LVT

LVT (LiveView Technologies) is an American physical-security company that builds solar-powered, cellular-connected mobile surveillance units (MSUs) and the SaaS/PaaS platform that runs them — live video, AI analytics, alerting, lights, loudspeakers and AI talk-down — for retail, commercial, industrial, critical-infrastructure and public-sector sites. Founded in 2005 and headquartered in American Fork, Utah, LVT publishes a public Partner API: a REST service over JSON, described by a first-party OpenAPI 3.0.3 document on GitHub, that lets SOC operators and integrators list live units and locations, control cameras (pan/tilt/zoom), start RTSP and WebRTC streams through the LVT camera relay, play sounds, toggle lights, initiate speaker talk-down, review and resolve security alert events, fetch signed media URLs, and register HMAC-signed webhooks. The same API backs LVT's pre-built integrations with Immix, Axon Fusus and Genetec Security Center, and LVT units also present themselves to third-party VMS platforms as ONVIF cameras.

LVT publishes 9 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Cameras API, Events API, Live Units API, and 6 more. Tagged areas include Company, Physical Security, Video Surveillance, Camera, and Video Streaming.

The LVT catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

LVT’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, pricing, and 28 more developer resources.
