We plug a small AI box into the CCTV you already have, whatever the brand or age, and your cameras start noticing what matters to you: a stranger on the wall at 2am, a pupil leaving the school gate, a worker without a helmet, smoke in the store, the queue at the till, the car at the gate. A photo and one line reach your phone while it is still happening. No new cameras. No new cabling. Live in a day.
Nairobi-based. Authorised East African partner for Teledyne FLIR, Echodyne and SensoGuard. Your video never leaves your site.
A gate is the easiest place to show it. Left is what the camera records today, a picture nobody is watching. Right is the same frame after we add the box: the car identified, the plate read, the gate opened, all in the log before the guard has stood up. The same box teaches any camera any of the skills below, at a gate or nowhere near one.
Illustrative overlay on a staged scene. The vehicle and plate are demonstration props, not a customer’s data.
Each camera runs the skills that matter where it points, and you can change them as your needs change. You are never again buying a camera for one job.
A person on the wall at 2am is not a cat or a branch, and the box knows the difference. Both parents’ phones get the picture before anyone is inside. It works with the four cameras your installer put up last year.
Homes · Apartments · Estates
Every pupil counted in and out, an alert if one leaves during class hours, and a message when an adult has been waiting outside the fence too long. No faces are stored, so the school stays on the right side of the Data Protection Act.
Schools · Colleges · Daycare
The corridor camera that is already there sees a person fall and not get up. The nurse station gets a photo and the location in seconds, not when someone happens to walk past.
Hospitals · Clinics · Care homes
No helmet in the mixing hall, someone inside the forklift lane, smoke behind the stores: the box flags it the moment it appears and keeps the record your safety officer needs for the audit.
Factories · Sites · Warehouses
How many walked in today, how many are inside now, how long the till queue is at 6pm. Loss prevention keeps running; the numbers you have been guessing at come for free. Nobody’s face is stored.
Shops · Supermarkets · Banks
Animals counted at the trough, a person in the store at night, a vehicle at the farm gate after dark. On a farm the cameras are the only thing awake, so the box makes them useful.
Farms · Ranches · PackhousesLabels are illustrations of what the alerts say. Photographs are stock or staged scenes, not customers’ footage.
Whether that is a home DVR on a shelf or a rack in a control room, a unit the size of a paperback plugs in beside it and reads the same camera feeds. Nothing on the walls changes.
Not “analytics”, plain questions. Who should never be on that wall after dark. Whether the ward corridor needs fall alerts. When the shop is too full. Which lane needs plates. We switch on the right skills for each camera and tune them with you for two weeks.
A photo and one sentence on WhatsApp, “Person at back wall, 02:14”, to the people who can act: you, your guard, the nurse station, the site supervisor. No app to learn, no screens to stare at.
A four-camera home and a four-hundred-camera plant get the same box and the same skills. Only the number of cameras changes.
One operator, thirty screens, a twelve-hour shift. Or one family, four cameras and an app nobody opens. Either way, footage is only ever reviewed after something has already gone wrong.
Covering a single guard post around the clock takes three to four guards. At the statutory minimum of KSh 30,000 each, that is over KSh 90,000 a month before employer costs, for one post. The box is priced per camera, so a home with four cameras pays for four and a plant with four hundred pays for four hundred, and every skill on this page is available at every size.

Indicative pricing, September 2026, excluding VAT. Twelve-month minimum term. Volume pricing above 50 cameras. The appliance is quoted separately after the assessment, because the number of cameras decides how many you need.
The Data Protection Act 2019 applies to CCTV, and the regulator has started enforcing it. We build the compliance in, so you are covered from day one instead of finding out the hard way.
A person who installs CCTV is a data controller who must register with the Data Commissioner and have a lawful basis for what the cameras collect, even at a private home.
In November 2025 the Data Commissioner ordered a Nairobi couple to pay KSh 200,000 because their cameras captured a neighbour's property. In January 2025 the High Court let a KSh 250,000 award against a lodge stand.
Number-plate and person detection do not trigger the biometric rules. Facial recognition does, with a DPIA filed 60 days before you start, which is why we ship it switched off.
Yes. The box does not care whether it reads four cameras or four hundred. For a home the usual set is intruder detection on the perimeter cameras, a gate alert and after-hours presence, with alerts to two or three phones. Pricing is per camera, so a small site pays a small amount, and the assessment is scaled to match.
Probably. The skills listed are the ones we run every week. If you can describe what you would want a person watching that camera to notice, we can usually teach the box to notice it. Tell us in the quote form and we will say honestly whether it can be done and how well, before you spend anything.
Almost certainly, yes. If your cameras publish an RTSP or ONVIF stream — which covers essentially every IP camera sold in Kenya in the last decade, including Hikvision, Dahua, Uniview, Axis, Hanwha, CP Plus and unbranded units — we can read them. Older analogue cameras work through your existing DVR. The site assessment confirms it camera by camera before you spend anything.
No. That is the whole point. What you may need is to move one or two: security cameras are usually aimed at doors and gates, and some detections need a different angle. We tell you exactly which ones in the assessment report, and you decide.
Yes, with obligations. CCTV in Kenya is governed by the Data Protection Act 2019. You need a lawful basis, entrance signage carrying specific information, a defined retention period, and in most commercial cases registration with the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner. Facial recognition carries much heavier obligations than ordinary detection. We handle all of this as part of the installation.
Most commercial camera operators do. The exemption is narrow — below KSh 5 million turnover and fewer than 10 employees — and it does not apply at all to organisations processing for certain purposes. Registration fees run from KSh 4,000 to KSh 40,000 depending on the size of the organisation, and certificates last 24 months. We will tell you which tier you fall into and help you file.
If your cameras cover a publicly accessible space, or you use biometrics, yes — and it has to be done before installation, not after. It also has to be redone when cameras are moved or the system is reconfigured. A DPIA is included in our data protection pack.
Very little. Because the analysis happens on your site, we send event records and the occasional still image rather than video. In practice that is a few hundred megabytes per camera per month instead of several hundred gigabytes. It works on a modest fibre line and on 4G.
The box draws very little power, so a small UPS keeps it and your cameras detecting through a typical outage. It also keeps working when the internet drops, because it does not need the internet to detect — only to tell you. Alerts queue and deliver when the link returns.
It can, but we ship it disabled and we advise against it in most settings. The demographic error rates are worst on the population you will actually be processing, and Kenyan law requires a DPIA filed with the regulator 60 days before you start. Where a client genuinely needs it — consented access control, for example — we scope it separately and file the assessment first.
Yes, and we will not tell you how well until we have tested it on your gate. There is no published accuracy data for Kenyan plates anywhere, and Kenyan conditions — mixed old and new plates, yellow rear plates, dust, damage, motorcycles at odd angles — are harder than the conditions every published figure was measured in. We run a read-rate trial and show you the result.
For a typical 16 to 30 camera site, the assessment takes a day, and commissioning takes one to two days after that. The first two weeks are a tuning period where we watch the alert volume with you and adjust the rules. Nobody should sign off a system in week one.
It will, especially in the first fortnight — that is normal and it is what the tuning period is for. What matters is that the rate comes down and stays down. We contract a target, review it at week two, week six and week twelve, and fix what is driving it. Any supplier who tells you there will be no false alarms is telling you something that is not true.
Yes. We work across Kenya, including Mombasa, Nakuru, Eldoret, Kisumu, Thika and the agricultural belt. Remote sites are actually where this technology earns its keep, because they are the ones where a guard cannot see far enough and the internet cannot carry video.
Two quick questions, then a WhatsApp number. A DUNARI engineer replies within one working day with indicative pricing and a date for the site assessment, whether it is a home, a school or a plant.
