Spot AI
San Francisco, California, United States
What it is
Spot AI uses AI agents to observe camera activity, assess it against goals or standard operating procedures, and trigger real-time responses for security, safety, and operations. Its system combines a cloud dashboard with an Intelligent Video Recorder that processes AI on edge and stores video locally around the clock. Spot AI says it works with existing IP cameras, including systems that provide an RTSP stream. Agents can support security deterrence, operational optimization, and safety or SOP compliance; Iris lets users ask camera questions in plain language and receive reports. The product includes real-time alerts, object detection, behavior and event detection, industry templates, and a REST API for camera and intelligence data, automation, and integrations. Listed connections include Avigilon Alta, Azure AD, Brivo, Microsoft 365, Okta, and Rinsed. Spot AI states that video is encrypted at rest and in transit with AES-128, and supports role-based access and SSO/SAML. The free tier costs nothing, but covers only the dashboard, limits video analysis volume, and excludes hardware and Spot AI Support. Paid services are priced on request; a 15-day trial is listed.
