Spot AI

Spot AI develops a system that leverages AI to analyze and extract insights from security camera footage. The data the company pulls from the cameras is searchable by text or image queries. Spot’s cameras include the 81B, for areas that require long-distance viewing; the 81D, for monitoring areas prone to vandalism; and the 81P, for dynamic environments such as stadiums and airports. While the company offers a suite of premium IP cameras, Spot’s proprietary software works with footage from any camera—however analog—to read and categorize the video captured. Users can monitor live feeds of their locations on a unified dashboard from any device, scrub video with AI-based attribute search, conduct people and presence searches, track and analyze idle time, and quickly share footage via text or email.

Customers can choose to run Spot’s software on their own existing cameras, or utilize the company’s cameras for a complete solution. Spot’s standard IP cameras are free, and its specialty cameras are available for purchase. The company employs a hybrid hardware-as-a-service (HaaS) pricing model, in which customers own the hardware but pay ongoing subscription fees for the software. Fees vary based on the number of camera feeds, days of storage retention, and license term. Subscriptions include dedicated onboarding, training and support, and automated software updates every two weeks.
