Smart CCTV video surveillance
Off-the-shelf NVR hardware recommended by BearBox, or bring your own — stream live footage from any browser or the BearBox app.
How it works
Simple steps, fast access
Motion triggers recording
Camera starts recording when motion is detected at a monitored area — configurable per camera on the NVR.
NVR stores the footage
Footage is written to the on-site NVR — retained for as long as storage capacity allows.
Stream live remotely
Open the BearBox app or any browser to stream a live view of any camera without being on-site.
Export if needed
Footage can be exported from the NVR for insurance claims, police reports, or tenant disputes.
Why it matters
Security that adapts to your operation
Self-storage CCTV has historically meant office-bound viewing — either a dedicated monitor in reception or an NVR-specific mobile app nobody updates. Bearbox keeps the NVR doing what it's good at (recording, storage, playback) and adds one missing piece: live streaming inside the same app and portal you already use for access control. When a tenant calls about a forced door, you open the Bearbox app, pull up the camera, and see what's happening right now — no switching tools. For playback, export, or anything retention-related, the NVR's own interface still takes over. Use off-the-shelf cameras and NVR hardware we recommend, or bring what you already have.
Motion-triggered recording
NVR-configurable motion detection means cameras record when something happens — not 24/7 — keeping storage manageable.
Dedicated NVR system
An on-site NVR handles all recording and storage, operating independently from the access control system.
