Eagle Eye Networks vs Trivy

The short version
- Only Trivy has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
- Each has a real cost: Eagle Eye Networks cost scales with retention as well as resolution, and long retention has been observed to increase the monthly figure by 200 to 400 percent over 7 day storage, so an insurer or regulator raising the retention requirement can multiply the bill without adding cameras.; Trivy reports what public advisory databases know, so coverage varies by ecosystem and unfixed CVEs create noise
- They diverge on capability: Eagle Eye Networks covers Bridge and CMVR appliances, Trivy covers Multi-target scanning.

Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Eagle Eye Networks
- Cost scales with retention as well as resolution, and long retention has been observed to increase the monthly figure by 200 to 400 percent over 7 day storage, so an insurer or regulator raising the retention requirement can multiply the bill without adding cameras.
- Pricing is not published, so the widely cited 15 to 50 US dollars per camera per month range is a reseller-derived estimate rather than a rate you can hold Eagle Eye to.
- Every camera needs upstream bandwidth for continuous upload, so sites on poor connections either degrade quality or lose the cloud advantage, and the bridge only buffers for a limited period during an outage.
- Video lives in Eagle Eye’s data centres, which raises data residency questions for public bodies and for European buyers, and exit means downloading years of footage before a subscription ends.
- It is a per-camera subscription with no perpetual option, so a large site that would have paid once for an on-premises VMS pays indefinitely, and the crossover point against a Genetec or Milestone deployment usually arrives within a few years.
Trivy
- Reports what public advisory databases know, so coverage varies by ecosystem and unfixed CVEs create noise
- No built-in triage or exception workflow, so suppressing accepted risk is managed in config files
- Findings are point-in-time from CI, with no continuous runtime monitoring unless you add the commercial platform

Answered from the vendors’ own pages
Eagle Eye Networks: Do I need Eagle Eye cameras?
No. The bridge connects existing ONVIF cameras, which is the main reason organisations pick it over camera-maker cloud services.
Trivy: Is Trivy free?
Yes, open source from Aqua Security with no licence fee. Aqua sells a commercial platform around it.
Eagle Eye Networks: What does it cost per camera?
Not published. Independent observations put it between roughly 15 and 50 US dollars per camera per month depending on resolution and retention, with Canadian examples up to 79 for 90 day 4K.
Trivy: What can Trivy scan?
Container images, filesystems, Git repositories, Kubernetes clusters and infrastructure-as-code, for vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, secrets and licences.
Eagle Eye Networks: What happens if my internet drops?
The on-site bridge buffers recording locally and uploads when the connection returns, but buffer capacity is finite and a long outage loses footage.
Trivy: Does Trivy need a server?
No. It is a single binary, which is a large part of why it became a default in CI.
Eagle Eye Networks: Where is my video stored?
In Eagle Eye’s data centres. Confirm the region before buying if you have data residency obligations.
