Most restaurants have working cameras. They generate hours of footage every shift, stored on a DVR no one ever opens. ServvOS hardware turns that passive video into structured operational signal — captured continuously, processed locally, surfaced where your team can act on it.
You're paying for cameras, storage, monthly DVR licenses — and getting almost no operational value back. The system only earns its keep when something has already gone wrong.
Three components ship per location. Most existing IP cameras work as inputs; we add overhead sensors at the bar and dining sections to unlock the metrics a corner camera can't see.
Top-down camera optimized for bar pours and dining-section coverage. Critical for any drink-tracking metric.
4K · 120° FOV · PoE · Low-light
On-premise inference appliance. All raw video processing happens here — only structured events leave the building.
GPU · 24/7 · ~30W · Silent fanless
Plug-and-play uplink for existing IP cameras. Auto-discovers your stack — no wiring changes required.
PoE · WiFi 6 · LTE backup
Average deployment is 4–6 hours during off-hours. No service disruption.
Low-light tolerant, vibration resistant, food-service safe. Built to outlive your lease.
Local LTE backup keeps the system running even if your internet drops. Buffered events sync when uplink returns.
We don't ask you to rip out a working camera system to install ServvOS. Most existing IP cameras integrate as inputs — we layer the smart parts on top.
Our team confirms compatibility during your free site assessment — usually a 20-minute call.
Corner cameras give partial signal. Overhead sensors unlock the metrics that drive the highest-value LP and revenue plays.
Restaurant monitoring is legally fine in most states with proper notice. The hard part is doing it in a way that staff doesn't resent and that doesn't expose you to biometric or wiretap law. ServvOS is engineered around those concerns from the ground up.
ServvOS classifies behavior, not faces. No biometric identifiers stored, no face matching, sidesteps BIPA/CCPA biometric obligations.
Video only. California's two-party consent law (Penal Code §632) doesn't apply because we never record audio.
We surface "investigate this pattern" not "this individual did X." Avoids sole-source disciplinary issues, aligns with the spirit of CA's AB 1221.
Raw footage stays in your building. Only structured event data leaves — and only with your consent.
Raw video kept 24–48 hours by default. Aggregated metrics retained per your policy. Configurable per location.
Employee notice template, signage, handbook language, onboarding acknowledgment flow. We don't activate at a location until staff notice is on file.
Free site assessment — we'll tell you which existing cameras work and where new sensors would unlock the most value.
We'll follow up within one business day to schedule a 30-minute walkthrough or site assessment.

Almost always yes. ServvOS supports any ONVIF or RTSP-compatible IP camera, which covers virtually every modern setup. Older analog systems may need adapters. We confirm compatibility during a free site assessment.
Very little — typically under 100 KB/min per location. Because all video processing happens on-site at the edge compute box, only structured event data (timestamps, classifications, zones) is uploaded.
Local processing continues uninterrupted. Events are buffered and synced once the uplink is back. The optional LTE backup keeps even cloud reporting live during outages.
No, by default. Raw footage stays on the edge appliance with 24–48 hour retention, configurable per location. Only structured events leave the building. Optional cloud archiving available on request.
For pilots and first deployments, we send a ServvOS technician. For multi-location rollouts, we partner with regional low-voltage installers and certify them on our process. Either way, deployment fits in a single off-hours window.
