AI video recognition that sees what matters

Custom computer vision that detects, tracks, and recognizes objects, people, faces, and license plates in live video — on the edge or in your cloud. Sub-200 ms inference, trained on your classes. First model in 5–7 weeks, from $8K. Our recognition reads 500,000+ vehicles a day in production.

Who this is for

Built for teams turning video into decisions

If you have cameras or video streams and need software to understand what is in them — count it, track it, recognize it, flag it — we build the recognition models and the pipeline around them.

Options

A cloud vision API, an off-the-shelf VMS, or custom recognition

A cloud vision API (AWS Rekognition, Google Vision) is quick but generic, priced per image, and your footage leaves your network. An off-the-shelf VMS bundles fixed analytics. A custom model is trained on your classes, runs on the edge, and the cost per camera drops as you scale.

A cloud API is fine to validate an idea. When accuracy on your specific classes, on-device latency, or keeping footage in your network matters, the custom model wins at any number of cameras. Securing a site specifically? See computer vision for video surveillance.

The pipeline

From a video stream to an action

Video recognition is a pipeline: see the frame, find the objects, follow them, recognize them, and decide what to do — fast enough to act on live video. Here is what we build.

Figure 1: The recognition pipeline. Detection, tracking, and recognition close in under ~200 ms at the camera, so an event is flagged while it is still happening.
1

Ingest

RTSP, WebRTC, or file streams come in from your cameras, decoded and frame-sampled for the model.

Continuous
2

Detect

YOLO26 or RT-DETR finds the objects in each frame — people, vehicles, products, PPE, whatever your classes are.

Budget <60 ms/frame
3

Track

ByteTrack or DeepSORT keeps a stable ID on each object as it moves, so you can count, dwell-time, and follow it.

Across frames
4

Recognize

Face recognition (ArcFace/InsightFace), ANPR for plates, or a custom classifier identifies the specific entity, not just its category.

The core hop
5

Events & rules

Zones, line-crossing, loitering, PPE-missing, count thresholds — the events that matter to your operation, defined by you.

Your logic
6

Deliver

Alerts, a live dashboard, or an API push to your systems, in real time, with the clip attached.

Act on it

End to end, recognition lands in under 200 ms on an NVIDIA Jetson at the camera, or in your cloud — fast enough to flag a problem while it is still happening.

The stack

The recognition stack we assemble

No single model is best at every task. We assemble the detector, tracker, and recognizer per job, train on your footage, and deploy where the latency has to be.

At scale

2,500+ cameras

V.A.L.T spans 2,500+ cameras for 770+ organizations and 50,000+ users — recording, observation, and analysis.

Safety

PPE & safety compliance

Detect missing hard hats, vests, or people in restricted zones, and alert before an incident.

Analytics

People counting & dwell

Count footfall, measure dwell time, and map flow through a space, in real time.

Build vs Buy

A cloud API, or a model trained on your video

A cloud vision API recognizes generic labels in someone else’s cloud. A custom model recognizes your classes, on your edge, with your footage staying put. Here is the split.

Accuracy on your classes & controllowhighOwnership & cost-per-cameraCloud vision APIOff-the-shelf VMSCustom recognition(Fora Soft)
Figure 2: Value axes, not scale. A model trained on your footage wins on accuracy, control, and per-camera economics — at any number of cameras.
Use a cloud vision API when
You are validating an idea and generic labels are enough
Volume is low and per-image pricing does not bite yet
You are fine with footage leaving your network
Right when: recognition is a quick experiment on generic objects.
Build custom when
Accuracy on your specific classes and conditions matters
You need on-device latency, or no connectivity at the camera
Footage and recognition data must stay in your cloud or on the edge
You want to define your own events, zones, and rules
At any size — a model trained on your video pays off from the first camera, not only at fleet scale
Right when: video recognition is part of your product or operation — a working model in 5–7 weeks.

Not sure it will hit your accuracy bar? The free MVP planning below proves it on a sample of your footage first.
