     <p class="sub">Finding the right footage across hundreds of cameras and months of retention is a large manual task. Surveillance Broker turns the archive into something you can browse on a true wall-clock timeline, search by what actually happened, and simply ask &mdash; and it opens the exact camera and time in one step. And because it ties the cameras to your access control, inventory, and production systems, you can ask questions about your operation, not just your footage.</p>

-    <p>The Riverside Mill campus runs <b>over 200 cameras with 90 days of full retention</b>. That coverage is only useful if you can find the moment you need &mdash; and on a system that size, running 24/7, that is a genuinely hard problem. We built an intelligence layer over the camera archive so operators could stop scrubbing tape and simply describe what they were looking for.</p>
-    <p>It worked well enough at Riverside Mill that we generalized it into its own product: <b>Surveillance Broker</b>. It is not tied to any one site or camera vendor. It runs today on the live Riverside Mill archive &mdash; thousands of recordings across every camera in the building &mdash; and the same pipeline takes any site's cameras next.</p>
