# Bahadur NVR

> Bahadur NVR is an AI-powered network video recorder (NVR) for businesses — especially retail stores. It upgrades a customer's existing IP security cameras with AI: plain-language footage search, intelligent alerts, a conversational interface, and store analytics. It is delivered as a full service (audit, in-place install, ongoing tuning), not just a box. Bahadur is built on a modified version of the open-source Frigate NVR and is made by Congruence Labs.

## What Bahadur does

- **Find footage in seconds.** Search recorded video in plain language instead of scrubbing timelines.
- **Alerts that matter.** Intelligent filtering surfaces meaningful events and suppresses noise, so staff only get notified about what counts.
- **Talk to your Bahadur.** A conversational interface lets users ask their cameras questions in natural language.
- **Your store, at a glance.** At-a-glance analytics and overview of what's happening across the premises.
- **New brains for your old cameras.** Works with existing IP cameras and plugs in place of the existing NVR — no rip-and-replace, no new hardware, often live the same day.

## How it's delivered (service, not just product)

1. **Audit.** The team visits on-site, audits existing cameras, and maps what matters — entries, blind spots, valuables, and the customer's real security concerns.
2. **Install in place.** Bahadur NVR replaces the existing NVR. No new cameras required; can be live the same afternoon/week.
3. **Tune continuously.** Alerts, schedules, and priorities are tuned to the operation and re-tuned as the space changes. "The product ships in a box; the service ships with us."

## Who it's for

Retail stores and similar businesses that already have IP cameras and want AI capabilities (search, smart alerts, analytics) without replacing their hardware.
