Who is Mirasys?

Mirasys was founded in Helsinki in 1997 as a spin-off from video phone technology. The company made one of the first digital video recorders, at the time when security was moving from analogue to digital.

Mirasys calls itself "the only purely European video management system": all development takes place in Finland ("100% R&D in Finland"). The head office of Mirasys Oy is in Espoo, close to Helsinki.

What does Mirasys make?

Mirasys makes software, not cameras. The platform consists of these components (mirasys.com, accessed 1 November 2026).

Mirasys VMS: the platform

The server that records, stores and manages all cameras and sensors. Unlimited servers and cameras in one system. Runs on your own servers, on ready-made Mirasys hardware or a combination.

Spotter and Spotter Web

Spotter is the operator software: live viewing, searching recordings, handling alerts and exporting footage. Spotter Web does the same in the browser, without installation.

Mobile viewing

Spotter also works on a mobile device, so you can view live and recorded footage on the go.

Analytics and integrations

Mirasys integrates access control, intruder and fire alarms and supports more than 8,000 camera models (ONVIF). Read more about video content analytics.

Why choose Mirasys VMS?

European

Development entirely in Finland. According to Mirasys, this means your footage falls under European jurisdiction, in line with the GDPR (AVG in Dutch).

Open platform

Supports cameras from brands including Axis, Bosch, Dahua and Hanwha via ONVIF (Profile G/S/T/M). Mirasys is a member of ONVIF.

Scalable

From one site to an entire city: unlimited servers and cameras in one domain, without rebuilding the system.

Easy to operate

Spotter is designed so you can work with it from day one, with everything an operator needs in one place.

In short, there are plenty of issues we can help with as a Mirasys installation company. It is important to discuss these topics with your installer to prevent problems in the future.

Storing camera footage

How long must the footage be stored? And is there room for any expansion of security cameras in terms of server and network capacity?
Must the footage be stored centrally, or perhaps even at multiple sites?

Log files

Is there an obligation in your sector to store footage or log files for a longer period? If so, for how long and in how much detail?

Legislation

Must your organisation comply with ISO standards or NEN standards (Dutch national standards)? Has the camera software been assessed against them? Who is responsible for processing personal data?
