Overedge

When the camera sees a vehicle at the gate, the gate opens.

Overedge Bridge is an app that runs on your Axis camera. You write rules like this one, and it makes relays, gates and lights act on what the camera sees.

A yard at dusk seen from a security camera: a car waits at a sliding gate that is opening. A banner says the gate was opened, tags show the gate position and the yard light's power, and a status line shows all devices online.

Illustration of a camera picture. The banner, the two tags and the status line are what Bridge draws into the video, live and in recordings.

What Bridge does

Acts on camera events
Motion, an analytics scenario, a line crossed, an input on the camera: any event the camera raises can switch a relay, open or close a gate or blind, or turn a light on at the brightness and colour you choose. It can follow the event, hold for a set time, pulse, or stay on until a person acknowledges it.
Turns devices into camera events
A door contact closing, a gate that has opened, a temperature above 30 °C, power draw that drops to zero. Bridge raises a camera event, and the camera's own rules decide what follows: record, move to a preset, notify someone.
Shows it in the video
A status line, live readings pinned to places in the picture, a banner when a rule acts, and a red bar while an alarm waits to be acknowledged. Whoever watches the stream sees what the site is doing without opening another system.
Finds devices for you
One scan of the network lists the devices Bridge can work with. Add them with a click, and control them from a card: switches, inputs, covers, lights, sensors and energy readings in one place.

Inside the app

The Bridge dashboard: nine devices online, 5.99 kW being drawn, six mappings, and one alarm waiting to be acknowledged.
Dashboard. The whole site at a glance: what is online, how much power is being drawn, and what needs a person.

Works with the devices installers already use

Shelly

Compatible with Shelly Gen1, Plus, Pro and Gen3 mains-powered relays, plugs, input modules, cover controllers, dimmers, RGBW controllers and energy meters.

Industrial relay and input modules. Describe where the relays are and Bridge reads and switches them like any other device.

Devices with a web interface

Networked relays and power sockets that report their state as JSON and are switched by simple web requests.

Have a device that is not listed? Tell us which one. Adding a product is usually a small description file, not a new version of the app.

It runs on the camera, on your network

Bridge is installed on the camera like any other Axis application. The camera talks to the devices directly over the local network.

There is no cloud account, no gateway box and no server to maintain. If the internet connection goes down, the rules keep working.
