A Milestone, Genetec or Verkada alternative built for Indian plants
Milestone XProtect, Genetec Security Center and Verkada are strong, widely deployed products. If you run a large enterprise campus with a dedicated security operations team, one of them may well be the right choice.
Neurabit VMS is built for a different buyer: an Indian plant or multi-site industrial group that wants AI analytics included rather than bolted on, full operation without internet, rules its own EHS team can change, and pricing in rupees per camera.
Key facts
- Neurabit VMS includes 17 AI analytics scenarios in the core product, while Milestone XProtect and Genetec Security Center typically add AI analytics through separately licensed partner integrations.
- Neurabit VMS runs fully on-premise on NVIDIA Jetson or x86 hardware and keeps recording, detecting and alerting with the internet down.
- Neurabit VMS accepts standard ONNX models, so a plant can upload its own AI model and run it alongside the built-in scenarios.
- Neurabit VMS subscription starts at ₹800 per use case per camera per month with edge hardware included. To own the hardware instead, edge devices start at roughly ₹50,000 and each handles up to 10 cameras, with each use case licensed per camera on a perpetual or annual licence, priced on request. Discount tiers are available on request.
When Neurabit VMS is the better fit
- You want AI analytics such as PPE, fire and smoke, and restricted-area detection included, without integrating and licensing a separate analytics vendor.
- Your site has limited or unreliable internet, and monitoring cannot stop when the link drops.
- You want your own team to change zones, schedules, thresholds and even models, without a change request.
- You want to reuse your existing ONVIF IP cameras rather than replace them.
- You want a per-camera rupee price, on subscription with hardware included or as a licence on hardware you own.
When Milestone, Genetec or Verkada may be the better fit
- You need one platform for video, access control and licence plate recognition across a large corporate estate, which is Genetec's strength.
- You already run Milestone XProtect across many sites with a certified integrator and want to add analytics from its partner ecosystem.
- You prefer a fully cloud-managed system with vendor cameras and reliable high-bandwidth internet at every site, which is Verkada's model.
- You need a global vendor with a very long track record for group-level procurement.
Running alongside an existing VMS
You do not have to rip anything out. Neurabit VMS can take RTSP streams from the same cameras your current VMS records, and add analytics and alerting on top. Many sites start this way on a subset of cameras, then decide later whether to consolidate.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a Milestone alternative that includes AI analytics?
Yes. Neurabit VMS combines recording, playback and evidence export with 17 built-in AI scenarios such as PPE compliance, fire and smoke, and perimeter intrusion, so no separate analytics licence is needed.
Is there a Verkada alternative that works without internet?
Neurabit VMS runs entirely on hardware at your site. Recording, AI detection, rules and local alerting all continue with the internet down, and remote notifications are delivered when the link returns.
Can Neurabit VMS run alongside our existing Milestone or Genetec system?
Yes. It can read RTSP streams from the same cameras and add analytics and alerting on top, so you can trial it on a subset of cameras without changing your current setup.
How does the cost compare?
Neurabit VMS publishes its subscription price: from ₹800 per use case per camera per month with hardware included. To own the hardware, edge devices start at roughly ₹50,000 for up to 10 cameras, with per-use-case licences, perpetual or annual, priced on request. Milestone, Genetec and Verkada pricing is quoted through integrators or the vendor, so compare against a written quote for your camera count.
