Inspect an Nx Cloud site backup from your desktop
Connect to owned or shared Nx Cloud sites with Pro, check backup permissions and open a temporary site database in memory without port forwarding.
Export an Nx Witness camera inventory to CSV or JSON
Create camera lists and full site reports with NX Camera Info Pro. Choose masked exports, understand report formats and use the command-line tools.

Understand the Pro reports: local and cloud users, server addresses, saved storage values, full Nx licence keys and calculated remaining deactivations.
From an Nx Witness backup to a site visit with SADPTools
Combine NX Camera Info reports with sister app SADPTools to carry saved camera information into authorised discovery, device checks and site documentation.
Choose the right starting point.
If you already have a backup, use Free to check that the app can read its camera inventory. If your only access is through Nx Cloud, you need Pro and an account with backup rights on that site. If the problem is lost recordings or a damaged disk, this app’s configuration reports are only one part of a separate recovery job.
