Short Description

A veteran-owned R&D firm creating open-architecture, browser-based Video Management Software (VMS) and context-aware AI search tools for global enterprise surveillance networks.

Overview

IPConfigure is an industry-leading software developer specializing in highly scalable, open-platform enterprise video surveillance solutions. Founded by a U.S. Navy veteran, the company’s flagship Orchid VMS platform and SteelFin hardware appliances allow multi-site corporations, universities, and massive Fortune 500 retailers to securely view, manage, and scale their physical security camera networks locally or seamlessly in the cloud. By building out browser-based architectures that support over 30,000 third-party camera models, the software completely removes the need for proprietary thick-client applications or heavy licensing overhead.

Headquartered on a custom 4.5-acre innovation campus in Norfolk, the firm has integrated agentic AI into its core lineup through Orchid AI, enabling security teams to execute real-time object tracking and context-aware forensic search without tedious scrubbing. Operating as a reliable ground-truth system of record, the platform actively protects distributed footprints across thousands of global locations for major enterprise brands, including Kroger, Dollar Tree, and Valvoline.
