Most security cameras only record. Spot AI gives them a job. It's a video AI platform that layers agentic intelligence onto the IP cameras a business already runs, so footage stops being a passive archive and starts working like a member of the team. Because it's camera-agnostic, there's no need to swap hardware, and most locations are live within days. For remote yards and perimeters, Spot also offers pole, wall, and trailer-mounted units with Starlink backhaul. Across retail, manufacturing, construction, and logistics, teams use plain-language search to pull up any moment in seconds instead of scrubbing hours of recording. The AI Security Guard reads context to tell routine activity from a real threat, then responds on site with talk-down, lights, and sirens before handing over time-stamped, case-ready clips. For operations, the AI Operations Assistant checks each shift against your SOPs, surfaces drift, and coaches staff with scorecards. In one security operations center review across more than 20 platforms, Spot's contextual detection produced a single-digit false-positive rate, against roughly 50% on traditional systems (customer-reported). The platform ships with more than 15 pre-trained agents across safety, security, and operations, and its Iris builder lets anyone create a custom detection in minutes using natural language. A hybrid edge-to-cloud setup keeps full-resolution video on site and moves only metadata, which keeps deployments NDAA-compliant and SOC 2. Native iPhone and Android apps put live view and alerts on any phone, and open APIs and webhooks tie video into Slack, Microsoft Teams, access control, POS, and inventory.
