Zilk Physical Security Platform

One console for every camera, door, and sensor.

A unified physical-security software platform that brings video management, access control, and AI analytics into a single command console. ONVIF-based and NDAA-compliant, it onboards mixed-brand cameras and readers over open standards, correlates events across every subsystem, and gives your SOC one operating picture instead of a wall of disconnected point apps.

  1. 01

    Unified command console

    Live video, doors, alarms, and analytics events on one map-driven screen, replacing separate VMS, access, and analytics apps.

  2. 02

    Open-standard integration

    Onboards mixed-brand cameras and readers over ONVIF, RTSP, and OSDP — no single-vendor lock-in.

  3. 03

    Built-in AI analytics

    ANPR/LPR, intrusion, loitering, people counting, PPE, and watchlist detection run natively with policy-driven escalation.

Capabilities

What Zilk Physical Security Platform does

  • Unified command console

    A single map- and floorplan-driven view of live and recorded video, door states, alarms, and analytics events across every connected site.

  • Open-standard VMS

    Records and streams mixed-brand IP cameras over ONVIF Profile S/G/T and RTSP with H.264/H.265 smart-codec support, PTZ control, and failover recording.

  • Integrated access control

    Manages doors, controllers, and credentials over OSDP Secure Channel with card, mobile, and biometric support, anti-passback, and interlocks.

  • Native AI analytics

    ANPR/LPR, line-crossing and loitering, people counting, PPE detection, and watchlist face matching run as built-in event sources, not bolt-on servers.

  • Cross-system event correlation

    Ties an access-denied swipe, an intrusion alarm, and the nearest camera into one incident, cutting operator noise and speeding response.

  • Incident workflow automation

    Standard operating procedures auto-trigger guided response steps, escalations, and fully audit-logged operator actions on defined alarm conditions.

  • Identity and building-system integration

    Syncs access rights from HR and directory systems and interfaces with fire, intrusion, and building management systems through open APIs.

  • Compliance and privacy controls

    NDAA device flagging, configurable retention and purge, video masking, and role-based access support GDPR and data-protection obligations.

Use cases

Where teams put Zilk Physical Security Platform to work

  1. 01

    A multi-site enterprise consolidates separate VMS, access-control, and analytics consoles into one command screen while keeping all footage and credentials on its own infrastructure.

  2. 02

    A logistics operator automates gate entry with ANPR, ties each plate read to the nearest camera and access group, and logs every vehicle movement for audit.

  3. 03

    A critical-infrastructure SOC correlates perimeter intrusion alarms with thermal and PTZ cameras so operators verify and respond to real events in seconds.

  4. 04

    A facilities team runs an NDAA audit across thousands of installed devices, flags prohibited hardware, and tracks a phased, compliant replacement programme.

  5. 05

    A corporate campus provisions and revokes employee badges automatically from its directory so building access follows joiner-mover-leaver status in real time.

Why Zilk

Why Zilk Physical Security Platform

  • Three products in one — VMS, access control, and AI analytics share a single console and data model instead of three separate systems stitched together at the SOC.

  • Open-standard and vendor-neutral — ONVIF, RTSP, and OSDP onboarding means no camera or reader lock-in and no forced hardware refresh.

  • NDAA-compliant and privacy-aware by design, with built-in device flagging, retention enforcement, and masking rather than after-the-fact bolt-ons.

  • On-premises or private-cloud deployment keeps footage, credentials, and biometric data inside your own infrastructure, unlike cloud-only surveillance SaaS.
