JDX Stronghold 3.0
Recording and alarm control for the cameras you already own.
One PC on site becomes the video recorder and the intruder alarm. Any make of IP camera. Footage encrypted on the machine that records it. One licence per server, with no fee per camera.
What it does
Built for the site, not the cloud.
JDX Stronghold runs on a Windows or Ubuntu PC at the premises. Cameras, footage and alarm logic stay on that machine.
Records what is already installed
Finds cameras by ONVIF discovery or takes an address by hand. Streams go to disk as the camera sends them, with no re-encoding, so quality stays intact and processor load stays low.
Intruder logic on top of video
Draw motion zones on each camera and group them into areas. Arm and disarm by area, with entry and exit countdowns, 24-hour zones and weekly schedules that include New Zealand public holidays.
Tells a person from a shadow
Object detection marks people, vehicles and animals inside a zone that is already moving. It runs on the processor. No graphics card and no cloud service.
Footage that holds as evidence
Every clip is encrypted with AES-256 and sealed with HMAC-SHA256. An altered clip is refused, not played. Footage leaves the machine only as an export.
Operate from a phone
A web interface for phones and other PCs: live view, arm and disarm, playback and events. Configuration and deletion stay on the console. The web interface has no route to them.
Every action on record
Each arm, disarm, sign-in and change is logged with the user or device that made it. Camera tamper is reported whether the site is armed or not.
Also included
No add-on modules.
The trial and the licence run the same software. Nothing is held back for a higher price.

Ownership
The footage is yours. So is the machine.
JDX Security never receives footage, camera passwords or site plans. There is no cloud account to keep paying for.
- Uninstalling never deletes footage. Recordings stay on the drive until retention or the owner removes them.
- A licence problem is designed never to stop recording. The worst case is a reminder on screen.
- No audio is recorded. Video only, which keeps most sites clear of the strictest surveillance rules.
- Perpetual licence. Security fixes stay free for every customer.
