The problem
Traditional camera systems hold you back
Whether you run one site or fifty, the same four problems show up — and most platforms are priced and built as though they don’t exist.
Pricing that punishes growth
Per-camera, per-month licensing means the invoice scales faster than the value. Adding the fifth camera costs the same as proving the first one worked.
Systems that assume perfect bandwidth
Continuous high-bitrate streaming is the first thing to break when a line degrades — and it usually breaks quietly, leaving gaps nobody notices until they matter.
Footage you can’t actually search
When something happens, the evidence is buried in hours of continuous recording with no index, no tags and no fast way to get to the right minute.
Sites that never come together
Mixed camera brands across locations usually means separate apps, separate logins, and no single timeline of what happened where.
The platform
Modern security for every site you run
A complete, cloud-managed video security platform — deployed on the hardware you already have, working from day one.
Connect
Point Cohi at the cameras already installed on your site.
Stream to cloud
Video and events move to the cloud, adapting to the bandwidth you actually have.
See and act
Alerts, playback and tracking arrive in one dashboard across every location.
Universal camera support
Maximize existing investments. Connect Hikvision, Dahua, Uniview and any ONVIF camera over RTSP — no rip-and-replace, no vendor lock-in.
Cloud recording & search
Find any moment in seconds. Every clip and snapshot lands in a searchable timeline you can scrub, filter and share from anywhere.
Smart detection
Cut through the noise. Motion, person and vehicle events are tagged automatically, so your team reviews what matters instead of everything.
Live tracking
Follow people and assets in motion. Track vehicles and devices on a live map, or trace a sequence of camera sightings across sites.
Resilient by design
Operate through outages. Clips buffer locally and upload when the line recovers, so a bad hour on the network never costs you the footage.
One dashboard, open API
Manage every site from a single view. Add users and roles as you grow, and integrate with your own systems through a documented API.
Retention is configurable from 7 to 30 days by default, with multi-site organisation built in from the start.
How it works
Up and running in three steps
- Step 1
Connect your cameras
Add each camera with its RTSP or ONVIF details. Mobile devices can upload clips where a fixed camera isn’t practical.
Typically minutes per site — no new hardware required.
- Step 2
Data streams securely to the cloud
Cohi chunks video into short clips, tags events and stores everything in the cloud, adapting to the bandwidth available.
Uploads queue and retry automatically when the line drops.
- Step 3
View, search, track and get alerted
Watch live, scrub the event timeline, follow movement on the map, and get notified by push or SMS when something matters.
One dashboard across every site you run.

Retail · Distribution · SMBs
Residential & property
Give property and security teams one view of the gate, perimeter and common areas across the whole site.
Communities · Facility management
Fleet & logistics
Track vehicles and assets on a live map, and tie what happened at the yard to the same timeline.
Haulage · Last-mile · Dispatch
Security firms & integrators
Offer clients a modern cloud layer on the cameras you already install, with API access when you need to build further.
Guarding firms · Systems integrators
Why Cohi
Why security and operations teams choose Cohi
We built Cohi in Africa, where unreliable power and bandwidth are the norm rather than the exception. Engineering for those conditions made the platform more dependable everywhere it runs.
Cloud-edge architecture
Operate offline, sync automatically. Clips are captured and buffered at the edge, then uploaded as bandwidth allows — outages delay footage, never erase it.
Fully interoperable
Protect existing investments, avoid silos. If your cameras speak RTSP or ONVIF they work — keep the hardware, installer and wiring you already paid for.
Scales without friction
Start small, grow without penalty. Add cameras, sites, users and integrations as you expand — no renegotiation, no per-camera surprises.
