CoreX in detail

CoreX: connect, decide, respond, govern.

The central operations platform built and run by Nexus GP. This page walks through each module, the operating record it writes, how it deploys, how it scales and how a first evaluation is judged.

Schematic views. The product itself is at corex.nexusgp.co; illustrative data where labelled.

The operating loop

Five stages, one record, every module.

Each stage of the loop uses a product area you can open today and writes a field of the operating record. The product areas below are the ones visible in the live product.

  • Operations Hub
  • Overview
  • Alerts
  • AI Assistant
  • CCTV video wall
  • Focus
  • Cameras
  • Playback
  • AI overlay
  • Analytics profiles
  • Devices
  • Sources

The operating loop

  1. Connect

    Sources, Devices and Cameras register each approved input and map it into one reusable data model.

  2. Understand

    Overview, maps and the digital twin place the signal against its asset, zone, rule and time.

  3. Decide

    Workflows hold the rules: condition, severity, routing and cooldown, with a dry-run quick test.

  4. Act

    Alerts and Focus turn the result into an owned record: acknowledge, assign, comment, attach evidence, resolve.

  5. Govern

    Team and Settings hold roles, project-scoped permissions and the activity history behind every closure.

  • Sources, Devices and Workflows

    Where signals are registered, mapped and routed: the CCTV Hub, IoT Hub and Integration product areas.

  • Alerts and Focus

    Where a rule result becomes an owned record with acknowledge, assign, comment, evidence and resolve.

  • Team and Settings

    Where roles, project-scoped permissions and activity history are administered for every project.

Open the CoreX product site

CCTV Hub

Cameras, streams and AI profiles from mixed brands.

Approved video from different brands can feed the same CoreX application. Common video routes are standard product; deeper vendor functions are a separate, validated integration scope.

  • Video routes

    IP cameras, NVRs and encoders: RTSP pull where CoreX reads the video, RTMP push where the source sends it, and WebRTC browser viewing through the media relay.

    RTSP pull · RTMP push · WebRTC/WHEP

  • Camera registry

    Name the source, place it at a site, manage its stream and enable or disable it from the registry.

    One registry for the whole estate

  • Analytics profiles

    One profile defines source and model, zones and rule, notify and evidence, and a review of the profile against the real scene before approval.

    Source and model · zones and rule · notify and evidence · review

  • Vendor interfaces

    Common camera and NVR vendors such as Hikvision, Dahua and Uniview add their own event, playback and control APIs to RTSP video, each built as an agreed adapter and qualified per project on named models and firmware.

    Scoped per model and firmware

Schematic views of the configuration. The product itself is at corex.nexusgp.co.

IoT Hub

Sensors, meters and equipment data on one route to usable readings.

Different device families share a common route from raw field to named reading. Device families are integration examples, not a certified hardware list.

  • Device families

    Temperature and humidity, air quality, meters for kW, kWh and water, state sensors for leak, open or run, and location links with GPS and link health.

    Integration examples

  • Two routes in

    IP-ready devices send HTTPS JSON directly or through an MQTT bridge. An RTU or edge gateway translates 4 to 20 mA, dry contact and Modbus signals from older equipment.

    HTTPS JSON · MQTT bridge · RTU or edge gateway

  • Device types and field mapping

    A reusable schema defines what a device sends and how the application reads it, once for every project that references the type.

    Global field mapping

  • Illustrative transformation

    temp_raw 286, divide by 10, becomes temperature 28.6 °C. An example rule such as CO2 above 1,000 ppm then raises a review task for the facility team.

    Illustrative example

Schematic views. The temperature conversion is an illustrative example, not received telemetry.

Integration

Read approved points. Keep local control.

The integration route follows the data and the job it needs to support. HTTPS ingest and HTTP webhooks are implemented today; MQTT bridges, field-protocol gateways and system adapters are project integration work.

  • Building systems

    An approved read-only edge logger reads the agreed points from the existing building management system, for example Siemens or Daikin, over BACnet/IP, Modbus, OPC or API, with each site qualified per project.

    1. BMS and field equipment
    2. Approved edge logger
    3. Map and validate
    4. CoreX workflows
  • Existing platforms

    A REST adapter reads approved telemetry and alarms from a connected platform. Embedded dashboards are another route for existing views.

    1. Existing platform
    2. REST adapter
    3. CoreX monitoring view
  • Doors, forms and webhooks

    Door access events, inspection forms and HTTP webhooks can join one case by a configured location, with camera context when available; the form and case-correlation adapters are scoped per project.

    1. Approved event API or form
    2. Configured location join
    3. Case record with evidence

Writing back to equipment is scoped, approved work

HTTP webhook dispatch exists in CoreX today. Approval, command tracking, edge delivery and feedback confirmation, with the states requested, accepted, confirmed and not confirmed, need the scoped command adapter and local safety design.

AI Analytics

59 catalogue use cases, validated on your scene.

Five application families help select the analysis for the operating problem. Counts and delivery approaches follow the CoreX catalogue; each selected model needs camera-scene validation, and training depends on supported runtimes, approved data and human review.

Rules and Alerts

From condition to resolved record.

A shared alert record connects the signal to the person who handles it. The views are schematic; delivery channels require configuration and end-to-end testing per project.

  • Set the condition

    Severity, timing and cooldown on a selected device field. Quick test gives a dry-run review before the rule goes live.

    Condition · severity · cooldown · quick test

  • Choose recipients

    In-app alert to selected roles and users, email, Telegram, smart watch message and HTTP webhooks, each enabled per rule; WhatsApp and other channels are configured and tested per project.

    In-app · email · messaging · webhook

  • Track the response

    Acknowledge, assign, comment and resolve in the Alert Centre, with elapsed time visible against every open alert.

    Acknowledge · assign · comment · resolve

  • Worked example

    A network failover rule: WAN status equals failover, with in-app delivery to the admin role. An illustrative configuration, not a delivery claim.

Apps and Dashboards

One view for each job.

Connected data and reusable widgets give each team an application for its work. The editor combines layout, widgets and saved revisions; AI can propose changes that a person reviews and saves.

  • Widgets for each job

    KPI values for current or calculated measures, charts and tables to compare history, maps to place information in site context and camera views inside the app.

    KPI values · charts and tables · maps · camera views

  • The editor

    Choose readings, calculated values, cameras or alert records; select widgets, position them and check field settings; preview the layout and save a chosen revision.

    Layout · widgets · saved revisions

  • AI assistance

    Describe a change, such as a chart of alerts by severity. Preview the fields, layout and proposed changes, adjust or undo, then save the revision you choose.

      Platform foundation and hubs

      Nine hubs on one project foundation: projects, team access, solution modules, branding and deployment.

    Planned, concept, future and historical items are labelled as such and are not delivered products.

    Industry applications

    The same core, configured for each industry.

    Each application links a source, a platform function, an operating workflow and the value to measure. Every card states the delivery maturity of each application; planned, concept and historical items are never described as delivered.

    Planned, concept, future and historical items are labelled as such and are not delivered products.

    Deployment and scale

    Cloud now, hybrid connectable, private engineered per project.

    The same operating model runs in all three patterns: projects, role-based access, data models, rules, alert response, dashboards and activity history. Sizing and acceptance are project-specific.

    • Fully cloud

      Current reference. Applications, platform services, storage and analytics in an agreed cloud region for fast rollout and central portfolio operations.

      1. Site sources
      2. Secure internet or API
      3. Managed CoreX cloud
      4. Web and mobile users
    • Hybrid edge and cloud

      Project-connectable. Local media, customer analytics or a gateway at the site; the control plane in the cloud for central and site teams.

      1. CCTV, IoT and OT
      2. Local media or analytics and gateway
      3. Cloud control plane
      4. Central and site teams
    • Private data centre

      Project-engineered. Platform services and data inside the customer security boundary, hosted by the customer or integrator, for residency and isolation.

      1. Private site network
      2. Customer security boundary
      3. Dedicated CoreX stack
      4. Internal or approved users

    10,000+ endpoints is an architecture target, qualified by load test

    The architecture is scale-aware; production capacity is tested for each project. Device inventory, concurrent viewing, AI channels and data retention are sized and load-tested separately before acceptance.

    The scale path built into the operating architecture

    1. Edge and connector topology
    2. Secure ingest
    3. Data and event layer
    4. Operations services
    5. Role-based views

    Multi-project control plane

    One control plane across projects, sites and teams.

    Organise the estate once, then give each team the view and access it needs. The control plane exists in the product today and centralises operations and evidence while local systems keep control.

    Administration view, schematic
    • Projects

      Agency, contract, site and application organised as isolated projects under one administration view.

    • Users and roles

      Central team, customer, operator and field roles, with role templates and project-scoped permissions.

    • Active operations

      Alerts, status, owner, comments and activity history across every connected project.

    • Connectivity health

      Devices, cameras and source connection state, so teams see where attention is needed.

    Governance

    Cross-cutting governance on every project.

    Governance is part of the core, not a module to add later. Native VMS, BMS, network systems and controllers remain authoritative for specialist control.

    • Project isolation

      Each project holds its own sources, applications, rules and users, isolated from every other project on the same platform.

    • Role-based access

      Role templates with module and action permissions, scoped to each project, so each team sees only its work.

    • Activity history

      Every acknowledge, assignment, comment, revision and closure is recorded for audit and reports.

    • Human approval where required

      Configured workflows add approval steps; AI proposals and model updates are previewed and approved by a person.

    Phased expansion

    From physical operations to networks and governed agents, on the same core.

    Capability is added in controlled phases without changing the CoreX platform. Native controllers remain authoritative; any future write-back is connector-specific, allow-listed, approval-gated and commissioned.

    1. Phase 1, now: physical operations

      CCTV, IoT, buildings, safety, alerts, dashboards, role-based access and activity history. Connect, detect, respond and track today's projects.

    2. Phase 2, proposed: network operations

      Observe first. Read firewall, router, switch and wireless inventory, correlate health, open incidents and track service levels.

    3. Phase 3, proposed: governed domain agents

      Context retrieval, cited recommendation, human approval and allow-listed action, adding domain intelligence with accountable control.

    Start with a focused evaluation

    Select on working evidence, not on a catalogue.

    Use existing cameras and a small set of useful events. Agree the test scenes, observation window and acceptance criteria before testing, then select the delivery package on the verified fit.

    1. Name the first site and operating job

      Camera and NVR details, approved stream access, screenshots of the reports or dashboards you use today, priority events and the people who respond.

    2. Build the operating example

      One connected view, two or three selected events, a response workflow and a scoped integration plan.

    3. Review the evidence

      Alert usefulness, response time and completed actions against agreed examples, then confirm fit and expansion scope.

    4. Select the delivery package

      Use the verified fit to agree deployment, support, extensions and an itemised quotation.

    Delivery and support

    Clear roles from delivery to ongoing support.

    Agree who owns the customer outcome, the platform work and the local operating service. Pricing, source code, exclusivity and territory are agreed separately.

    • Partner

      Leads the customer relationship, the operating job and the sector solution. After training, configures supported projects, views and rules.

    • Nexus GP

      Provides the product, roadmap, configuration and engineering, tested releases, L3 support and product escalation.

    • Local technical team

      Plans approved connectivity, local deployment, installation, training, handover and the agreed support response.

    • Enablement kit

      Sales story, demo script, user guides, admin guides, training and an escalation RACI.

    • Commercial paths

      A partner subscription or OEM structure, or a perpetual licence of one agreed version with future releases separate.

    Next step

    Open the product, or name your first site.

    Explore CoreX on the product site, or bring the site, the systems you can approve and the exception that matters most, and we will propose one lighthouse scope with the evidence to judge it.
