Xeoma: for CCTV and beyond

Xeoma is the CCTV software for any camera-based project — from basic recording to projects powered by artificial intelligence. Deployed on your computer, it connects to cameras across your network to handle the tasks that matter most to you — from continuous recording and event-triggered notifications to extracting valuable business insights, such as people counting or work time tracking.

Xeoma’s advantages

The software combines extensive capabilities with unique strengths, making it a leader in several segments:

• A leader in its niche. Xeoma is the leading CCTV solution for Linux ARM and Android, as well as one of the most popular choices for macOS.
• Broad reach. It ranks among the top CCTV software for Windows and Linux, confirming its versatility and reliability.

Xeoma is software that transforms your cameras into an intelligent security and analytics system. Here is why security teams and private users choose Xeoma:

• Cross-platform compatibility
  The software runs on all major operating systems: Windows, Linux (including ARM versions), macOS, and Android. It supports the vast majority of cameras, freeing you from vendor lock-in.
• Powerful analytics and unique features
  Deploy artificial intelligence modules for ANPR, face recognition, event detection, visitor flow analysis, and heatmap creation. Xeoma also includes professional-grade tools: integration with access control systems, floor plan creation, automatic archive distribution across multiple drives, an open API, the option to launch your own cloud service – plus much more. Flexible system configuration helps meet any need. The desktop version of Xeoma provides full data control: all data is stored locally on your hardware. Archive privacy and security are built into the platform by design.
• Scalability for any business size
  Start with a few cameras and grow without limits. Xeoma ensures stable operation at scale — up to 3,000 cameras per server, validated by enterprise deployments. The software includes built-in fault tolerance, detailed access rights configuration for employees, and data protection that meets modern compliance standards. Deep customisation options make Xeoma a ready-made platform for enterprise rollouts and unique projects.
• Support tailor-made to your needs
  You get more than just an “out-of-the-box” product. Our team provides free technical support, answers questions of any complexity, and is ready to develop additional features or create a custom solution based on the Xeoma platform to fit your exact requirements.

Bryan Russell, Founder & CEO, Duluth Security Needs Verified purchase

“If I remember correctly, your support team told me several times to prepare for the new facial recognition algorithm, which I eagerly anticipated. When I saw it accurately recognise my face from almost 50 feet away down the hall—from a dewarped 360-degree camera at a mere 1920×1920 resolution—I immediately knew this was the solution so many clients and potential clients had been waiting for.”
25 November 2025

 

James, Software Developer, Hartford CT Verified purchase

“One of the primary reasons I chose Xeoma is the ability to mix and match cameras from various vendors, including generic and inexpensive Chinese brands. Essentially, any camera with RTSP should work.
The idea of being locked into one specific CCTV vendor ecosystem was unattractive, so generic NVR software is ideal to avoid vendor lock-in!”
