Design philosophy

Our intention from the outset, was to create a surveillance solution that anyone could use to protect their home and business, while being flexible and scalable enough to adapt to any environment.

Let's face it, everybody needs protection for their home; but not everyone has $000’s to shell out on an expensive surveillance system.

This is where Anionu comes in - it utilizes technology that everybody has access to eg. the internet, computers and mobile phones. We have removed the need for all this specialized surveillance equipment, and created a low cost surveillance system that is easily available to everybody.

Freedom of implementation

Unlike many surveillance companies we do not restrict you to using our special brand of cameras or equipment. If you have a specific brand of mobile phone, and want to use it with Anionu, you should be able to use it. If you want to use a specific brand of camera, or already have one at home, you should be able to use it.

Being compatible with generic technologies means that:

  • Anionu is low cost.

    Since you probably already own the hardware you need, and no specialized equipment is required to run Anionu, costs can be kept to an absolute minimum.

  • Anionu is compatible with all devices.

    Anionu is designed to work with all computer, mobile and PC camera brands.

  • Anionu is global.

    Since the internet is global, Anionu is not limited by locality. You can simultaneously monitor numerous locations around the world, from anywhere in the world.

  • Anionu is future proof.

    The common factor in modern integrative technological advancement is internet compatibility, so unlike digital CCTV and bygone analog surveillance equipment, Anionu will always be current with the latest technology as it advances.

Simplicity is best

A key factor in Anionu's design is simplicity. Most software available today has too many features, too many buttons and too much to learn, so rather than follow the trend we have done away with all the bells and whistles. As a result we have also added some great features that conventional surveillance systems can only dream about:

  • Remote surveillance from your mobile phone.

    Simply log into you Anionu dashboard from your mobile phone, and you have live on-the-go access to all your surveillance channels right at your fingertips.

  • Security notifications on your mobile phone.

    Be the first to know; have your surveillance notifications sent directly to your mobile phone or a security company.

  • Online storage of sensitive data.

    Videos recorded during motion detection are uploaded and can be viewed via your online dashboard anywhere, anytime. This is convenient and also provides a fail-safe backup for important surveillance data (just in case the thief decides to take your computer too!).

Software should be affordable

Some business software costs tens of thousands of dollars a year. That’s outrageous. Our products start at $15/month and our most expensive corporate plans are $249/month. We also won’t lock you into a contract or force you to buy our special brand of surveillance equipment. We believe in keeping our customers by providing the best service at the best price – bar none.

Surveillance as a service

Our surveillance solution is provided “as a service”. This means that all your surveillance needs are taken care of by us, in one easy to manage service. This provides many benefits for you:

  • No complicated servers to install and maintain.
  • No software to administer and keep up to date.
  • No new security holes to worry about.
  • No scaling issues to sweat over.
  • No disk drives to fail and demand replacement.
  • Your surveillance data and videos are reliably stored off-site on our servers, providing you with fail-safe backups, and easy access via your online dashboard.
Simply set up your account, plug in your cameras, and Anionu will take care of the rest.
