IC Realtime has built professional security cameras and video systems since 2006. For homeowners, builders, and facility teams in NJ, CT, and NY who need surveillance that stays serviceable after handover, Restrepo Innovations is the Elite Pro Crestron Dealer and Ubiquiti UISP/Pro Partner that can coordinate cameras, recording, networking, control, and long-term support (IC Realtime company history).
IC Realtime is headquartered in South Florida and lists a major operational presence in Goodyear, Arizona. Its markets include residential, commercial, government, and military channels. A private driveway and a multi-building site need different retention, access, network, and service plans.
IC Realtime built around the installer
Its 20-year milestone page names Matt Sailor as Founder and CEO, Bob Odierna as Founder and COO, and Andrew Nassar as CTO. The company says its products are shaped by installer feedback and field conditions. A surveillance system has to work for the person who specifies it, installs it, diagnoses it, and supports it later (IC Realtime 20-year history).
The camera catalog covers real deployment conditions
IC Realtime lists 66 camera products across IP and HD-AVS technology. The catalog runs from 1080P through 12MP and includes fixed, varifocal, panoramic, fisheye, PTZ, and multi-directional form factors. Power and cabling options include PoE, PoE+, Hi-PoE, ePoE, 12V DC, and 24V AC, with outdoor models carrying IP66, IP67, IK08, or IK10 ratings depending on the product (IC Realtime camera catalog).
| System choice | Where it fits | Planning question |
|---|---|---|
| Fixed or varifocal IP camera | Entry, driveway, corridor, or service area | What field of view and night detail are required? |
| PTZ or multi-directional camera | Large exterior, parking, or shared site | Who will operate presets and review events? |
| AI-enabled NVR | Multi-camera home, business, or campus | How will retention, search, and permissions be documented? |
The system around the camera matters. Resolution does not fix an undersized switch, a poor VLAN plan, a recorder without storage headroom, or missing service documentation. Resolve camera placement, PoE budget, rack space, UPS capacity, retention, and remote access before the walls close.
Analytics should reduce review time, not create noise
IC Realtime lists intelligent motion detection, perimeter protection, tripwire, people counting, heat maps, face detection, face recognition, automatic number plate recognition, object search, and other analytics across its camera and recorder catalog. The right feature depends on the scene. A driveway, a retail entrance, a pool gate, and a loading area should not share one alert rule (IC Realtime business security systems).
In June 2026, CEO Matt Sailor described the shift toward metadata, edge processing, and real-time detection. He also made the necessary distinction: AI can flag repeated perimeter intrusions or lingering vehicles, but it cannot predict criminal intent. Analytics should surface evidence and support a response, not promise certainty (IC Realtime June 2026 commentary).
Local storage and control still matter
IC Realtime lists recorders from 4 through 256 channels, with model-specific storage, throughput, metadata, object search, and perimeter protection. A designer can match the recorder to the property instead of defaulting to a small appliance or a required cloud subscription (IC Realtime recorder catalog).
IC Realtime also highlights Wi-Fi cameras with local SD storage and no required cloud use. Retention, user roles, remote access, firmware updates, and export permissions belong in the handover package.
Crestron integration puts video in the room's operating system
IC Realtime publishes native Crestron Home drivers for compatible MX, FX, and EL cameras and NVRs. The integration supports live view, snapshots, PTZ control, recorder control, and motion events that can trigger actions such as lighting changes. Camera settings still need to be configured by a professional integrator during installation (IC Realtime Crestron Home integration).
That puts surveillance inside the property's operating system. A driveway event can bring the right camera to a touch panel. A pool-area event can turn on exterior lighting. A commercial operator gets documented views and role-based access instead of another interface to learn.
2026 brings investment in software and AI
On April 29, 2026, IC Realtime announced a $2 million Series A led by John Hatherly, founder of Wynnchurch Capital, through a personal investment. The company said the funding will support video management, edge intelligence, cloud analytics, and a more unified software environment. Hatherly joined the board (IC Realtime Series A announcement).

"A camera is only one part of a security system. The network, storage, control path, and service plan determine whether the system is dependable after the project is finished." — Michael Restrepo
IC Realtime brings a 2006 origin, a broad catalog, native Crestron Home drivers, and a current push into software and AI. Restrepo brings local coordination and support for projects where video must work with the building.
