An open architecture built for real-time awareness

Kognition is based on an open systems architecture. Interoperability is at the core of the stack, so any third-party hardware, software, or data service integrates seamlessly.

How it’s built

From disparate streams to situational awareness

Kognition fuses data streams from disparate systems in real time, then injects intelligence into the event processing engine — turning raw camera, access control, and sensor data into real-time situational awareness for your team.

System architecture

One intelligent layer between your systems and your team

ON-SITE SYSTEMS INTELLIGENT APPS OUTCOMES Existing cameras Access control VMS / NVR IoT sensors KOGNITION AI PLATFORM Open systems architecture Device interoperability Streaming AI stream augmentation Real-time data fusion Event engine · decision People Watchlist Vehicles Threats Real-time alerts Single-pane dashboards Actions & integrations Decisions actuate back to on-site devices Smart Building Domain Model — one common data model across every building system
The Kognition pipeline: connect any device, fuse every stream in real time, and act on intelligent events — all on one domain model.
The pipeline

Connect. Fuse. Act.

1. Connect

Device interoperability and streaming bring any camera, access control system, VMS, or sensor onto the platform — no rip-and-replace, no proprietary lock-in.

2. Fuse

AI stream augmentation enriches every feed, and real-time data fusion merges disparate streams into a single, coherent picture of your property.

3. Act

The event processing engine turns fused data into decisions: real-time alerts to your team, dashboards in one pane of glass, and actions back to devices.

Deployment

Edge, cloud, or hybrid — your call

Kognition runs on industry-standard compute and network hardware and on the major public clouds, so the platform fits your infrastructure strategy instead of dictating it.

  • Runs on industry-standard compute and network hardware
  • Deploys on public cloud platforms including AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure
  • Self-healing Kubernetes backend keeps the platform up through hardware failures
  • Elastic scaling — grow from one building to thousands of doors, cameras, and sensors
