at the filesystem level to provide transparent cloud archival without any VMS configuration changes.
Zero VMS modifications
Nx Witness operates normally with no patches, plugins, or API access required.
Transparent stub files
Archived recordings appear at full size in Nx Witness even after local reclamation.
Seamless playback
Cloud recordings are hydrated on-demand when the VMS requests archived footage.
S3 folder mirroring
Cloud storage mirrors the exact Nx Witness directory structure for 1:1 audit mapping.
1:1 folder mirror of Nx Witness directory structure in cloud storage. Full audit trail by site, drive, server, camera, and date.
Designed for enterprise deployment
Everest follows enterprise security practices throughout the stack — from encrypted credential storage to HTTPS-enforced management interfaces and tamper-evident audit logs.
Encrypted Credentials
Cloud keys encrypted at rest, never in plaintext
HTTPS Management
TLS-enforced admin interface with JWT auth
Tenant Isolation
Separate credentials and audit trail per tenant
Auto Recovery
Health checks and service restart with backoff
Audit Logs
Tamper-evident log of all lifecycle operations
Checksum Verify
MD5 integrity check on every upload and restore
Health Monitoring
Continuous driver, connectivity, and worker monitoring
DR Capability
Full site restore from cloud after hardware failure
