What is Banalytics?

Banalytics in one paragraph

Banalytics is an edge orchestration and monitoring platform for cameras, sensors, and physical systems. It connects mixed-brand IP cameras (ONVIF, RTSP), USB devices, DAQ systems, Modbus equipment, and MQTT-based sensors to a single browser-based console. Recordings and raw data remain on your hardware. Events trigger automated workflows: Telegram alerts with video context, MQTT publishes, webhook calls, AI-driven object detection (YOLO), or a Gemini AI assistant. Banalytics does not replace your existing processing code or hardware; it adds the operational layer around them.

Key capabilities

• Universal device integration — ONVIF, RTSP, USB cameras; DAQ; Modbus RTU/TCP; MQTT v3 and v5; ZeroMQ; gamepads; agent connectors.
• Local-first storage — recordings on local disk, NAS, edge node, or industrial PC. No cloud account required.
• Event-based workflows — triggers, filters, actions. Route events to MQTT, APIs, Telegram, email, audio output, PTZ presets, or custom Java/CMD tasks.
• Browser-based remote access — live streams, dashboards, event history, and system health from any device. P2P or portal-mediated WebRTC.
• AI on the edge — YOLO object detection, Gemini AI assistant for natural-language scene queries.
• Modular pricing — first instance of every paid component is free. Pay only for additional instances.
• Open API — publish results, events, and metadata to external systems, AI pipelines, SCADA, or cloud storage.

Who Banalytics is for

• Industrial sensing and instrumentation teams running high-bandwidth measurement pipelines (cameras, DAQ, C++/CUDA/Python). Make existing systems observable without rebuilding them. See Industrial sensing.
• Multi-site SMB operators unifying mixed-brand cameras across retail, services, and warehouses. One dashboard. Actionable Telegram alerts. See SMB operations.
• AI / ML teams whose core bottleneck is reliable real-world field data collection for training and validation. See AI data teams.
• Makers, homelab builders, and Home Assistant users running mixed cameras locally without cloud lock-in. See Makers & homelabs.

When Banalytics is not the right fit

• You only need one wireless camera with a manufacturer app — a consumer cloud camera is simpler.
• You require a turn-key, hardware-included NVR appliance with on-site warranty support.
• Your environment requires enterprise PSIM features (LPR, facial recognition at scale, badge-system integration) without customization.

How Banalytics works

1. Install the Banalytics agent on any PC, mini-PC, or Raspberry Pi (Windows, Linux x86_64, Linux ARM64).
2. Register the agent in the web console with the access code shown after install.
3. Add devices: discover cameras automatically (ONVIF discovery, network scan) or add them manually.
4. Configure recording, motion detection, and event handlers from the browser.
5. Optionally enable AI components: YOLO object detection, Gemini AI assistant.
6. Stream live to a dashboard, embed in your own website, or pipe events to MQTT/Telegram/external APIs.
