- Check Compatibility
How the Adapter Connects
Plug into your existing network, not your system.
Your Existing Cameras
Your compatible IP cameras stay connected to your existing network or NVR setup. Analog/coax DVR cameras are not directly compatible without a manual review or upgrade path.
- Keep your existing camera wiring and positions
- All existing recording schedules and motion settings remain
- Works with compatible IP/network camera systems
Your Existing NVR / DVR
Your recorder stays as your primary recording device. The Videoloft Cloud Adapter connects to your network alongside it - not in place of it.
- Local recording continues without interruption
- No firmware changes needed on your recorder
- Adapter connects to your network switch, not your recorder directly

A small hardware device that connects to your network switch or router. It discovers your recorder on the network and securely transmits video to the ANY AI CAM cloud.
- Plug into any available Ethernet port on your network switch
- Automatically discovers compatible recorders on your network
- No computer needed - runs 24/7 on its own
