- The Platform

The intelligence layer your systems

are missing.

Harmony CIVIC sits on top of your existing infrastructure and turns raw sound into actionable context — delivered via API to any system, workflow or control room.

Works with existing cameras, VMS and access control systems.

Edge

All processing on-device. No audio leaves the location.

API

Structured event output into any existing VMS, alarm or workflow.

AVG

No audio recordings. No personal data. GDPR compliant by design.

How it works

From sound to decision in four steps.

Harmony CIVIC processes audio at the edge, classifies what it hears, adds context, and pushes a structured event to your existing systems — all in real time.

Security sound alerts sound recognition smart triggers alerts intergration

1

Detect

Audio capture

Microphones capture continuous audio at the edge — wherever they are deployed. No cloud upload. No storage of raw audio.

2

Classify

Edge AI

On-device AI classifies the sound in real time: type, direction of origin (DOA), and severity — without sending data externally.

3

Enrich

Context Library

The event is enriched with sector-specific context: time of day, location, access data, calendar — turning a sound into a meaningful signal.

4

Deliver

API output

A structured event is pushed into any connected system or workflow. The receiving system sees what happened — not just that something happened.

EDGE AI

All intelligence. On device.

Harmony CIVIC processes everything locally. No audio is sent to the cloud. No recordings are stored. The edge device classifies, filters and enriches — and only pushes a structured metadata event.

 

This is not just a privacy choice. It’s an architectural one. Edge processing means lower latency, no dependency on connectivity, and no single point of failure.

On-device classification

Audio is classified locally using our proprietary AI models. Nothing leaves the device as raw audio.

Sound origin detection

Determines where sound originates within the space — so every event includes a location, not just a classification.

Silent Camera principle

Audio triggers PTZ camera activation only when relevant. No continuous video recording required.

Context Library

Sound without context is just noise.

The Context Library is what makes HC different from any decibel meter or basic classifier. It enriches every acoustic event with sector-specific intelligence, so the output is always actionable.

Security

Cross-references alarm triggers, access control events and camera feeds. Filters false positives based on time, occupancy and known baselines.

Hospitality

Links acoustic events to PMS data: check-in/out times, room type, floor, booking context. Distinguishes guest activity from actual incidents.

Public Space

Integrates with BMS, environmental data and scheduling. Understands what’s expected — and flags what isn’t.

Sensor Fusion

Audio as an intelligent detection layer.

Cameras see what’s in frame. Access control registers who passed through. Harmony CIVIC adds what both miss: what is actually happening, interpreted from sound.

Security sound alerts sound recognition smart triggers alerts intergration

Camera

Sees movement and image. Cannot interpret what it hears, what happens outside the frame, or what a situation means.

Access control

Registers who entered or exited. Cannot determine what happened after the door closed or whether a situation escalated.

Harmony CIVIC

Hears what cameras miss. Interprets the type of activity, where it originates, and whether it requires a response — in real time.

By combining acoustic intelligence with existing detection systems, Harmony CIVIC creates a fuller picture of every event. Not as a replacement — but as the layer that gives your existing infrastructure the ability to understand, not just detect.

API & Integrations

Structured events. Into your stack.

Harmony CIVIC delivers enriched events as structured JSON via webhook or REST API. Every event includes type, location, timestamp, severity and recommended action.

 

No new interface for your operators. Events land directly in your VMS, alarm platform or control room workflow.

Works with your existing systems

Harmony CIVIC integrates with the platforms already in use at your location — no replacement, no new interface for operators.

Sector-specific integrations

Security, hospitality or public space — each vertical connects to the relevant systems. See how it works for your environment.

Webhook & REST API

Any system that accepts an HTTP call can receive Harmony CIVIC events. Standard JSON output, no proprietary format.

Now new workflow required

Privacy & Compliance

Built for Europe.
AVG-proof by design.

Harmony CIVIC processes audio metadata — never recordings. No personal data is captured, stored or transmitted. This is not a legal workaround. It’s how the system is architected.

🔒

No audio storage

Raw audio is never stored or transmitted. Only classified metadata leaves the device.

📍

On-premise processing

All AI runs locally on the edge device. No cloud dependency for classification.

🇪🇺

GDPR / AVG compliant

No biometric data. No voice recognition. No personal identifiers processed or stored.

Audit-ready

Every event is logged with timestamp, location and classification. Full audit trail available.
