Internal Proposal · May 2026

On par with Verkada, Eagle Eye, ADT
without rebuilding a single unit.

A self-service video portal that matches what the platforms charge thousands per camera for. Deployed as a thin layer on top of the GeoVision setup we already run on every unit (Gen2, Gen3, Gen4). Branded Jatagan everywhere our clients look.

01 · Why now

The platforms moved. Our value didn't.

Verkada, Eagle Eye, ADT and Pro-Vigil have spent years turning the client portal into their differentiator. They charge thousands per camera for a polished UX. They don't have our Monitoring Team, our Prevention Crime success rate, or our trust. We have the value. We just needed the portal.

Our clients today log in to the default GeoVision interface — a 2010-era login screen that quietly tells them we're behind on UX.

The platforms compete with us on perception, not protection. Watchtower closes that gap without re-cabling a single site.
02 · The Vision

Watchtower — four phases, one platform.

Phase 1 is live and shipping in 1-2 weeks. Phases 2-3 close by end of June. Phase 4 (AI smart filters) by July-August. One stack, one ramp, predictable cadence.

PHASE 01 ✓ Live

Live cameras, branded, modern.

Replaces the GeoVision portal that nobody uses with an auto-matrix grid that adapts from 3 to 16 cameras, mobile-responsive, with wall-mode for client lobby TVs. Watermarked Jatagan branding everywhere a client can look. Already deployed at jatagan-portal.pages.dev.

PHASE 02 ● Testing now

Self-service recordings — last 10 days, on demand.

Calendar dot-density shows where the action was. Drag-to-select a time range across cameras. Multi-camera synchronized playback like a war-room replay. The client finds what they need without ever calling us.

PHASE 03 → Next

Curation portal — branded delivery, every time.

An admin tool only for the Monitoring Team. Pick clips across cameras, drag onto a shared timeline, trim, export. Generate a single branded link the client opens, watches, downloads. Replaces email attachments and Dropbox shares forever.

AI smart filters — find what matters in seconds.

Every uploaded clip auto-tagged for humans and vehicles via Cloudflare Workers AI (data never leaves CF). Client filters thousands of clips down to the 12 that actually matter. ~$5/month for the entire 120-unit fleet. Verkada charges hundreds per camera per year for an equivalent. Phase 5 (custom-trained Jatagan-specific events) builds on the same foundation.

03 · Architecture

Built around the unit, not inside it.

Multicam (Gen2) and GV-VMS (Gen3-4) keep doing their job. CenterV2 keeps streaming to the Monitoring Center. We add a thin layer outside the existing GeoVision install — never inside it. If our layer fails, your monitoring operation is unaffected. Same architecture works on all 3 generations.

Key insight: the Monitoring Team sees zero change. The Jatagan-converter runs at idle priority, capped to 2 cores — when Multicam / VMS needs CPU, it gets it. Already validated on a Gen2 unit (the weakest hardware we have) with no measurable impact on real-time monitoring. Gen3 / Gen4 units have plenty of headroom.
04 · Competitive Position

Match them on UX. Beat them on flexibility.

The platforms sell client portals as their differentiator — but they require swapping every camera to their hardware. Jatagan keeps the existing GeoVision setup and wraps it with a portal that competitors can't match without re-cabling.

05 · Roadmap

From validated to fleet-wide in one quarter.

We're past the hardest part — the architecture is proven on a Gen2 unit (the weakest hardware in the fleet). Phases 2-3 close by end of June. AI tagging follows in July-August.

06 · The Ask

Three small commitments to move forward.

The technical work is mostly done — Phase 1 ships in 1-2 weeks. What's pending is a green light to migrate from Luis's test environment into Jatagan-owned infrastructure, and a domain to call home.

Pilot units

Pick 3-5 deployed units for the first production rollout — ideally a mix of Gen2, Gen3 and Gen4 hardware so we validate all 3 generations early. We're up to 120 units total in field, plenty of options.

3-5 units by Jun 15

The fastest way to evaluate is to use it.

The live portal is already running on a Gen2 test unit (the weakest hardware in the fleet). Open it, log in, navigate. You'll see what your competitors charge thousands per camera for.
