Connect
Establish RootTruth™ access to the relevant PLC endpoint and camera streams within the customer’s approved network architecture.
INTEGRATION
Add an investigation layer without rebuilding your automation stack.
RootTruth™ is being designed to work around the PLCs, cameras and on-site infrastructure already running your operation, with vendor-neutral connectivity and local-first deployment at the centre of the architecture.

This represents the intended product architecture. Exact deployment sizing and supported device combinations will be validated against each site as the product matures.
01
OPC UA-first
RootTruth™’s primary controls integration is designed around OPC UA so it can work across mixed PLC environments without forcing a customer into one automation vendor.
02
RTSP / ONVIF video
Standard IP camera protocols are the target approach so suitable existing camera infrastructure can be reused where practical.
03
Local-first operation
Core event capture and investigation should continue on site without relying on a permanent internet connection.
04
Configuration-led deployment
Machines, events, cameras and tags are intended to be configured rather than custom-coded for every standard deployment.
WHAT RootTruth DOES NOT REPLACE
Keep the systems that already run the plant.
RootTruth™ is not intended to become the PLC, HMI, SCADA, historian or CCTV system. Its job is to bring the relevant evidence from those environments into a purpose-built investigation workflow.

A STANDARD DEPLOYMENT
Designed to become repeatable, not bespoke forever.
Browse & select
Select the tags, event conditions and cameras that matter for each machine or system.
Configure
Set event logic, pre/post windows, correlation behaviour, case rules and notification preferences.
Validate
Use a controlled test trigger to confirm timestamps, evidence capture and replay before activation.
Operate
RootTruth™ then waits for configured events and automatically preserves the investigation evidence.
LOCAL DATA. CUSTOMER CONTROL.
Designed for industrial environments where data location matters.
The core deployment philosophy is local-first: event evidence can remain on customer-controlled infrastructure, with optional cloud-enabled capabilities introduced separately where the customer wants them.
On-premises capableCore capture and investigation without continuous internet dependency.
Named user accessRole-based access and auditability are part of the product direction.
No automatic machine controlRootTruth observes, records and supports investigation; it is not intended to command PLC outputs as part of the standard evidence workflow.
SITE DISCOVERY
What we would review before deployment.
PLC connectivity
Controller types, OPC UA availability, network route and the event/tag scope required.
Camera environment
Existing IP cameras, stream compatibility, retention expectations and where new cameras may be useful.
Server / VM capacity
Expected event volume, video load, storage window and deployment location.
Security requirements
Network segmentation, user access, retention policy and customer IT/OT standards.
YOUR ENVIRONMENT
Tell us what PLCs, cameras and systems you already run.
We can use that information to shape a pilot or deployment approach around the environment you already have.
